The Subterranean Rose
==========================================
MAJOR UPDATE
Added roses, vines and shadows on the edges.
It made the image looks crowded, but at the same time we can see just how messed up Koishi's mind is.
The old one is in my scrapbook, you can find it here:

Which one do you prefer guys? I want to hear some opinions~
==========================================
Ah, Koishi, one of the best characters made by ZUN. No, I don't mean appearance-wise, but concept wise!
The fact that her character is built based on the human psyche is what made her very interesting.
Her color schemes are the inverted color of her sister, Satori. Her music theme played almost totally the same when played backwards! and many more!
Well the thing about her is, people tend to depict her differently, some portrayed her as a lovable moe-blob, while others portrayed her as a creepy girl capable of unpredictable things.
This Koishi is the one based on the Koishi Komeiji's Heart-Throbbing Adventure by 洗濯船/Sentakusen.

that video had opened my eyes to how creepy she can possibly be! Well and pretty much fucked up my mind in the process...
Id, is how you say, the primal instinct of human being, like the need to eat, drink, sex etc. So basically, by releasing her Id, Koishi had become....THAT Koishi!
"Hey, hey, Mr.Hat, this guy is making a picture of us~"
"Isn't it nice, Mr. Hat~?"
OH SHI-!
