Description
WHEW! Finally done!!This was actually a request by a friend and before I drew this I wasn't that interested in Touhou BUT -- NOW I'M NUTS ABOUT TOUHOU, thanks a lot BRAD.
About the piece itself, a lot of people have said that she's scary looking but I think it's mostly due to her doll-like eyes. I've also decided to remove her wings for the purpose of this piece - I thought it was a little tacky in comparison to the rest of the picture if I did include it (SORRY REMI FANS!)
I learned a lot from this piece especially with backgrounds etc. and also notice the overkill on textures xD
EDIT - Added wings because... SHE'S NOT REMILIA WITHOUT WINGS
Time: Countless hours on SAI / Photoshop

I very much like how this looks just like the kind of picture you'd see in a formal painting on the mansion wall. It has the same slightly dark, placid appearance as those "creepy house" paintings in movies.
The wings meld very well with the rest of the picture; I think adding them was fine here. I think her flat doll-eyes work great to add just enough of an inhuman feel to her appearance, and the rich reds in her clothing accents are great and also work well with the eyes.

Dannngg...this is excellent...
It reminded me of Castlevania for some reason, haha...At least, I could see some Castlevania characters painted with this exact same style. Looks awesome.

Really, really nicely done. The atmosphere is really creepy, and the dark tone makes it more so.

Very nice! shame about the corruption ay.. unless you fixed it. hmm, I prefer wingless.. but then again I'm not really familiar with this character or game. Keep pics rolling!
