怪絆妖譚 Kaiki Ayakashi-tan
Silver prize, illustration categoryA second-year project at HAL Tokyo where students from every department make one short film together. I was art director of the graphic and illustration team and set the visual design of the whole piece.
I drew the main poster and the character designs. Following the team's tone, I built everything on red and blue with a yellow tint for a retro, nostalgic world. The poster composition was the hardest part: the leader, teachers and film team each wanted different things, and a rough I believed in was turned down before we reached a layout everyone agreed on.
The work won silver in the illustration category across HAL Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya.

About
I'm Bonnie Li (阿冰), a character designer and illustrator working as LpiD Production.
I focus on character design, aiming for work with strong visual impact and real emotion. I decide quickly and act on ideas instead of sitting on them. From planning to finish I lay out the steps and carry them through at speed, keeping the quality up under tight deadlines and seeing every job through to the end.
