The Design

About Ryujin Ilustracija

Ryujin je ilustracija inspirirana zmajskim božanstvom mora iz japanske mitologije. Djelo je izrađeno od nule i slijedi minimalistički pristup s naglašenim fokusom na detalje. Pozadina prikazuje valove inspirirane japanskim stilom koji reflektiraju lik. Koncept je najprije skiciran digitalno, zatim su primijenjeni vektorski obrisi, sjenčanje i boja, a konačna prilagodba dovršila je sliku. Ilustracija je otisnuta na posterima, čestitkama i majicama. Cilj je bio prenijeti snagu lika kroz tradicionalne japanske prikaze u kombinaciji s osobnim stilom.
