The Ordinary Witch by SilentSoul

The Ordinary Witch

Description

Due to my obsession, this is Marisa Kirisame!

Marisa Kirisame is a main character of Touhou Project. She is a human magician from the series of vertical danmaku shooter games, and easily one of the most powerful and destructive forces in Gensokyo, the world where she lives. Watch your precious items, she's a kleptomaniac.

I'm rather happy with the way this turned out. I've never really tried to draw a character that I didn't make. Her broom-hand is abit off though.. oh well. "She's gripping the broom too tight, since she doesn't look exactly happy at the moment."

(The apples in the background are not a theme of hers, I just wanted to add apples. However, they are a reference to one of my favorite Touhou songs, Bad Apple!)

SilentSoul on April 28, 2009, 11:57:19 AM

Agreed!

What could you added was stars, a sign of Marisa's attackes. Marisa Kirisame is one main character ( the second )

I like this drawing nice work!

Score: 0 HOW CAN THAT BE???????????????? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SilentSoul on March 2, 2009, 8:34:22 AM

Haha. Thanks. I thought about stars, so that yellow blob behind her is one. However, I didn't want to litter the picture with them, 'cause I thought it was too generic.

Hypersonic102 on March 2, 2009, 11:37:14 AM

Do you think there should me more than two main characters? I hope ZUN will have Alice Margatroid the third.

SilentSoul on March 2, 2009, 11:40:33 AM

I think it's fine with these two main characters. I think Alice and the others should just come up when they're included in the story plot. Although, Alice would probably make a good third character.. but I think ZUN's sticking to human main characters...

Hypersonic102 on March 3, 2009, 6:04:20 AM

Alice looks human, besides her doll attacks she can fly like no other human, Reimu can fly but she's an full human. Alice is near Human atleast.

SilentSoul on March 3, 2009, 11:34:26 AM

True. There's a rumor that she was originally human, but turned into a youkai...

mechadragon13 on February 28, 2009, 7:27:27 AM

wow, she's adorable!! i like it ^^ *fav*

SilentSoul on February 28, 2009, 8:58:57 AM

Haha. Just don't be on the recieving end of her "Master Spark." It puts the Kamehameha to shame.

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 4:58:13 AM

O.O yipes....

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 5:53:26 AM

Yup. I use it in the games. Very. very. scary.

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 5:56:15 AM

i imagine. it must be like the "Ultima" spell in FFX. BAM EXPLODE DIE.

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 6:17:23 AM

I'll see if I can find a picture...

Here you go. Can't get much more original than this. This is from the same game I have...

O.O

..................whoa...... it DOES put the kamehameha to shame....

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 6:33:28 AM

Yup!

And to think, she also has Rainbow Colored Master Spark, and Double Master Spark in her asrsonal as well... don't have the games with those though...

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 6:44:34 AM

.............i respect the witch now........ yipes....

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 6:48:00 AM

Yup. She's a human too, so you've really gotta give her credit. There are very few humans in gensokyo that can even use weak magic, then you see that... >_> I wouldn't want to be one of her enemies...

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 6:49:46 AM

i know, right? why is she an "ordinary" witch?

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 6:55:05 AM

'cause she is the most human-like character in the world where she lives, even though she's a witch. Even the two shrinemaidens, and the human maid that also live there are less human-like than she is.

It was stated by ZUN himself.

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 6:57:13 AM

ah...... ok, i'm not confused anymore ^^

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 7:00:49 AM

Yup. Took me awhile to get it too. There's alot of characters in Touhou..... Why do I always like the series with literally hundreds of main characters?

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 7:06:19 AM

i know, right? XD

why do i always like the series with tons of fancharacters? XD

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 7:08:49 AM

Haha.

I know, ze~
Then after awhile, your obsessions start to get the best of you, ze~

... AUGH!!! Curse Marisa's addictive verbal tick!!!

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 7:28:49 AM

lol se says ze~ after everything?

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 7:42:52 AM

Yup. EVERYTHING. It's a rather fun verbal tick, actually. I rather like it.

mechadragon13 on March 1, 2009, 7:48:56 AM

nice......

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 7:54:52 AM

Yup. ^^

SilentSoul on March 1, 2009, 6:24:26 AM

one more.. you can see it in action.. This is from one of the fighting games... so now you get to see it from both types of games!
