The Legend of the Demon Cat art
Award Comments:
According to the jury, the art design of "Legend of the Demon Cat" presents the charm of classical Chinese painting and traditional aesthetic mood. It took six years to build a Tang City in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and every blade of grass, every tree, every building, every picture, all of them perfectly reproduce the scenery of the Tang Dynasty. The artist used excellent creativity to deal with the subtle color relationship by contrasting the warmth and coldness, and the visual rhythm and hierarchy are full of rhythmic sense, which builds an illusionary realm of the times with an oriental flavor.
