創作介紹

二十四節氣 24 Solar Terms

A personal project in 2014. I designed and illustrated animals for the traditional East Asian 24 solar terms.

For each term, I merged the featured vegetable or fruit, or the special environmental changes of that weather into the animal.

Not all the terms has a related animal, and usually several terms share the same vegetables. I tried to select and arrange them for better design and visual diversity.

雨水

YuShui (Rain Water) | Rains a lot, Otters hunts fish.

• 獺祭魚：獺即水獺；又名水狗，以魚為主食之水生動物；祭魚，取魚以祭天也；所謂豺獺之報本，歲始而魚上游，則獺初取以祭。
• 鴻雁來：雁，知時之鳥，氣候暑時歸於塞北，寒冷時南下江南，沙漠乃其居也；孟春陽氣既達，候雁自彭蠡而北矣。
• 草木萌動：天地之氣交而為泰，故草木紛紛於此時萌起發芽。

水獺ｘ祭魚ｘ雨水ｘ水滴

春季的第二個節氣，此時氣溫回升冰雪融化降水增多，草木開始生出嫩芽，萬物開始萌動，春天正式到來。設計圖面以水獺祭魚為主，清澈的雨水落在水獺身上，在春回大地之時與陽光一起滋潤大地。

The 2nd solar term of spring. The temperature rises, ice and snow melt, and precipitation increases. Plants are starting to sprout, all creatures are starting to emerge, and spring is officially here.

The design is mainly based on otter’s fish sacrifice. Limpid rain falling on the otter and nourish the land with sunshine as spring returns.

水獺是雨水的主題動物，繪者使用清新的水藍色表現「新鮮、潮溼的味道」。圖中圖『水滴』個人覺得有點難呈現，結果挺好的。除了燈籠，另外還有像珊瑚的特殊片，沒挑出來拍照是因為其另有特殊用途，之後再介紹。
