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.

大暑

DaShu (Major Heat) | The hottest period in the year; firefly.

• 腐草為螢：《格物論》曰：「螢是從腐草和爛竹根而化生。」，古人認為螢火蟲是由腐爛的草本身變化而成。
• 土潤溽暑：溽，濕也。土之氣潤，熱氣鬱勃上升而為濕暑，意即天氣悶熱。
• 大雨時行：此時常有大的雷雨出現，可退暑氣，天氣開始向立秋過渡。

雙頭蛇ｘ夏夜ｘ螢火蟲ｘ冰淇淋

夏季的最後一個節氣，同時也是一年中最炎熱難耐的時期。古云：「大暑有米也懶煮」，正說明了此時節氣候溫度之高。設計圖面以身長更長、露出尖牙的雙頭蛇為代表，是此系列唯一一隻幻想動物，將融合星空與螢火蟲的夏季元素加入，呈現出兇猛危險卻同時充滿寂靜美麗的神祕氛圍。

It’s the last solar term of summer and the hottest period of the year.

The designs uses two-headed snake with longer body length and revealing sharp fangs. It is the only fantasy creature in this series. The integration of summer elements, starry sky and firefly, creates a mysterious atmosphere that is both dangerously ferocious and silently beautiful.

橫著看也挺適合的~拼片&最終圖形明顯比其他節氣動物大。

圖中圖是冰淇淋

特殊片有時令水果「荔枝」，及是同為幻想生物的「尼斯湖水怪」（亦或單純只是隻蛇？）

白背板雖然顯色，但這款拼圖皆有白邊，美編不是很容易。
