About Drago Dragan Bréagáin Bailiúcháin

Is dragan bréagáin bailiúcháin é Drago atá deartha lena thaispeáint i spásanna cónaithe. Tá gach figiúr 75 milliméadar ar airde agus tarraingíonn sé inspioráid ón dragan ársa Síneach, créatúr a chomhcheanglaíonn tréithe éisc, nathrach agus iolair. Áirítear sa bhailiúchán sé stíl agus dhá dhéag cuma éagsúla. Múnlaítear gach píosa go digiteach agus priontáiltear i PLA bán le sraitheanna 0.1 milliméadar. Tar éis an phriontála, snasaítear gach figiúr, spreáiltear é le brataíocht bharr, péinteáiltear de láimh é le dathanna aicrileach agus críochnaítear é le brat snasta breise. Tugann an dearadh ornáid deisce maisiúil do lucht grá bréagán fásta.

Design Challenge: The key challenge to the product was to create a shape that looks cute and modern. Another challenge is to create a pattern that can perfectly fit in the shape and add playfulness to it, because the shape is irregular and I want to keep the feature of a dragon but also add some interesting pattern in it.
Research: Nowadays there are not much toys designed for adults. I want to design a series of toy that can be collect by modern toy lovers. Modern toy has become an iconic art platform to bring artistry to the public eye, and a fusion of pop-culture and illustration is expected to inject vitality into the modern toy. So I designed a toy that involved in varies color and pattern, I hope this bold design, can be recognizable and evoked people’s love of pop-culture.
Inspiration: Ancient Chinese dragon is a combination of great deals of animals, including fish, snake and eagle. I got my inspiration from this interesting concept. Through mixing and matching of the characteristics that I discovered in the animal world, I created my own dragon. Each Drago have a story to tell.
