Seal: The Legend of Rea is the graduation project I worked on last year. I want to create an emotional journey of a young apprentice.

In a resource-stricken island, two clans battle for survival while overlooking the imminent threat of a volatile volcano. Rea, the protagonist, is set on a path to reunite the clans and prevent the volcanic doomsday. 

Prologue: The Dye Workshop

After her master’s death, Rea retrieves his powerful seal stamp from the workshop and prepares for the journey.

Part 01: The Wicker Clan

Rea makes her first visit to the Temple of the Wind, seeking guidance.

Part 02: The Ingot Clan

Rea encounters a strange altar, an ominous ceremony, and some hostile Ingot clanspeople.

Part03: Flames and Redemption

Consumed by rage after uncovering her parents' death, Rea sets out for vengeance against the Ingot clan, igniting the chain of hatred.

In Nazi-occupied Paris during the 1940s, a young orphan joins the French Resistance to prevent the Gestapo from obtaining a powerful ancient artifact that will rule the world. Despite setbacks, they plan a final assassination of the general to reclaim the artifact and ignite the liberation of Paris.

This is a project that I wanted to try some stylized designs. I imagined SITNALTA (reversed ATLANTIS), a place for fish to live their lives on land.

These are paintings and sketches I created for practice last year, along with a furniture design project I did for an industrial design class.
