keyframe #1 The Forest

Tool: Blender, Photoshop

A widower miss himself and the way out of a jungle.

When he finally found the efficacious earth god sculpture, he bumped into a group of dwarves and was brought back to their place...

The story is basically the fantasy version of the Taiwanese legend of mo-sîn-á(魔神仔), some ape-like dwarves, who will lead people to the forest and feed them cow shit while people think they are eating something very delicious.

In my version, the widower was tempted to the dwarves' altar and supposed that his wish was fulfilled and got to meet his already-dead wife again...

keyframe #2 Amid the Kelp

(Tool: Blender, Photoshop)

My personal take on the film Waterworld.

An unsociable man living in this post-apocalyptic world with his little otter buddy.

Being hungry for a while, they’re ready to dive into the kelp forest!

They bump into an abandoned temple.

...

Then they dive deep,

..

deeper,

.

and deeper...

Character illustration #1 Beauty and the Beast

(Tool: Photoshop)

Taiwanese version of Beauty and the Beast

Started as a b&w texture practice, I found the combination of beauty and a monster attractive for me.

So I let the idea go crazy.

What if the beauty is Taiwanese?

What if the beast is a mutant of Taiwanese animals?

What if their relationship is more like a partnership rather than a romance?

Try to make it as realistic as possible to practice my painting skill.

Character Design #2 Game of Thrones

(Tool: Photoshop)

Characters I design upon Game of Thrones’ world setting.

The Dragon Egg Protector

There is a family that devoted their whole life to the dragon’s inheritance.

Along with the distinction of dragons, the family declines...

As the last descendant of dragon protectors, she must be strong.

Even though... she is nobody but simply a powerless young orphan...

Design variation: The Wooddancer

He is a Wooddancer of The Children of The Forest.

During the war of the First Men and the Children of The Forest, he is the most courageous and aggressive leader...

But now, as winter is coming… he must rest and make good preparations for the very last war...

Character Design #3 The Forest Bureau

This is a sci-fi character explorations on my personal IP.

With their exoskeletons powered by a mystical mineral, these crew got to fight with their enemies!
