Touhou Crimson Rumia

The youkai of dusk who can manipulate darkness at will.

I'm getting a bit tired to my usual "explosive" coloring style, so I'll try to simplify things. This is actually alternative colored version, the original doesn't have as menacing color scheme.

I'm quite satisfied how this turned out. Cute, yet creepy look suits Rumia perfectly.

When I made this, I made terrible mistake... when I got the lineart done, I rescaled the work to 40% to export the lineart as smaller image file. Then I kept working on the piece. In decreased resolution. When I realized it, it was already too late to undo. The effort I put on the lineart was enormous, so it felt quite bad. But I didn't give up. I actually rescaled the work back to it's original resolution (3300x4400px) and drew the lineart again. I think it was worth it.

Program used: Paint Tool SAI
