Honestly, now I really wanna go in a corner and cry again. Why? I have watched again images from Cannonball and DanKagu. Just look at these beautiful animations, which, even if they are just Live2D models, they are so much more cute and lively than the PowerPoint presentation that is LostWord Picked two Yuyuko examples just because I got them by chance one next to the other (and because she is adorable in both). Top one is from Cannonball, bottom from DanKagu (I did not know that game had a story mode)

@CountVonNumenor Presumably, you have more experience with/understanding of standard artistic depiction of human features, both in general and in specific relation to age. As such, you are able to analyze Zun's artstyle against said standard and judge it accordingly. I am not so familiar with such standards, and as such I am only capable of viewing this art according to personal perception. I note a wide variety of appearances in the people I see, and as such my association between appearance and age is less defined (additionally, people here are occasionally insecure about their age, discouraging analysis). When I look at Zun's art, the most I perceive is the proportionate depiction of the human figure, and associated aesthetic considerations. I like his art style, and that's about as far as it goes.

Hello! I am Monad JamCast (left my old name there), I am a random dude from Eastern Europe who loves to joke around stuff, play games, etc. Im also an aspiring game dev, hopefully if I can make a Touhou game! Looking forward to meet you

and kanako? you never really said anything about her

Wow, now I really wanna see that one

yeah cannonball is really a good game but with poor marketing and low income to pay for the live2d and VA so yeah dead is inevitable :(, And now Touhou DK is following the same route as well it is a shame. Also that maniac who like akuuu alot is back now and he going even more wild than before

Two more comments I took notice of from the orignal post of this question: "Characters like Nemuno, Urumi, and Junko look older than young girls, but they still don't really look like adults to me. I think it's just his art style. He doesn't draw wrinkles or angles. Characters drawn in ZUN style are round and have smooth skin and huge eyes. Those are all features of babies." "I mean look at Byakuren's sprite in UFO, she looks like a tall kid not an actual grown-ass woman. Also take a look at the ZUN's music collections covers. Specifically Changeability of Strange Dream's cover then compare it to 5.5's and Old Bar Adam. The more time passes the younger they look, and they're supposed to be university students..." Looking at those, yeah, they really do seem to regress in age with each album (pointed out here with the extremes, first two and most recent two CD covers). Maribel and Renko really do look like toddlers on CD 9.5 if you ask me to be honest. I was supposed to get this part of text written many hours ago, but got something on the way and only now did I manage to get back home and write it.

I decided to look at all the portraits of characters from 1-18 and the only ones I could see that actually looked like adults are kanako and raiko of all characters (and even kanako looks like she has some baby fat on her cheeks) meanwhile raiko looks straight up like a young adut

(Repost from r/touhou found here) https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/wq9ich/can_zun_draw_a_matureadultlooking_character/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) I really do not want to insult his art style. There is something unique about it, and represents one of the defining features for the Touhou games. My question is coming from reading the notes ZUN wrote for his miscellaneous drawings, particularly the commentary for "Zun008.JPG" (dated 20/05/2001, so from the pre-EoSD era). The English translated version is from the wiki: Translated Name: Blonde Shrine Maiden From a Future Era I wanted to draw a "poster shrine maiden." My original concept was to truly draw a sultry, adult-looking shrine maiden for once. No, really. (^^; But it turned out to be a young girl. (lol) It's just that since I was drawing a poster girl, I wanted something that would grab and entice with vivid colors and a subtle expression on the girl. But I guess it's a pointless picture. (^^; As seen, apparently ZUN wanted to represent a mature-looking character. However, it ended up looking much younger than planned. Since that is old, quite possibly outdated information, has he managed to improve on that? Can he now finally draw an adult character, or he is pretty much defined into the style that defines him and his work?

I rolled like 200 times on the Alice banner so far, my seal crystals went under the 1000 mark, nothing. No signs of her at all. I got baited several times by the loading screen. Edit: I wasted 600GC now, I got Tewi, Komachi and Mystia. I hate my life.
