About Ryujin Ilustrácia

Ryujin je ilustrácia inšpirovaná dračím božstvom mora z japonskej mytológie. Dielo vzniklo úplne od základov a riadi sa minimalistickým prístupom so silným dôrazom na detail. Pozadie zobrazuje vlny inšpirované japonskou estetikou, ktoré odzrkadľujú postavu. Koncept bol najprv digitálne načrtnutý, potom sa aplikovala vektorová kresba, tieňovanie a farba, pričom finálne úpravy dotvorili obraz. Ilustrácia je vytlačená na plagátoch, pozdravoch a tričkách. Cieľom bolo sprostredkovať silu postavy prostredníctvom tradičných japonských motívov v kombinácii s osobným štýlom.
