I miss him.

>>39155429
Dead artist literally

>>39155468
What happened to him?

it's not fair bros

>>39155493
He inexplicably went silent on the internet in February of 2021, leading some to suspect that he commited suicide or got in an accident.

>>39155419
Not a month goes by where I don't

>>39155582
He also got the coof which hospitalized him for some time and may have also killed him.

Those official artists who went Mia

>>39155429
hater, if you're alive
please grace us with more HUGE satorin!

>>39155419

>>39155419
Nicutoka has been gone for a few years now. Dont really know what happened.

>>39155419
No. I hate traitors

>>39156486
I always thought the circumstances around those guys was kinda creepy on how they changed artists game-to-game like whoever they hired to make artwork was cursed to mysteriously disappear.

I miss this guy, he probably died

>>39161407
He could at least release all do his models

Coffgirl was great

He's still alive but moved from 2hu stuff. He retweet some 2hu stuff sometimes but now what he draws most are his OC.

Where did Shan go, the world may never know...

>>39161369
Touhou fighting games are cursed, Moe lasted more because of the manga, but after her own manga flopped she just doesn't exist anymore it's really sad.

>>39156486
I checked up on some of them recently
the artist from the first sangetsusei run is actually still around, but doesn't do touhou anymore
https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/25850
moe finished forbidden scrollery, had two chapters of her original manga published before it got cancelled and then she pretty much disappeared
alphes did hopeless masquerade, then also disappeared from the studio and the world. There were rumours that he had some sort of injury and had to drop out, but it could have just been the backlack to HM
aki eda's last pixiv post was in 2019, and it was kancolle
https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/276996
ginmokusei is still around and still does touhou doujins after dropping out of chireikiden

>>39167233
>kancolle
Got a laugh out of me. thankfully aki eda still exist in Twitter, this is her last Touhou related art but she's still active

Died, came back for a bit, then died again. Real shame.

Always liked Panzer's old style

>>39155419
I still mourn Terajin's abandonment of Touhou. Even worse is the bitter sting that he draws k*ncolle almost exclusively now. Well, like Dr. Seuss once said, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Miyamoto Ryuuichi. Loved this guy comedy doujins. And his hentai ones. One of those classic artists to me.

Also Chihiro fucking loved his artstyle and those Yuuka Doujins.

Sheya's abandonment of Touhou is also very sad
n0enn's stuff was top tier but they consistently nuked everything every couple of months (pic related)
towako's departure left us with a lot less Grassroots art

It sucks that Wool got burnt out on drawing Touhou, but completely understandable since it's been his main focus for years. Ideally he should draw whatever he wants even if it means stepping away from Touhou for awhile. I just hope he doesn't completely abandon it.

>>39162009
i like that guy's ganondorf stuff more since i didnt know he did touhou

>>39158979
faggot

>>39171222
chihiro will always be my go to Yuuka fanartist. he got her so right.
sad what happened with him.

>>39155419
T-Ray

>>39172037
Nah, he should just stick with his vtuber shit and that'd be good riddance.

Will they ever come back and finish their creation?

>>39155419
大和D

>>39180161
why the hate? where did Wool touch you anon?

>>39180250
The creation has been finished you just haven't realized yet.

>>39180161
Artists can focus on more than one thing you know, and besides burn out fucking sucks. Unless it's an obvious trendhopper I'm not gonna strike an artist off my radar just because they draw a few things I don't like.

>>39180299
Another one that became a b*tefag JUDAS before vanishing. Many such cases...

>>39181313
Not him but Wool is an obvious trendhopper. You can tell because the path of the bandwagoners is always Touhou ---> Kancolle/Fate ----> Vtubers
No one is shitting on bkub or Tsukumizu, who started with Touhou then moved on to do their original stuff which made them rich.

