I am a professional illustrator with developed skills in animation and have been studying art with intensity since a young age. I don’t have a signature art style, instead having several different styles that I can alternate between depending on the type of project I am working on.
Being taught strict fundamentals throughout middle school and high school in China, I have been able to greatly develop my base skills as an artist, allowing me to create incredibly detailed, complex and anatomically correct works of art. I work well in blending realism with exaggeration, making me able to easily adapt my skills to a range of projects.
In the future, I aim to become a storyboard artist at a Chinese game studio, which not only blends my interests but also my skills in quickly and effectively bringing a concept to life, a skill I used in my final major project. I then aim to move more towards the field of history and mythology, partly fuelled by my love for historical art, which has had heavy influence on my art.
Echoes of The Road is a short, non-linear tribute to history through the life of an immortal named Ambrose. Alive since the beginning of time, he has grown tired of his long life and finds the world around him boring.
A musical performance at a Christmas market, however, brings him back to the different experiences and people he has met throughout his time, reminding him of the changing and unchanging parts of human history, the good, bad and the grey area in between. He finishes watching the performance with a new perspective, now with a new appreciation for the roads he has travelled down.
The film was created by two history lovers with a passion for showing the reality of history, a version not idealised by romanticised versions of the past nor the minimized, brutalized versions of past events and eras. Our aim was to show how humanity has evolved throughout time, and that human life as we have known it, is meaningful regardless of what time period it exists in.
