I suppose I could post something here.
This is where most of my stuff will be found here. I'll try to keep most of them Touhou-related since I'm skeptical on whether posting non-Touhou content is allowed. Is there a way to keep this thread without stretching the page? I want to post my drawings and music while keeping it short and simple rather than it being long and a bit jarring.
I hope you enjoy this little hub!

Programs I use for my music:
-0CC-FamiTracker; this is the one I commonly used for most NES/Famicom chiptune covers
-OpenMPT; for non-chiptune music, also my alternative to FL Studio since the latter is quite resource-intensive on my old laptop.

Art:
-A Cirno drawing because I was really bored that time.

-A mugshot of Reisen. I haven't drawn in a while, and I need to draw something decent because my old profile picture from other sites/forums didn't look good.

Music:
-An NES MMC5 rearrangement of Suika Ibuki's IaMP theme. This one is bound to have inaccuracies since it's tedious to make the song sound full without using arpeggios and sacrificing certain polyphonies.

-NES 2-N163 rearrangement of Suika Ibuki's SWR theme. This time it's for my birthday, since I don't really know how to celebrate it.

-Three birthday presents in one month, huh? This one is special, though. So much sound chips were used because the song is so complex to cover. x_x

-NES/Famicom VRC7 cover of Sanae's theme from MoF. I tried to do something a bit different from my usual covers by making this PC-98-esque. I didn't try to make it too close to the intended music style since it would make the process less fun, so I made a few deviations from it that would make it different but still good.

-A rearrangement of the Zero Space Stage 2 theme from Mega Man X5 and Reisen's theme from IN/PoFV in the style of the Mega Man classic games. The similarities between the two are more of a meme than anything, but I can't help but think how those two will combine. I think it works quite well.

-Cover of stage 1 from Touhou 16 in the style of the PC-98 games, but for the Sega Genesis instead. This took me 3-4 days mostly because of the atrocious sound mixing on the drums.

-SEGA Genesis cover of Septette for the Dead Princess. Finally got around to actually making the YM2608 drum samples sound acceptable in the SEGA PCM, and ZUN's FM patches are quite fitting for this song.

welcome!
there aren't any rules about needing to keep content touhou related, though that's mostly what we get/expect

if you want to keep your posts lean, then the best way would be to post only the links to the art instead of making it display in the post.
the cirno looks pretty cute in a simple and refreshing sort of way.

Ah, thanks for clearing things up. I appreciate it.

New cover. Suika's theme from SWR. (Broken Moon) It's a bit tedious to cover ZUN's works by ear, but I really enjoy making these.

Happy belated birthday to ZUN! This took me 3 days to finish because of how incredibly tedious this was to cover. My god, those inaudible bass notes and tempo changes.

I nearly forgot this thread, and I've done an average amount of stuff that I haven't shared yet in here. My apologies lol

The links will be listed from oldest to newest.

The asymmetrical eyes make her look so derp.

The Jealous Witch did nothing wrong.

oh nice another post

SEGA Genesis cover of Septette for the Dead Princess. Finally got around to actually making the YM2608 drum samples sound acceptable in the SEGA PCM, and ZUN's FM patches are quite fitting for this song.

Alright, 2 weeks later after Redditaisai, I finally decided to update this thread again.

This is the first start for my album series, "Touhou FC-98 Chronicles". It's my entry for Redditaisai 2017, and I really enjoyed making this.

Taken from the YouTube description:
"Touhou FC-98 Chronicles is a collective name for my album in which its goal is to arrange all PC-98 Touhou tracks composed by ZUN in the Famicom's chiptune format (with expansion sound chips included). It aims for authenticity, fullness, and accuracy (and improvisation in certain tracks to fit in with the Famicom's limitations). This album series will contain 5 volumes, with each volume featuring tracks from their respective games in order. (VOL. I is HRtP, VOL. II is SoEW, and so on.) Possible release dates for each volume are for Redditaisai events each year."
