Just some Artwork done for some animation and pixel art I did for fun. -W-

1. Tsubaki - Artemis Wept Oohh, those bells at the beginning~ They sound really nostalgic. Oh man, I really did not expect that this is gonna be a death metal-esque? song, especially those male vocals. I expected to song to be kinda chill, with female vocals, of which I was only right about the latter. It's a unique song, I like it, but ig the death metal vocals kind of dilute the song for me? I don't really like them. I like how the song sounds wintery tho, and the female vocals are amazing. 7.5/10 2. Lycoris - Hammersmith in the Sky Alrighty, time for this one.. I'll write the review as I'm listening to it. Ooooh yeah, rock. I really like this so far. The slow intro, the 4 by 4 beat, the bass. It has a cozy feeling! And then the Greenich theme hit with the organ sounding instrument. Real nice! The phasers are awesome as well ehehehe I just wish it kinda changed in structed, and not stayed similar. But the mental image the song gives me is great! A recording studio with red and orange colors, pretty cozy! 8/10 3. MA's ATTACK - Hartmann's Youkai Girl Hah, I kept giggling through all your comments about this song , but I do kinda admit that maybe it's weird to post this in a remix tournament? Idk /shrug Anyways, how do I rate this without being biased, since it's one of my fav Touhou arranges? I really like this song, it reminds me of some Silent Hill tracks, the one that especially comes to mind is "Alone in the Town", from Silent Hill 2. I guess that it can get a bit repetitive, but to me, what I like to do with an ambient song is just put it in the background while drawing, or hanging out. There are rare time where I do put this to *actively* listen to it, and it's usually when it's snowing or like in 2 in the morning , so yeah. It's a very nostalgic sound for me, ever since I knew about myself, I'd love songs that are like this. Now to grade it... hm. Well, as I'm trying to stay unbiased, and judge it as if it's my first time listening to it, I'd rate this one also an 8/10, or maybe an 8.5/10. It can get repetitive, like I said, but the sound and feeling is what matters to me the most.

I took an unannounced month hiatus; between house re-org and work events, I needed the extra time. M8 - Sad Doll ~ Waltz of Misery I'm using the specific arranger's alias rather than the circle name because I can't find a proper translation (something like "Statue Sculptor"). For the piece itself: I always appreciate a piano arrangement that goes farther than the all-too-common melody transcription, even if it's just a creative accompaniment. Transposing it into a waltz, especially a more discordant track such as this, is a wonderful bonus. Conagusuri - Phantom I wonder sometimes if my preferences in music are too evident in what I choose to feature; not because there's anything wrong with that, but because I try to find unique sounding tracks. I would consider this to be among my more unique discoveries. Arts&Sounds:Utopia - Legendary Illusion ~ Infinite Being I've always struggled with this piece; I can hear a great deal of potential in its motifs, but the progression always seems to be lacking. Thus far, the best remix I've heard is the Pocket Wars version from the first remix tournament; for this feature, I wanted to find something else if possible. This one has a great buildup into the main piece, and the interlude goes a long ways to improving the overall progression. I still think it could stand a bit more "punch," though (also not a fan of the fade-out ending as a general rule).
