About Ryujin Darlunwaith

Mae Ryujin yn ddarlun a ysbrydolwyd gan dduwdod ddraig y môr ym mytholeg Japan. Crëwyd y gwaith celf o'r dechrau ac mae'n dilyn dull minimalaidd gyda ffocws cryf ar fanylder. Mae'r cefndir yn dangos tonnau â naws Japaneaidd sy'n adlewyrchu'r cymeriad. Cafodd y cysyniad ei fraslunio'n ddigidol yn gyntaf, yna gosodwyd gwaith llinellau fector, tywyllu a lliw, a chwblhawyd y ddelwedd gydag addasiadau terfynol. Argraffir y darlun ar bosteri, cardiau cyfarch a chrysau. Y nod oedd cyfleu pŵer y cymeriad drwy ddelweddaeth draddodiadol Japaneaidd wedi'i chyfuno ag arddull bersonol.
