My illustration of Sanae & Reimu, the Shintoist Shrine Maindens

 


My illustration of Sanae & Reimu, the Shintoist Shrine Maindens posted on my pixiv page: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/142161264 

 



I have asked ChatGPT to redraw my illustration of Sanae & Reimu, the Shintoist Shrine Maindens! 


 The command prompt to ChatGPT is:

Redraw this illustration in a 1990s Japanese fantasy RPG illustration style with clean line art, stronger cel shading, and polished anatomy. Keep the torii gate, sky background, colors, and poses the same. The scene shows two shrine maidens standing under a red torii gate: • one wearing a red shrine maiden outfit holding a ritual wand with paper streamers • the other with long green hair and a snake hair ornament wearing a blue shrine maiden outfit Improve the line quality, proportions, and shading while preserving the original composition.

250th Anniversary of the publication of Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith!

Congratulations! Because of Adam Smith, I started knowing Scotland and got interested in economics as well as the modern philosophy including the enlightenment philosophy of his senior fellow David Hume!


Adam Smith is my hero who has attracted me to Scotland...! Since I read his Wealth of Nations, I have become so passionate about Scotland that I decided to study in Scotland! The individual property right is a fundamental of the economic liberalism! The big government undermining the general will of individuals eventually diverts our economy from the natural economic equilibrium which is the most feasible condition, and then misguides to the state of economic disturbance...! I really praise Adam Smith's theory which always points out what is right for economy when our economic freedom and general will are invaded by any sort of oppressors at any time period of our history...!

My favourite character in Touhou Project, Iizunamaru-sama, the Great Tengu. 
Although I'm busy with a project at the moment, I managed to squeeze in some time to make this piece as I thought Iizunamaru-sama would like it.
