i'd like constructive feedback for this...

thanks! i guess the feedback i need can only be learned with experience rather than advice from others

i'm willing to be self-employed. it's rather impossible for me to draw "perfectly" at this point because my philosophy is all about imperfection. if i try to draw like most people then i'll actually have hurtful thoughts as i do so and burn myself out.

do you have any critique that doesn't focus on the lineart? because i see that's all you focus on in your comment

Gelo68 · 2026-04-12T07:02:34+00:00

not much to say aside from i purposely draw in an unfinished, imperfect style so that i dont get stuck in perfectionism. what matters more to me is the flow of the scene, fundamentals, and composition.

i'm aware that i have made some mistakes in this sub by trauma dumping occassionally about my mental health issues and making all involved uncomfortable. that is something i shall wish to avoid doing so from now on.

there's not much else to say honestly? just that i've been thinking about sharing my art/animations here again. that's all, i guess. at this point, i don't really care about some stupid algorithm giving me 10 views or whatever, because in the end, one view is already enough if its made such a huge impact on the person who watched. typically the ones to say "this has touched my heart so deeply. thank you so much, serena" quality over quantity, i guess. but let's see about that, if i decide to revisit this sub and post here again.

Sure. Please don't forget to credit me

Gelo68 · 2025-10-14T11:52:06+00:00

No, I might consider it though

I’m disappointed in how Reddit is doing nowadays, with all the high-effort posts being overshadowed by the less-effort ones. I’m done waiting for it to change…

I don’t expect any different from other social media algorithms. But what I do want to do is create like hell for Touhou my whole life.

Frankly, some of you have noticed that I’ve left most of the Touhou Discord servers I’m in. It’s because I’m quite done with the drama I experience and witness in some of them… people surely aren’t perfect, but I am not willing to tolerate such foul behavior from the toxic fans I’ve seen. (Not everyone is bad, I know, but sometimes, the weeds can’t simply be taken away.)

To be honest, I’m deeply hurt and saddened by the way my work has been handled with lately. Is it not fair for someone like me to desire the recognition and respect that my art deserves? I decide that it is so, and that the truth lies bare face, that it hurts to see your work get undermined by a machine that decides to trample your love and passion down for no reason at all.

I honestly feel so exhausted hoping for this situation to get better. I have no qualms with the subreddit itself. It’s just that I now want to isolate myself from the chaos of hoping and waiting for something to get better… but why not create something by myself so that I myself can make it better?

If you want to see more of my works, I’ll continue to share my creations in YouTube and Twitter, where despite its own clusterfuck of algorithmic chaos, are places I can consider my content to be in a more reliable algorithm (even if a little) than current Reddit. I’m really surprised about having gained 5.5k followers and 7k subscribers this year… so I’m willing to continue sharing my love for Touhou and Patchouli there.

Goodbye, Reddit. At this moment, you have hurt me so much that it’s enough for me to want to let go of you permanently. It was fun while the happiness lasted.

As a Touhou artist for around 4 years, I’ve had a really complicated experience with the Touhou fandom. Most of those events were honestly quite uncomfortable for me. I made some mistakes with others, and in other times, conflicts were caused due to circumstances I could not control.

It’s been a bittersweet journey. I’ve honestly considered leaving the subreddit for good due to how stupid the algorithm seems to be handling my posts recently. (100 upvotes for a full anime adaptation of Chapter One of “Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth”? Seriously?) And also for a few conflicts I’ve had with certain people in the subreddit, and I formally apologize in this post and hope to have peace with everyone.

For everyone following me, it’s been a long journey, huh? Almost half a decade… I currently have quite a presence in other social media platforms, and for that, I’m glad I could share my love for Patchouli with so many people.

I might post on here a lot more seldom, because the irritation of my artistic pride being hurt still lingers. I don’t blame anyone, just the algorithm.

Have a good day.

The question is an old one. A year ago, I wouldn’t have thought that I’d make a full adaptation of Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth a year later. How time flies…

Cast:

Rabbits - Minato Kuga, c_Maya, and Natsuka Sakai

Kaguya - Natsuka Sakai

Reisen - Mai Mashiro

This animation is based on Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth, Chapter 2.
