Ryujin se yon ilistrasyon ki enspire de divinite dragon lanmè a nan mitoloji Japonè a. Èv la te fèt depi nan zewo epi li swiv yon apwòch minimal ak yon konsantrasyon fò sou detay. Background la montre vag ki enspire de Japon ki reflete karaktè a. Konsèp la te dabò eskiche an dijital, apre sa liy vektè, lonbraj ak koulè te aplike, epi ajisteman final yo te fini imaj la. Ilistrasyon an enprime sou afich, kat salitasyon ak chemiz. Objektif la se te transmèt pouvwa karaktè a atravè imaj tradisyonèl Japonè yo konbine ak yon estil pèsonèl.
