Way too many good artists.

You art stay cool.

You listen Metal while making your own arts at the same time so i guess the effect in your arts is better.

I tough Hane was at least quite popular. She/He need to get some love.



Wait why the art style is so good.

In reality whenever the style, cute or creepy it stay gorgeous.
I have 3 favorite artists.YuJup, Koto Inari, and AzeLye. Aze and Koto make scary art's but YuJup is so cute without with flashy colours.

I will join you obviously (and Sakuya will stop to knife you).
So i will start with Koto Inari.
His arts really changed years by years.
His first art was in 2009 and it's not the Koto we know today, it wasn't scary it was just "normal".
In 2012, his art stay normal but with more details in the characters.
His first horror art was in 2014, it wasn't a Touhou art but it stay cursed.
His last Touhou art was in 2018-2019, after he/she maybe will make others Touhou arts.
Sry if i don't show some samples, i don't know if the artist allow it so for respect i don't show samples.

I included some lesser-known artists, new artists and western artists who deserves more attention.
Some of them have a side account for non-Touhou stuff or their original concept.

It's sad that many of their art (mostly popular artists) get no credits for many time.
Imagine this:
Your art turned into a meme and they didn't give credits to you. Your hard work was ruined.

It's their choice to let no people repost art and I respect that, that's why I rarely show art samples.

Shisido is still active, he just changed his username.
Fixed.

Amazing piece of art: *exists*
Memer: Hmm nice meme material

I saw stolen Touhou arts on some ads so please kill me.
My mutual posted this and I have no words about that ad.

Alright, for those memes and stolen art problems, we'll discuss on another thread.
We can connect to threads and talk about the same topic.

For links, I recommend Twitter and Pixiv.
There are more links but most of them are not used in most places, something like Pawoo (asian side) and Ko-Fi/Mastodon (western side).

NEVER go to Danbooru, artists who don't fit the "trend" or "not mainstream" won't be there and most of the artworks there are NSFW, without warming signs.
On Danbooru, you won't get new artists, darker kind of artists, western artists or artists like me because we are not their kind.

I should add Koto Inari and Banpai Akira on the list because they used to be one of the biggest Touhou artists even if they no longer does it.
Their legacy still live in the hearts of Touhou fans.
