New banner and avatar

Alvin-kun aka Rarutos was so kind as to make me a new banner after the old one no longer fit the template I chose. I must say, his work exceeded my expectations ^o^.
As a bonus, he also made me an avatar which I found really beautiful, simple, but beautiful. Of course the images were taken from doujin style, where Touhou reigns. XD



For those who don't know, my banner and avatar are based on the Touhou Project, a series of games that are curtain fire/rapid shooting in which you evade patterns of bullets that can number in the hundreds while attempting to kill various bosses. It helps that the graphics are insanely beautiful and they have really cute characters. My banner's character is Hakurei Reimu, a main character of the series, and my avatar is Youmu Konpaku, my favorite character. The picture below is an example of a stage in a touhou game(Imperishable Night) where the pretty light things are the bullets you have to dodge X_X.





*note* this pattern took me forever to get used to and beat it without using more than 2 bombs.See that girl at the bottom of the screen? Yea, you're her and you have to dodge the bullets and defeat the freak who actually shoots these patterns.


The next picture is another but with a more defined pattern that is easier to play.


So for any who are curious, try Touhou, it's a really fun game and a good way to kill time if you are bored. It also has some really good soundtracks which make repeating levels worth it.
