As an experimental project, "The Strange Tale of Water Monster" aims to promote a clothing brand through an illustration and design fashion shows' visual image. The design includes animation creation and offline material design. Mukzin, as the virtual client, is responsible for the graphic image design of this project.
Each mythological figure in Chinese mythology reflects ancient people's different understandings of the world's origin, natural phenomena, and social life, and they are represented in supernatural images and imaginative forms. "The classic of mountains and seas" is a Chinese classic of strange stories, an absurd and fantastic book with extraordinary literary value, and has always been a source of inspiration for many design workers. We attempt to start from China's local culture and use water monsters from "The classic of mountains and seas" as the essential elements for this creation. In the image design of the water monster, we took the original text of "The classic of mountains and seas" as a reference and extracted descriptions of the characteristics of water monsters from it. We combined human-like images with industrial elements to reconstruct the water monster, trying to break people's traditional understanding of the water monster's image and interpret it from a modern perspective. Water monsters no longer hide in remote places where people seldom go but can be models and walk on the fashion show stage.