>>39185722
Anon, just because Wool doesn't draw touhou all the time doesn't mean he's a trend hopper. Did you even check his gallery? He's still drawing touhou and only did like one or two vtubers/kancolle shit

>>39155419
taco_touhou
i cri evrytim

>>39155419
spacejin still draws 2hus, he just doesn't draw much in general lately
despite professional quality artwork, he's not actually an artist for a living iirc

I know he's not a strictly illustration artist, but asatoshi more or less stopping burning meiling and doing fight scenes with random pretty boys and fucking vtuber intro animations or some shit hurts me deeply

>>39190775
>and fucking vtuber intro animatio
Of course, typical JUDAS behavior.

>>39167233
I hope Ginmokusei comes back to Chireikiden someday, I really like their style

>>39164764
The art was good, but the manga was so boring, really should stick to only do the art

I still wonder, what the fuck happened to alphes, did ZUN actually hubt him down?

>>39200773
All official Touhou mangas are fucking boring, people only read them because they are official. It's a shame because there's so many doujinshi that kick the ass of the official mangas, the characters and setting are not the problem.

>>39200815
I really love the three fairies series of manga; I think the stories are really cute.

>>39200880
Definitely the best manga and the most Touhou feeling of them.

>>39200815
the problem is that the mangas aren't really allowed to tell stories that would shake up gensokyo's status quo, so the stakes are never high

>>39200925
I dont think thats the real issue.

In my opinion the real problem is that they refuse to do what fandom actually wants - focus on characters who arent main heroines.

Fandom loves stuff like mystia having her cart or byakuren riding her bike. Just add more depth and character to existing characters, stuff that community can work with.

Instead we mostly get either stories focused on usual suspects (Rei, Mari, Aya, Mamizou, Suika etc) or on some random youkai who arent worth being real character.

>>39200948
I guess that's true, I enjoyed SSiB and the Inaba mangas, but those were an age ago

Who are some recent Touhou artists that you guys have on your radars. ~1-2 year span.

>>39185689
qrd?

>>39158979
Those two artists were very big in /jp/ a while back.

>>39155672
>the coof
It's called COVID-19, anon.

>>39210287
I think you mean the chinky flu

>>39201367
Myself

>>39200880
Their pranking wasn't high-quality enough for my liking.

>>39176247
what happened to Chihiro? I used to love his stuff but he dropped off the face of the earth

>>39171089
He just released a new nitori doujin, but yeah, his old style is better.

>>39155520
what happened to him?

>>39155419
Nicetack didn't even move on from the series, he still retweets stuff. He just stopped drawing entirely

>>39214467
if i got the whole story correctly he wanted to go legit and draw licensed manga or something. that's why he purged all his old stuff, changed his pen name, and completely stopped making lewds. right now he barely even makes touhou related stuff anymore

-GOLD ENDING-
Artist starts with Touhou,never drops it and gets so popular that he gets to publish his original stuff
-GOOD ENDING-
Artist starts with Touhou and never drops it, while also drawing other stuff, however he remains as a fanartist
-NEUTRAL ENDING-
Artist starts doing Touhou, gets so popular that he gets to publish his original stuff, but ends up dropping Touhou
OR
Artist naturally becomes disinterested with Touhou and simply gets interested in something else.
-BAD ENDING-
Artist starts doing Touhou, jumps over to Kancolle when he sees it's getting popular, and from that it's just hopping endlessly from popular franchise to popular franchise.

>>39216530
-NIGHTMARE ENDING-
Artist starts with Touhou, eventually stops drawing anything at all

it just keeps happening

>>39216530
>Artist starts doing Touhou, jumps over to Kancolle when he sees it's getting popular, and from that it's just hopping endlessly from popular franchise to popular franchise

https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?page=1&tags=matsushita_yuu

I was thinking about this guy when I wrote this by the way. I know danbooru is not the best source but you can see it right here in the gallery. Go to his earliest pages and see how it's a variety of different franchises, but mostly Touhou, and how he used to have Sakuya as waifu and everything. And then go to page 10 of the gallery and see how he switched to Kancolle practically overnight and started drawing NOTHING but Kancolle. It's fucking uncanny. Seriously, it takes until page 4 for something that's not Kancolle to show up. And of course, he didn't draw anything Touhou ever again. The guy seemed so dedicated to Touhou and it just changed completely overnight. Like man I know people's interests change, but such a sudden turn is so weird to see.

