Drsunshine said: Also here are some quick sketches of Mayor Byakuren Hijiri. I went for 80's style wide-padded shoulders for her jacket for no reason other than that I felt it'd look good on her.
The UFO (Universal Friendship Organization) Party swept in during the height of the recession in the aftermath of the danmaku bubble crash, displacing the previous government. They promised fiscal conservatism, job creation, and preached traditional religious and family values.
Though they haven't really delivered, they have stayed in place due to a well-oiled political machine and the seemingly-boundless charisma of their party leader. Dubbed "the Smiler" by Aya Shameimaru for her never-broken serene smile, Mayor Hijiri's true motivations are yet to be seen.
Kumihou said: As someone who can't see Hijiri as anything but evil, I want to see her 'Dark Smile' face, more than anything. As though she's dealing in bribes in the background in secret whilst her followers and supporters are oblivious to the fact.
How is she evil when ZUN said she's a good person?
Kumihou said: I've always seen her as evil, even if ZUN said she's nice (which I won't deny in canon) I myself can't ever see her as anything as evil, that smile. That smile always gives off this: 'I'm better than you look' to me. Sort of a: 'it's always the nice ones' type of look as though she's never really smiling for you, but because of what she's going to do to you. She scares me.
That's highly unreasonable. How did you come to think like that?
That's the charm and the point of it, if you can't appreciate that then the series is not for you. If you don't like touhou for what zun has made it then get out.
Don't try to domineer someone else's project to just make it something you like. That's arrogant and immature. There's plenty of other series around that can pander to whatever interest you have without you needing to piss on other people's parades.
NWSiaCB said: So I see DrSunshine drew Hijiri as a butch whore... My disgust at everything this "artist" does remains unabated.
"Butch whore"? WTF? You do realize she's not actually muscular and she just has puffy wide-shouldered sleeves, right (I am assuming that's where you got the "butch" idea from)?
As for "whore", she's the mayor. She's pretty much one of the major political powers in this setting (likely surpassed only by Yukari and Remilia, and only because they probably have more money). I can't figure out where you got "whore" from unless you mean her make-up.
