A few years back, I was in a Touhou doujin group based in Japan. We would draw our Touhous very often, whether it is paint-chatting or posting them on pixiv and blogs. We would compile our works in form of artbooks and various merchandises, actively participating in various events such as Reitaisai and Comiket. Eventually our leader had finished his tertiary education in art, and set out to secure a steady job. That was when things started to change. He kept talking about "quitting" Touhou, as in, drawing and producing original content during his free time instead of Touhou. He was the first to stop drawing the Touhous. He had a good reason, that original artworks help to add on to our resume, whereas fan art doesn't. He also wanted to explore his creativity and make his own characters instead. As much as we did share his sentiments, we kept reminding ourselves that we started out due to this one reason: yes, we do love drawing but the passion towards Touhou was what brought us together. After that, we did not draw our Touhous that often anymore. We did not even make new artbooks for a whole year. Our leader left the group; the rest of us stuck together, saying that we would like to continue with this Touhou shit. But we didn't really mean it. As we near graduation from our college/institution, pretty much none of us drew Touhous anymore. Our pixiv and blogs were filled with original designs instead. We realised that art was the main thing that we pursue, and Touhou was something that happens to pass by. Our last Touhou artbook was on Comiket 80. Since then, the group disbanded and we were scattered away. I am only in contact with one ex-comrade, and she is pretty much over Touhou, heck, she doesn't even draw anymore. As for me, I was graduated from an arts course, and found a relevant job, so I still draw and paint actively. But not Touhous. Even so, I'm glad Touhou is strong in /jp/, I enjoy hanging out here and reminiscing the old times.

I made one just now, admittedly I'm a bit new to using Mediafire for anything else than private mirrors once in a while. I also only recently got an account.

It's here;
http://www.mediafire.com/?42krqa4klcg74

It's mostly C81, but also the PC-98 albums I uploaded before, and some old stuff.

As for uploads, that's all for today.
Good night /jp/.

I gambled and I lost.