Anyone has a Hydrant pixiv backup?

>>39201367
Fjmsu

>>39216699
What a facking Judas, he sold his own waifu for 30 pieces of DMM silver. It's always K*ncolle because it was the popular fad that appeared exactly when Touhou was waning in popularity for the first time. Even KamS jumped into the botefag bandwagon and never did anything Touhou again.

>>39189013
so sad they left nothing behind at all

I used to like mmmmatimmmmati till he developed that shitty muscle fetish.

>>39155419
Big tits...

>>39238647
You need to have big balls if you dare to touch them.

>>39214708
He pulled a 'his own reisen' huh?

fuantei seemingly disappearing brought me sadness, their works were quite fun

>>39250712
The fuck? He deleted everything from his pixiv and even deleted his webpage! What happened to him?

>>39214357
I don't know about recent stuff, but loads of things.
first he started drawing more and more boatsluts, but his style was still the same, quality stuff. but some time after he went digital. man... what a waste.

>>39251594
Where can I even view his newer stuff? I knew about the boatsluts and it's a damn shame to hear about that but as a drawfag I have an academic interest in this sort of thing.

reading this thread is like watching a church collapse

>>39251337
No clue, I believe the last things they did were some fate doujins because of course and then radio silence since like...3, 4 years ago.

>>39176400

>>39201367
greenkohgen

>>39158979
What's wrong with them? They were once very big on /jp/ and in touhou fandom.

>>39155419
I'll always miss melon22's Touhou drawings due to him moving onto Arknights and Fate, his Junko ones are wonderful.

>>39263816
They moved on.

What the fuck is with artists drawing touhou for years, suddenly switching to a current trend and then completely disappearing afterwards?

Is it them commiting some gay sort of digital seppuku after dishonorabru chasing a quick buck and failing?

>>39266564
>They moved on
>Hatater
I think he moved on to the afterlife after Christmas.

>>39250712
I forgot fuantei existed.

>>39155429
I don't

>>39263816
Have you seen their art? Especially the latter.

>>39212266
this

I have a feeling spacejin moved on a bit because of copycats desu

>>39303870
Was he really affected by that? My respect for him plummeted after he claimed that the copycats are plagiarizing him rather than them simply being inspired by him, which was clearly the case.

>>39303870
>>39305855
I only know of that one artist who appeared to have traced his work, I would say that falls pretty squarely into plagiarism. Has he called out anyone else?

>>39267143
Thank God and good riddance.

>>39306066
Does it really even matter?

Karaagetarou, aka the "the mistress is being denigrated!" guy, no longer doing Touhou hurt so bad. He made the most lovely doujin. I think he went legit and never looked back.

>>39218508
WHY

1949/vito/Al1eron I don't know what exactly happened to him. But judging by what I could find, he is not on the internet anymore.

Him just deleting himself off the internet sucks so much more than normal, because iirc I was mutuals on tumblr with him

>>39311573
I remember he would draw Nue in different styles

>>39311573
that's one wide heian creature

>>39317451
Her entire body is not wide, she just has a gigantic ass. thanks to being a yokai, her fat can be redirected to other parts of her body; as cunning as Nue is, she decided to eat a lot a redirect all that fat to her so she can finally get a human husband and stop being a virgin.

potato

>>39311573
Last time I saw him he was making TF2 fanart but I believe he deleted that account too

>artist never draw 2hu stuff again
>if he does, it's only for with commission on Skeb or Pixiv request
I hate it.

>>39335979
I miss tsukiwani, he quit touhou right when his art got good and now only does the rare commission

>>39336054
Toudori too, i loved his Meiling.

Kitano
Asyura Kumo

>>39161969
too bad she stop drawing.
คิดถึงพี่แกจัง

>artist stops drawing 2hu
>becomes vtuber
>stops drawing altogether
it still hurts

>>39336054
So long as warugaki keeps making 2hu doujins, I can endure.

>>39337826
You dropped your noodles on the post bro
