All the recent Tojiko talk made me realize that I completly forgot to post this one I drew right before I started using this site more

"Is your reflection that of a magician?

Or is it still just a human?"

Day 1 - Ambition

Alice Margatroid holding her grimoire to her chest, standing in front of a mirror-like magical oval shape but looking away from it with a stern expression. Patchouli Knowledge looms over behind her holding one of her books open, glaring straight ahead to where Alice isn't looking.

A feeling she can't put into words 🌙🌈

Read left to right ➡️

First panel: Alice and Patchouli sitting in silence on Patchouli's bed.

Second Panel: Alice thinks "What's the big idea?! She told me she had to tell me something in private in her room, but we've been in silence for 15 minutes!"

Third panel: Alice begins to leave, says "Ah, I just remembered I had something to do, sorry!" and thinks "My tolerance for awkwardness is bled dry."

Fourth panel: Alice begins to leave, says "If you'll excuse me...". The following two panels show Patchouli's hand reaching out and Alice's reaction.

The second to last panel has Patchouli say "Wait..." and the final panel shows Patchouli grabbing Alice's sleeve with a conflicted embarassed expression.

First panel: Patchouli's expression turns sour and hard to read, "Look, I..."

Second panel: two pairs of human and youkai lovers are shown, Patchouli's narration says "I... have never cared about 'love', 'romance' or whatever you call it. I just thought of it as something for humans to fulfill their short lives and for youkai to appease their boredom."

Third panel: Alice looks stunned, Patchouli says offscreen "And since I don't need any of that, I saw it as something beneath me, but..."

Fourth panel: A flashback of Alice fighting against Patchouli in a spell card duel, Patchouli's narration says "Then you came into my life. For a long time I just saw you as an annoyance, some toymaker with delusions of grandeur."

Fifth panel, shows a flashback of Alice and Patchouli happily talking with each other. Patchouli's narration continues, "But you kept coming here, we kept arguing, we kept fighting, and everytime I felt like I enjoyed your presence more. You stood firm in your convictions, you talked back to me and engaged with what I said like nobody else did. I... started to look forward to seeing you."

First panel: Alice is blushing, says "Patchouli..." and Patchouli keeps speaking, "I don't know if this is what people call 'love'."

Second panel: A close up of Patchouli, her cheeks visibly red, and she says "I have never felt this way before, I just..."

Third panel: A POV shot of Patchouli from Alice's perspective, showing Patchouli slightly looking away and blushing with a tender expression, saying "I just know that right now, I really... really want to be by your side."

Fourth panel: Alice is shown visibly lovestruck, her heart skipping a beat.

More crumbs, even

(I first write the dialogue on a text document and then just sort of vibe out how much space I think it'll take with squiggles lol)

Very rough storyboard of Alice thinking to herself, saying "screw it" and then saying something else which surprises Patchouli.

Decided I want to make up for the lack of ship art for the last 6 months so, uh, working on a thing

A very rough abstract doodle of Alice fidgeting.

Been a while since I drew her and a drawpile gave me a good excuse (also with pants)

Alice Margatroid from Touhou Project posing menacingly by crossing her arms and pulling from the various puppeteer strings tied to her fingers, glaring at the viewer. To her side is the Shanghai Doll, carrying a buster sword. They're both wearing pants instead of their usual skirts.

Happy Alice day! I don't got new art ready so here's a bunch of previous art I still like

#7月16日はアリスの日

Alice's PC-98 rendition alongside her Windows rendition. The former is using her Grimoire to cast a spell while the latter looks at hers with uncertainty.

Alice wearing a frillier version of her usual dress.

Alice being greeted by Marisa in the Forest of Magic in the middle of a snowy winter.

Alice with part of her face breaking off as if it was porcelain, revealing a dark void with several eyes glowing inside of it.

I was actually undecided on this for the longest time, I drew a whole bunch of haircuts at one point just to try them out

In the end I settled for somethinga kin to the wavy hair ZUN draws her with, but a bit fluffier and with more volume. Kind of a messy-ish look to it

The way I draw Alice's haircut most of the time

I don't bring it up often but if you're curious about browsing my art, the best place to do so is my Newgrounds gallery!

I've been posting art there since 2018 so there's old stuff here that has otherwise been lost in old deleted socials blurmarsh.newgrounds.com
