Immediate swing around to a character that’s far less obscure and also technically existed when I was last active in the fandom, though I never drew her back then (I doodled everyone in the LoLK cast at least once except for her and Clownpiece). Anyway, I’ve been fascinated with the fact that she purified herself into being nothing more than her grudge so much that almost her entire identity was wiped away, so I wanted to draw her covering her face with a fan with a kitsune on it (used a couple ukiyo-e as reference for drawing that), looked up Chinese fans to make sure I was thinking of the right thing (this kind is called tuanshan), and found out they were historically used in a wedding tradition (queshan) where the bride covers her face with a fan and then reveals it at the end, so I was like. Well, that’s appropriate given that Junko is the Touhou character most likely to have been married at some point, so it all worked out nicely. But then I figured I should probably draw her face anyway, if only to practice giving Touhou characters faces that fit my style and aren’t all the same, and went a bit silly with it lol(k)

Free Ladybug Amigurumi Pattern
I made this (really simple) crochet pattern for a ladybug and I figured I might as well share
Materials
black yarn
red yarn
white yarn
fiber fill
Body – use red yarn
Rnd 1: make 6sc into magic ring [6]
Rnd 2: inc in each st [12]
Rnd 3: (sc in next st, inc in next st) x 6 [18]
Rnd 4: (sc in next 2 st, inc in next st) x 6 [24]
Rnd 5: (sc in next 3 st, inc in next st) x 6 [30]
Rnd 6 - 9: sc in each st [30]
Rnd 10: sc in each st but only the front loops [30] (we'll use the backloops to sew on the belly)
fasten off and leave long tail for sewing
Belly – use black yarn:
Rnd 1: make 6sc into magic ring [6]
Rnd 2: inc in each st [12]
Rnd 3: (sc in next st, inc in next st) x 6 [18]
Rnd 4: (sc in next 2 st, inc in next st) x 6 [24]
Rnd 5: (sc in next 3 st, inc in next st) x 6 [30]
fasten off
Head – use black and white yarn, start with black:
Rnd 1: make 6sc into magic ring [6]
Rnd 2: inc in each st [12]
Rnd 3: (sc in next st, inc in next st) x 6 [18] – we'll switch colors here: start with 4 black, 2 white, 4 black, 2 white, 3 black
Rnd 4: sc in each st [18]
fasten off and leave long tail for sewing
flatten the head so that it's oblong (as shown in picture)
Spots – use black yarn (make 7):
Rnd 1: make 4sc into magic ring [4]
fasten off and leave long tail for sewing
for bigger spots make a magic ring with five or six
if you'd prefer really small spots you could use the french knot embroidery stitch technique instead
Assembly:
sew everything together starting with the head
then sew on the spots
fill the body with fiber fill
if you want your bug to be a keychain remember to attach the chain
then lastly attach the belly by using the back loops you left out when making the body
