This Touhou artwork depicting several of the game series’ normally moesome cast of characters is done in what is usually called リアル / “real” style, although most observers are likely to regard the artist as having taken it a bit too far…
The illustration will grace the packaging for an upcoming Touhou 1/24 model itasha (or “toy car” if you prefer to be honest about things).
Amiami is taking pre-orders (domestic only), but does not have any actual photos of the product on its site, but a previous Touhou itasha from the same line should give an idea of what to expect:
The art on the actual itasha themselves (not the image art on the packaging) is by the talented artist Tomusooya, a master of Touhou pantsu.
No images of the new release model are available, but fortunately the decals have been revealed:
More information, and much Touhou art, is available at Tomu’s site, Moe to Web.

Add Kim Jong IL to the pic and I want be as surprised. :)
I see people still can't tell the difference between the guys who post the news.
Heh, I drew Etna in this "wannabe realistic" style. It disgusted a few people on certain forums (one member said that the face was absolutely disgusting). It was a success =P
MY EYES!!!!!!
THE PAIN
T_T
“real” style... More like "real" bad...
Is it me or they look like Chinese communist propaganda posters in 1970's?
This is pretty awesome, both the realistic drawings and the lamprey eel mobile.
I can't flap to this...
AAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
THE GOGGLES - THEY DO NOTHIIIIIING!
WATCH OUT radioactive man
2D is the only way.
But that is STILL 2d.
actually, it is much more moe than ZUN's art in any change
It's blasphemy to convert the perfection that is 2D into disgusting 3D.
The toy car is an instant automatic epic win. However, the packaging is an instant automatic epic fail. OH THE DILEMMA.
blog.
Yes, it looks creepy; but it's retro, I guess. It looks like retro 1970s ad, indeed.
Looks like North Korean propaganda art.
ZUN looks totally cool there.
Kind of reminds me of Handre de Jager's art
CHEEEEEEEEEEN
So Remi is Asian.
I agree with that Guro tag 100%
i would totally go for a model of the mystia catering truck thing.
I'll keep the car, but I'll defnitely burn that packaging of horror thing
It's...it's beautiful.
which one???
All things considered, the representation of ZUN isn't too bad. However, were generic smiling, rosy faces out of a social realism propaganda piece really necessary for everyone else? A lot of work went into this, yet all that work went horribly, horribly wrong.
hmmm, for me that is pretty accurate drawing, i quiet like it.
Are ya serious?
EPIC !!
MOE!!!
POE!!!
KILL IT!!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE!!!!
That would suck to have the "real style" painted characters on the itasha.
Zomg
I for one think it is a welcome break from the moe usually found on this site.
Artefact, can we have a "real" gallery?
Seconded - I like different styles of art.
I think you mean a "realistic 2d" gallery or few, because there's plenty of real (photographic) stuff already.
I don't have enough images myself handy to even think of doing one currently.
I did post one type that I actually thought well of quite some time ago of Lucky Star:

What the hell is that!? Looks like a chinese's advertissment in the 70's!
+1
this anon is right
very...very realistic style arts
"chinese’s advertissment in the 70’s"
Lol. ^^'
+ 1
LOL wut?? O_O;
lolwut?
Actually, it's more like japanese promotional poster in 60's
So China was already bootlegging things back then?
Chinese 70's ad? Lol hahahahaha.. Need to agree with that~
Chinese Fallout game.
+1
Farrout?
...the fuck?
I like the Car, not the packaging box.. thing.
Besides, what the hell happened to Youmu? She looks.. Meh.
SAKUYA, WHAT ON EARTH HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU?! щ(´ﾛ`щ)
I feel your pain, brah. ;-;
Scary indeed.
It appears the new model is a variation on that vendor car, as apparent by the decals in comparison to the box art.
°O° good car toy
The so called real style is like a drawing from a Chinese newspaper Ad (I was referring to the second picture).
Holy shit. Looks like an insane plastic surgeon worked on them.
2D doesn't equate well into 3D
Although i think realism art is actually a nice touch, i have to say the artist really took away their vivid original personalities.. Remilia and Sakuya now look nothing sadistic anymore.
And Youmu with a bowlcut..? 0_0*
Looks like a Japanese ad from the 1950s.
LOL, Yuyuko and Youmu looks like a ghost,,, :P
remilia's still pretty cute
Wow, it hurts to look
Toyota + Touhou = FTW
My vote actually goes for a North Korean propaganda mural
