Artist's commentary
Jingjing (2015)
Fuwas are the mascots of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This is a fan art of them using my typical art style. I attempted the idea first in 2007, and redrew it in 2010 and 2015. The one above is the 2015 version. I think many people came to know me because of this picture.
In the 2015 version, I used my typical bio-robotic style. I also tried to emphasize Chinese style in their costumes, like the collars and ornaments, etc. Compared to the previous versions, the 2015 redesign was more thorough. The design elements of each character were more clearly defined.
Jingjing is a panda. I gave him a more bulky body shape, and the design elements like leaves.
