About Buddha Said Siri Ilustrasi

Buddha Said ialah satu siri ilustrasi yang diilhamkan daripada lukisan dinding gua Dunhuang. Lima cerita klasik daripada lukisan dinding ini dipilih dan dilukis semula untuk siri ini. Watak-watak dalam setiap cerita diperhalusi dan digabungkan dengan latar dalam gaya grafik moden. Warna-warna yang diambil daripada lukisan dinding Dunhuang memberikan imej-imej ini suasana yang agung dan misteri. Ilustrasi ini dihasilkan menggunakan perisian reka bentuk vektor dan dicetak pada saiz 800 kali 800 milimeter dengan resolusi tinggi. Matlamatnya adalah untuk menggabungkan tradisi dengan reka bentuk moden serta memperkenalkan cerita-cerita lukisan dinding ini kepada khalayak yang lebih luas.
