@kanase-sakurada If this post really is a second-party source, then it needs a URL in the source field. If you extracted it from the game, you need to remove that tag and add self-datamine instead.

@Blank_User @閃術兵器
I have in the source that it's a press asset (GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE 4th Anniversary KV press asset), which is it's origin, aka, something sent to press for use in articles/websites/etc. Assets sent to press are often the highest quality versions available, sometimes even coming as PSD files.

Press assets are considered second-party sources as they're supplied by the game developers/publishers, so it's not a game asset either. I can't add a URL as it's not distributed through public means, and even the official press distributor says not to credit or reference them when using assets, so I can't provide a source other than "press asset". Sorry about that.

Oh, okay. I brought up self-datamine because game apps will sometimes have assets like that and it wasn't clear to me whether you meant you got it from the press or it was just used for that purpose. Though it does raises questions (that I know you might not be able to answer) about how you were even able to obtain something like that in the first place.

This ship and entire au is genuinely ruining my life.
There has not been a day since almost a month ago in which I was not thinking of these two; how sad their story could be? Is? Will be? Depends, who knows what the future holds. I know it ends well (aside from the wretched minds of a few madmen whom I will not name, but have commented on previously on here).

Fuck, I guess I really have a soft spot for love stories, though I haven't felt this much for a fictional couple for almost a decade.

Why am I writing this on an anime/porn forum?

@lotus_flame If you upload a WebP from Newgrounds, just ask for a replacement instead of resaving it yourself like this to force it into PNG format. The trick is that when you have a direct image link, you can change the ".webp" in the URL to either PNG or JPG and whichever of these resolves is the original non-WebP. There are only a few cases where you should be resaving like Vips errors or lossy-lossless stitching together thumbnail collages.

I dunno why this Aunn caused so much ire in the dumb section of Western Touhou fans

Because this doesn't feel like Aunn. Would be fine if it was just Aunn with her usual clothing and a bigger bust, but sexy Aunn, maybe not.

I don't know if I'd say the issue is it doesn't feel like Aunn. I'd almost argue the opposite: It kinda feels too much like Aunn for me.

Eternity, Piece, and Nue all looked like their normal versions grown up. They seemed like their tastes and demeanour significantly matured in that time too, and so it wasn't just something that could be one-to-one'd. I can't see regular nue looking like post #9351737, for example, and it's hard to imagine piece or Eternity Larva's grown-up forms in anything closer to their canon outfits.

This feels a lot more like a straight sexed-up version of the character, with not much greater thought going into it. There's far less interesting details put into the design beyond just giving her curves. It's not older Aunn, it's just Aunn But Bigger, when they've proven they can do a lot more with these concepts. Not helping matters is that Aunn can be very easily seen as being around Reimu's age, and even some cases where Aunn's drawn to similar body types as this without being meant to be seen as more mature than canon. so she really needed to be brought to something closer to the Nue and Eternity skins to feels matured, compared to this which is more Clownpiece level.

A lot more could have gone into the design to distinguish her from the base; a different base outfit to suggest a changed outlook, a different hairstyle, a different demeanour. Could have had her adopt a look closer to what an actual shrine's assistant or guardian would wear, or even go the other direction and give her something like a bikini top and shorts look a la one piece's Nami. You could genuinely make it sexier and still have it feel less lazy, if you use that sexiness as a compliment to a more thoughtful mature redesign. This is just Aunn with her tits and horns scaled up.

Truth nuke! In my own opinion, I would have her hairstyle to be in swirls, maybe that's just me, but I would think she looks cuter with swirly hair.

Aunn is meant to be more like a fluffy friend. This version of Aunn (A16& Aunn) looks more like those carwash girls who appear in movies from the 70's and 80's.

Even though I'm not familiar(yet) with his work, I really agree with what Anon said. Just from what I have seen from Tsukushi, (5 or 6 drawings so far) he is very meticulous when it comes to detail. I imagine he tries not to focus too much on one thing, and rather pays equal attention to the whole piece, giving it an overall even look.
