This is an original character illustration design inspired by the Chinese mythical creature Nian. It reimagines the traditionally fierce Nian with a cute and playful aesthetic, challenging the conventional perception of the creature. The design retains recognizable elements of the Nian while softening them to create a friendly appearance. By combining traditional folklore with contemporary design sensibilities, this illustration aims to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity and spark curiosity about cultural mythologies.

These are the three-view drawings of the original character “Nian”I created.
By creating these three-view drawings, I have effectively captured the essence of the character and established a foundation for their design. These drawings serve as a reference for other artists or animators who may be involved in bringing the character to life in various mediums, such as illustrations, animations, or even 3D modeling. The three-view drawings ensure consistency in the character's appearance and enable artists to depict the character accurately and convincingly from multiple angles.
Furthermore, these three-view drawings can also aid in storytelling and world-building. They provide a visual reference for depicting the character's interactions with other elements in their environment and help establish how the character fits within the larger narrative or setting.
