About Ryujin Primêre Funksie: Illustrasie

Ryujin is 'n illustrasie geïnspireer deur die draakgodheid van die see in die Japannese mitologie. Die kunswerk is van nuuts af geskep en volg 'n minimalistiese benadering met 'n sterk fokus op detail. Die agtergrond toon Japannees-geïnspireerde golwe wat die karakter weerspieël. Die konsep is eers digitaal geskets, waarna vektorlynwerk, skadu-effekte en kleur toegepas is, en finale aanpassings het die beeld voltooi. Die illustrasie word op plakkate, groetekaartjies en hemde gedruk. Die doel was om die krag van die karakter oor te dra deur tradisionele Japannese beeldmateriaal gekombineer met 'n persoonlike styl.
