This is one of my two favorite facial expressions in h pictures. I enjoy the whole, 'being broken' expression. My other favorite expression is after the girls mind has been broken or overridden with pleasure.
don't read if you're a fan of geisterIt looks his drawing hasn't the uniformity. some of them have perfect proportions but some of them are came from outer space.. that means he is tracing others and he doesn't have imaginary inner figures in his brain.

so it seems he is analysisusing pics&poses of real women for his touhou fanart... well i personally dont think thats something to be ashamed of. If he would trace/use others ppls work then yes, but there are many professional artist that need at least some kind of model... Some use real life images, some have their mini-doll that can bend in the poses they like! See pireze artbook videos for that, pretty cool imho!
I doubt he traced, I think he referenced it. Sakuya's body is slightly different from the model's. I agree many artists use models, so it doesn't make geister any less of an artist. (Not saying you think (s)he's less of an artist or anything.)
If one wants to have realistic painting, it is best matched with real-life anatomy. You won't learn muscle tone or texture from looking at flat 2d illustrations. 2d is a good source of style, but is lacking in accuracy, which is why real life references are important to this kind of artist. Some are more creative than others though. That depends on how similar reference and final images look. Even when a whole composition is similar, it doesn't always mean it was a direct trace. Drawing is easy with reference. drawing with no reference is much more difficult. Some may rationalize that the difficulty of painting is offsetting the ease of copying a concept from another source.
Even master painters like Kagaya hire models to reference muscle and lighting on. It is explained on his homepage. spoilerhttp://www.kagayastudio.com/english/qa/qa_english/howtodraw.html But Kagaya himself has enough imagination to create illustrations without further influence.
While it's certainly no slight on geister's artistic skills to say he uses models and/or reference images, I personally think a bigger problem is the whole uncanny valley effect. Basically his art looks too real for the body, so adding in the anime features ended up making the whole thing look creepy because it's unnatural. Some people may like this, but given that it's a well-known (and named) issue they're probably in the minority. ＼（－－）／
That said, geister's certainly talented, even if he's tracing photos to get the bodies, that's still quite difficult to do. Coloring them properly afterward is even more difficult. (´･ω･｀)
No. Before I first commented, I thought it was unquestionably Misato. Upon closer inspection, it looked a bit different (Amaduyu?). I felt sure enough to add the tag, but I can't find any other Touhou work by Misato.
No. Not Amaduyu. Looks more like Misato than Amaduyu at least. There is an artist with a similar style but I can't remember his name... Good luck tagging this.
