It's gotten worse, really. UFO wasn't too bad, but MoF and SA are the worst in the series.

>> No.5394407

You can actually see some improvement on the chart, at least from EoSD to IN.

Then, IDK what happened. He got lazy.

PoFV is IN-teir, MoF is okay except for the player portraits (God what). And then there's SA, where everyone looked off, Parsee being the only exception.

>> No.5394408

He knows his fans will draw better versions in the first place, so he doesn't give a damn

Compare the UFO characters to well, all others. How can you say he hasn't improved?

Marisa now is the best drawn character, shut up.

Because he changes most Touhous game-to-game. Look at how Aya's evolved. However, most of the Touhous are used once or twice, and not again.

Whoever drew this was really good at imitating ZUN's style.

>> No.5394500

Does anyone have some of those sketches that showed that ZUN could draw decently if he took his time instead of rushed it? I think they were in one of his newest interviews.

dude look at that shoe... just because you add frills and large angular clothing all over a character does not make it good.. it's like people who draw hands behind their characters so they don't have to draw them.

He's getting worse. I don't like the way he drew the eyes in 12.

Keep in mind that ZUn is drubnk 24/7 and that shoe looks fine to me.

>> No.5394520

ZUN could draw better, but the art is not important enough to spend his time with before the deadline. Did you notice how he didn't draw sprites for his bosses and instead scaled his character portraits to sprite size?
He isn't opposed to working with other artists either.
Why do you think PoFV and StB have actual (good) character sprites?

>>5394414
changing outfits is good
drawing the exact same outfit again is harder than drawing a new one.

He still has trouble with the size of eyes from sides. When you look at the eyes of Sakuya and then the first Nazrin pic in OP, there is no sign of improvement. Depth doesn't work that way, ZUN.

His art style is loved by some, but even if it isn't, there's plenty of fanon derivatives to compensate.

EoSD : Baseline for analysis.

PCB: I liked the art in PCB. It was better than EoSD in every way, what with no Remilia gang-signs and Sakuya's deformed face.

IN/PoFV: The art in IN and PoFV was softer and more uniform than PCB. Definite improvements all around.

MoF: Generally the same style with a little more flair and personality. Honestly, this was my favorite period of ZUN art.

SA/UFO: A step back in my opinion. A lot of good portraits, but just as many cases of weird fucking proportions and anatomy.

ZUN starts his development of a Touhou game, starts drinking, wakes up the night of his release date with a hangover and a completed game and no memory of how it got there, and then quickly scrawls some portraits together on a handkerchief, scans them, and uploads them.

Simple answer:

He isn't drinking enough.

Actually I find UFO Reimu to be ZUNs first really good piece of art. She actually looks kinda cute.

>> No.5395393

He models them after what he sees in his delirium tremens.
