character is from the Touhou fangame Shisei Ryuujinroku Plus, also known as Tales of the Four Saint Dragon Gods or Hollow World of God. you can download it here: https://dixq.net/sr/ or if you don't wanna go through japanese text, here: https://doujinstyle.com/?p=page&type=2&id=620

moving on to other touhou fangames! xD i usually find the next games to check out for characters to draw on Touhou wiki and while some fangames have pages there, some don't - like Ryuujinroku! so i just googled up the name for it and i'm so glad that i did because i absolutely love Aisha's design! i was actually thinking of drawing Tensei from Shining Shooting Star in a praying pose but i googled her up and found out that everyone already drew her in that pose!!! that made me crash out a bit and spurred me to seek out other fangames xD

i really do love finding obscure projects that only a handful of people know about - be it in a language i know or don't. there's something beautiful about them, and more often than not i find them connecting deeply with me - aesthetic or story-wise, sometimes both. after all, the less something is aimed at the lowest common denominator the more is the chance of it resonating with you. and better yet if you share it with others! if even one person decides to check out Ryuujinroku after seeing my silly little art i would be immensely happy.
