Shrine Maiden of Paradise

"The Hakurei clan has protected Gensokyo and the outside world for many centuries through the border. Now the border has been breached, and it is my duty as a blood member of the Hakurei clan to maintain the balance between humans and youkai...and create a world where peace between humans and youkai reigns supreme over all!"

Fanart of Reimu Hakurei, the Shrine Maiden of Paradise, from the Touhou project.

This is a fan concept made for my own Touhou Fan Project entitled "Dimensional Crossroads".

I've been through very tough times...a lot of trouble...with blood, sweat, and tears flowing out of me...

But at last. I've done it. My newest digital piece.

This is my own fanmade concept of everyone's favorite shrine maiden, Reimu. I drew inspiration from ZUN's original concept art and traditional Japanese style...with Lolita elements integrated within the design. It was hard trying to conceptualize...I've scrapped a lot of concepts before settling with this final concept.

And, I haven't been able to provide a suitable background...because I'm not that good when it comes to backgrounds. (So if you can help me, go ahead)

I can't really say much about this piece. Though I've been practicing with a new style, I don't like how this turned out.
