First Meet

As the crying baby princess was lowered towards the baby dragon that has just emerged from the top of his egg, her cries subsided, replaced by the look of curiosity and wonder. The baby dragon shyly look up at the princess and blew warm air at her face through his snout and soon the princess was smiling and reaching out her little hands towards her new friend.

Kite in the Meadow

'Hey little dragon' The princess stared up at the kite above them. 'One day when you're big enough to fly, bring me with you okay?' 


The little dragon trotting behind her gave a little cheerful bark and jumped forward, chasing the shadow of the kite.

Tears feat. Rokurokubi

Concept: This artwork features a Rokurokubi (a Japanese folklore youkai who is a normal woman by day but gains the ability to lengthen their necks at night) who was heart broken when the human man she fell deeply in love with went insane after seeing what she really is. To save him she took away his memories of her and the love they have been nurturing and disappears into the forest, never to appear in the human world again.

Concept:

Many many years in the future when the earth is covered by the sea after the 2nd great ice age, humans learnt to survive under water by building cities in the form of jellyfishes which can absorb sunlight as its source of energy when it resurface only once every year due to the terrible UV rays before going deep into the ocean again. Food were hunted from the sea with special underwater vehicle which are dispatched daily. Due to how dangerous sunlight is now without the ozone layer, humans got accustomed to darkness and only need very little source of light to get by their daily lives. Its a sad tale, even with such high tech technology. Human can no longer roam free on land under the sunshine or breath fresh air.
