>Is ZUN a good character designer?
Art is ZUN's weakest stat and design being an extension of that, being generous, he's "average". You could take almost any character design he does, put it into some other game or anime, and I don't think it'd turn any heads. But because it's touhou, and touhou is popular, anything he does people will like. It's not the designs themselves, it's the series they're in. Anyone on here could draw some OC touhou (and many frequently do) only for it to get trashed on but I guarantee if ZUN himself drew it people would be all over it.

What I will say though is that he's very consistent. A 2hu that's drastically more plain or embellished than the others is hard to come by, and that's a plus. It's not that he's a good character designer, it's just that the overall look and feel of the series is well maintained, and incongruous elements that clash with everything else are rare.

i mostly draw 2hus but ended up being quick shitty doodles
