Sawir kastaa wuxuu dherer u leeyahay 75 milimitir, waxaana lagu dhisay fikradda muraayadda hore ee dhaqanka Shiinaha, oo ah xayawaan isku daraya astaamaha kalluunka, abeesada iyo gorgorka.

Modern toy has become an iconic art platform to bring artistry to the public eye, and a fusion of pop-culture and illustration is expected to inject vitality into the modern toy. So I designed a toy that involved in varies color and pattern, I hope this bold design, can be recognizable and evoked people’s love of pop-culture.

Through mixing and matching of the characteristics that I discovered in the animal world, I created my own dragon. Each Drago have a story to tell.
