Well it was uploaded a few days ago so it’s kinda old news now, but I’m gonna post it anyway. Another awesome musical danmaku video by Winn!
In other news, I think I’m gonna take a break from making daily flashes for awhile, because it’s getting kinda hard to come up with ideas for them (it’s hard to come up with interesting real-life based ideas when all I do is stay at home all day). Anyway, I’ll be using that time and effort to focus instead on making some sort of Touhou flash, probably something SWR-related. I don’t know if I’m gonna bother to make walking animations for all the characters, so I might just stick with the still-image-with-a-wavy-walking-path animation from the old flashes.
No, it’s not a new Touhou flash. Well, not yet, anyway. I don’t actually have any ideas at this moment, but I’ve decided to redraw the characters to make them more organized and actually animated. In the flashes, Meiling’s (And Marisa’s) create.swf-ish style doesn’t really go well with the other characters in my opinion, and the scale for the different characters don’t really match up well, so I decided I might as well just redraw some characters so they fit together nicely and so the image quality of each character is about the same. And I might as well give them walking animations too, rather than making a still image move around in a wavy path.
Anyhow, here’s the first two redrawings: Reimu and Marisa. There are some characters who I kinda want to keep the way they are (Specifically Yuyuko, Nitori, and Chen… maybe Yukari and Ran as well; I kinda liked how their graphics turned out), but I guess I’ll just try to make them as similar as possible to the older versions. I might be using these redrawn characters in later flashes, once I get some ideas. Oh yeah, I also upped the framerate to 24 fps (the framerate for Touhou flashes used to be 12), so it’ll probably look a lot smoother too.
Edit (July 4, 2008 @ 1:49PM):
Well, after reading the comments, I’ve decided to just use the old graphics as a starting point this time. Here’s Reimu again, in the old style, with a walking animation. The arms and legs were redrawn, as well as the moving hair/ponytail. The walking animation is a bit weird, but I guess I can figure it out eventually.
