About Horyukaku Illustrazzjoni

L-ispirazzjoni għall-illustrazzjonijiet ġejja mil-letteratura klassika Ġappuniża Nanso Satomi Hakkenden. Horyukaku hija xena popolari f'Kabuki. It-tema tad-disinji hija l-armonija tad-disinji tradizzjonali Ġappuniżi u Ewropej. Motivi Ġappuniżi tradizzjonali ġew imfassla billi inkorporaw l-istili ta 'Art Nouveau u Art Deco. L-ewwel tpinġija miġbuda bl-idejn saret u mbagħad ikkulurit fil Photoshop biex jersqu eqreb lejn il-kwalità ta 'disinn vintage reali. Anki jekk in-nies li jaraw id-disinn ma kinux jgħixu f'dik l-era, jistgħu jħossuhom familjarità u nostalġija.
