About Ryujin Primary Function: Illyustratsiya

Ryujin — yapon mifologiyasidagi dengiz ajdaho ma'budidan ilhomlangan illyustratsiya. Asar noldan yaratilgan bo'lib, detallarga kuchli e'tibor qaratilgan minimalistik yondashuvga amal qiladi. Fon esa personajni aks ettiruvchi yapon uslubidagi to'lqinlarni namoyish etadi. Konsepsiya avval raqamli tarzda eskiz qilingan, so'ngra vektorli chiziqlar, soyalash va rang qo'llanilgan, yakuniy tuzatishlar esa tasvirni yakunlagan. Illyustratsiya plakatlar, tabrik otkritkalari va futbolkalarga bosilgan. Maqsad — an'anaviy yapon tasviriyatini shaxsiy uslub bilan uyg'unlashtirgan holda personajning qudratini yetkazish edi.
