Took me many days to complete this. It was supposed to be the sprite for my Touhou fan game, Audra Project. It’s quite an unconventional sprite for Touhou, I want to keep my style as it is.

Touhou Project is a bullet-hell vertically-scrolling 2D arcade shooter series, developed by Junyu Ota (ZUN). ZUN has been developing his game series mostly alone starting from the late 90s, publishing as an independent creator circle (Doujin) ‘Team Shanghai Alice’. Thousands of spin-off projects have been created, mostly by doujins and other indie creators around the world. In 2013, Touhou Project was listed into the Guinness World Records as ‘The most prolific shooter series ever made’. (Wikipedia) (Touhou wiki)

In Touhou legendarium, Reimu Hakurei is the main protagonist of the Touhou Project. She is a shrine maiden serving the Hakurei Shrine. She is devoted to beat any evil spirit that dares to block her way. (https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Reimu_Hakurei)
