Visual Development
Visual development is a crucial early stage in both storyboarding and animation. A skilled storyboard artist must also excel at quickly designing props during the storyboard creation process, providing reference for downstream stages. Therefore, I have a strong interest in visual development, and here are some of my works.
“Wonderland”
A sniper gril, Alice, is hunting a robot rabbit in the debris after the apocalypse.
Charater Design-Qing Dynasty
I picked there interesting characters of Qing Dynasty to create a comic effect.
A foreign officer is trying Chinese tabacoo and blows a swirl of smoke rings.
A royal concubine is watching herself in the mirror and adjust her headwear.
A empire solider is riding on the horse and carring a dragon flag. The horse is designed with an interesting look.
”My Angel”

The dog is the character I designed for the story “finding head”. In the story, a dog and a mannequin who lost his head experience a journey in the junkyard to find his head back.
Character Design:Fariy&Sprite
The Fariy and Sprite are characters I designed for the story “Karma is Real”. The sprite does many things wrong and damages the fariy’s garden. Finally, the spirte gets the punishment he deserves.
Character Design:Ghost
The ghost is the character I designed for the story “Settle down”. In the story, ghost is a poor guy who has no permenant place to live and has to move form place to place. Finally, he settles on in a haunted house happily.
Brainstorm-Junkyard
The task is creating any interesting scene in the junkyard. For me, I depicts three scenes:
An old dog sneaks into a junkyard and gets into an rusted car which used to belong to his owner. The dog is sad, when finding the photo of both of them.
A monster is making a heart-shaped gift from a tyre of the abandoned car.
The robot settles down in the junkyard and watering the trees which grow out of the car.
Mashup-Monster & Restaurant
I pop up ideas that what the monsters will do in the restaurant, they can be clients, chef or a waiter. These are wonderful moments.
Character Design: Jade Rabbit
Jade Rabbit is a character I designed for the story “ Lunar blossoming”. In the story, jade rabbit and moon rover build a friendship after misunderstanding and disputs. The seeds rover gives to rabbit grow there and make the moon glowing.
Enviroment Design: Jade Rabbit’s Greenhouse
The transparent greenhouse is where the rabbit plants and grows new or rare flowers. There are two holes on the ceiling for a tree to grow out of them, the branches are of the shape of rabbit’s two long ears. Inside the house, a well is desinged for the rabbit to water the flowers.
