About Ryujin Illustrazzjoni

Ryujin hija illustrazzjoni ispirata mid-divinità tad-dragun tal-baħar fil-mitoloġija Ġappuniża. Ix-xogħol artistiku sar mill-bidu u jsegwi approċċ minimu b'enfasi qawwija fuq id-dettall. L-isfond juri mewġ ispirat mill-Ġappun li jirrifletti l-karattru. Il-kunċett l-ewwel tpinġa diġitalment, imbagħad ġie applikat ix-xogħol tal-linji vettorjali, l-ombrar u l-kulur, u aġġustamenti finali temmew l-immaġni. L-illustrazzjoni hija stampata fuq posters, kartolini tat-tislim u flokkijiet. L-għan kien li tiġi trażmessa l-qawwa tal-karattru permezz ta' immaġni tradizzjonali Ġappuniża kkombinata ma' stil personali.
