After printed, it had been polished and sprayed with a top coat. All the details were hand-painted with acrylic and then top with another shining coat.
Design Challenge: The key challenge to the product was to create a shape that looks cute and modern. Another challenge is to create a pattern that can perfectly fit in the shape and add playfulness to it, because the shape is irregular and I want to keep the feature of a dragon but also add some interesting pattern in it.
Research: Nowadays there are not much toys designed for adults. I want to design a series of toy that can be collect by modern toy lovers. 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.
Inspiration: Ancient Chinese dragon is a combination of great deals of animals, including fish, snake and eagle. I got my inspiration from this interesting concept. 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.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2019 in New York and finished in May 2019, and was exhibited in New York in May 2019.
Operation Flow: This toy is a whole piece. It can be used for decorating home or use as a beautiful tabletop ornament.
