cute drawings
the problem is, no one can read moon here

>>17788257

>A friend of mine
Sure... A "friend" of yours.

日本語でおｋ

>SDM but also Koishi
Talk about low-hanging fruit.

>>17788265
Be honest, how long had you been saving a reaction image in japanese about not understanding chinese just for this day to come.
No lying.

>>17788220
I can't even moon and I can tell the story is boring.
The art is pretty shit too.

But I guess being shit is the first step to not being shit, and at least your "friend" actually went and did it. Wish "him" good luck.

I like your work, OP. Don't let these mean spirited individuals keep you down from achieving your dreams.

Yeah, good job!

I support my creative /jp/s

Maybe one day I'll post my own doujinshi on /jp/...
I'll start next week

>>17788481
It's not a particularly interesting story but it's cute enough and Flandre and the SA team always sell. As far as art goes people sell much worse at events.

>>17788421
10% of people to this day are still living in a world where UFO doesn't exist. I think they're stuck in a time loop.

I'm really not the artist.
Even if I would try really hard, I couldn't draw that well.
I just wanted to collect positive feedback but as well fair critique for him.
He worked really hard the last weeks and I think it's the least I can do to help him.

It looks cute but I'm just tired of seeing the SDM, anyway OP tell your friend he did a good job

Hello! I am an aspiring artist working on my first doujinshi! I'm debating what kind of doujinshi it should be at the moment. Should I explore the backstory of some hitherto unexplored character? Or perhaps I could come up with a hypothetical scenario following one of the games, but with a drastic, yet plausible, change in the plot? Or maybe, just maybe, I could depict the daily lives of some intriguing, but rarely seen characters, such as Yuuka, Sekibanki, the Tsukumo sisters or Nitori!

Wait! Scratch that! I'm just going to take the most popular characters and have some generic comedy shenanigans. Please buy my book!

>>17788220
That's very nice, though tell him to practice on the naked bodies, they look kinda stiff, I'm not sure why I get this impression though.

>>17788453

i'm gonna go with 10 months, 24 days, 18 hours, 3 minutes and 35 seconds

Seems pretty cute OP. Can't read it but I like the art. Perhaps a little over-reliance on the chibi bodies but that will improve with time.

You should be proud of your friend for working hard. It is a good start. Encourage him to keep improving! I will always support creative /jp/sies

Where is he releasing it? Remember you can't sell digital copies of doujins per ZUN's rules but physical is fine.

>Wait! Scratch that! I'm just going to take the most popular characters and have some generic comedy shenanigans. Please buy my book!

But that's a reasonable stance to take when publishing your first book. You can build an audience by doing something with mainstream appeal and then do the other more original ideas you mentioned when people have their eyes on you

>But that's a reasonable stance to take when publishing your first book.
It's not. There are dozens, hundreds of doujinshi just like this one. It isn't unique. It's not original. It won't sell but for those collectors who absolutely need everything incorporating the SDMs, or just everything Touhou, period. To stand out in the area of wacky Touhou comedy, you need either very good art, or a truly bizarre sense of humour like Bombergrape's.

This one is a drop in the sea of near-identical Touhou doujinshi. Is that the height of this artist's creativity? If so, I don't care, and neither will anyone who's been in the fandom for more than a year. Good job.

If I were to see these in a booth during a con, first thing that comes up in my mind will be "Oh just another SDM doujin" and proceed to ignore it

Flandre looks like shinki.

I read it. Like others said, nothing special, but enjoyable enough. Good job and congratulations.

>>17788220
>him
How cute is he?

I like it so far, OP! It's a fun read!
Tell your friend to keep up the hard work!

>>17789646
not him anon, but replying seems more appropriate
the case is: I thought doujins were supposed to be about anything your heart likes, exploring your own strengths, and (very important) To Have Fun.

>>17788220
>>17788600
It looks nice and all, but it's non-h, which doesn't really hold much interest for me personally.

Tell him to draw porn next time.

>>17789646
>To stand out
>This one is a drop in the sea of near-identical Touhou doujinshi

So? Why does it need to stand out? Like >>17789926 said just draw whatever the hell you feel like drawing.
It doesn't need to be special or stand out from all the others, if he wants to draw a SDM doujinshi, just let him.

>>17788759
All the information is at the bottom, last page.

>Remember you can't sell digital copies of doujins per ZUN's rules

Where did you even get this idea from?
I mean yeah, just look at all those digital Touhou doujins you're not allowed to sell, being sold.

Nonsense.

>>17788220
Looks okay but involves characters I give not a shit about

>>17790890
>Why does it need to stand out?

I like it, pretty nice for a first one.
As it was said above, naked bodies look kinda weird though.

>>17791085
Well maybe if the frog wasn't standing out it wouldn't have gotten frozen, now would it?

Not bad. It's no Sakuraba Yuuki S+ Doujn Works but it's pretty good for a first timer. Comfy read. Doesn't fan canon too much which is definitely nice.

Is your friend able to speak English? What are their next plans?

>>17791209
He can speak a bit english, yes. But only single words or phrases.
I planned to either show him the thread later or just pick out some responses and show it to him and translated it for him.

From what he has told me, he plans to go sell the comic on the upcoming convention tomorrow, after that take a break for a few days. His original deadline was on the 11th but he didn't made it as his original plan of 30 pages got extended to 45.

I think I'll talk with him the next time on Monday.

This guy looks promising.

It looks nice but I'm not a fan of the SDM. People should do more with the currently relevant characters in all honesty.

OP tell us how cute he is

A little update.

There was a storm over Osaka today, the event wasn't very filled and he is stuck on the airport right now.

>>17796116
Ah, that's right Kouroumu is held at Osaka.
Only a few days after autumn Reitaisai too, so obviously it won't be as crowded.

He thanks all of you very much for the nice words and feedback. Let me quote him here directly.

"ありがとうございます。まだまだ未熟ですけどこれからも漫画を描いていこうと思います。応援よろしくお願いします"

"Thank you very much. I'm still young and I like to keep drawing doujins in the future."

>>17789872
>>17791768
He says he looks like a mexican wrestler.

/jp/ is not a suitable place to ask for honest opinion. /jp/ can be nice but is also full of mean people.
Leave before you get hurt!

I'm a simple man. I see boobs I like.

Doesn't look that bad.

Wish he drew in the fangs once in a while though.

>>17788220
>no backgrounds

K-Kubo?

>>17788257
何ですか

Everything is so stiff and the writing is pretty boring. Its a tropefest

I looked through his Pixiv and saw this. If he draws Aniki he's good in my books

>>17799960

Tell him to make his next doujin about ballbusting.
