Additional Information
- Unlike ZUN, it's been shown that alphes has a preference for drawing characters with some curves (as can be seen often on the front page of Tasofro's website). For example, in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Suika Ibuki's chest seems to be flat and Komachi Onozuka's seems to be large, with ZUN's guidelines presumably keeping it all in check. This may be a case of alphes being able to indulge in their preference with official art.
- Yuugi Hoshiguma's background cameo sprite in Hopeless Masquerade is shown wearing a kimono outfit that seems to be another indication of alphes adding their preferences to Touhou Project art (the outfit was first used on an unofficial Subterranean Animism promotional flyer, shown at right, which was also drawn by alphes).
- It is somewhat rare for alphes to draw characters blushed.
- alphes submitted an original character, Pamela Arwig, for erka:es' follow-up to their Mega Man-esque doujin title, Rosenkreuzstilette, as an entry for the Rosenkreuzstilette ~Freudenstacehel~ boss character contest. alphes, along with zaku6, Hissatsu-kun, and REDMOON, won the contest.
Fandom
- alphes' style of drawing is often parodied by various artists across the Internet. See some illustrations mimicking alphes here (NSFW).
