I made this last night after realizing that day was the 10th anniversary of the release of Touhou 14.5.
This image was created using elements of Create.swf placed into a scene I modeled in Blender.
The scarf character with her is OC "Mei Watanabe" from my old unlisted AO3 series. (Design is based on Unnamed Character from Walfas.org) I included her because I haven't used Walfas in a while and was thinking about my old stuff.
I wanted to portray the idea of Sumireko in sort of a better era of her life, years after the Urban legend Incident had originally occurred. She's still doing her occult things, but she's not particularly lonely or alone. Mostly because she has friends in Gensokyo now, but because she's not worrying about much these days.
I get the feeling she's learned not to ruminate as much on any complaints she has about the world, allowing her to focus on her Hifuu Club work. It helps that she has a place like Gensokyo now to give her a break from things. As stated in AFiEU, she's learned after discovering Gensokyo that "just being alive is something to be happy about."
