Artist's commentary
In your arms, thinking I belonged
(Yes, the title is totally a reference to one of my favourite ABBA songs.)
A piece for c0lb0h, who commissioned a scene depicting the desolation Suwako feels in the shadow of Kanako.
This wasn't nearly as embarrassing as the commissioner might've initially feared - I enjoy all interpretations of the Touhou canon, and the old goddess of the Moriya shrine feeling for the loss of her kingdom and beloved priestess in one fell swoop to the goddess of war: it's not at all inconceivable. I thought the emotions in the scene asked for were deep, and did my best to bring it to life.
I also must thank c0lB0h for making my first ever commission a very pleasant experience. <=] You have my gratitude for entrusting me with this.
And in a shameless plug to my dear friend and other commissioning creative artist, please check out the following Suwako x Sanae fic by hoshigumadouji, by the same commissioner. hoshigumadouji.deviantart.com/art/COMMISSION-The-Beautiful-Things-Sanae-x-Suwako-438449765
