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.

立秋

LiQiu (Start of Autumn) | Longan.

• 涼風至：西方淒清之風曰涼風，溫變而涼氣始肅也。
• 白露降：意旨立秋之後早晚溫差漸大，夜間濕氣接近地面，在清晨形成未凝結成珠之白霧。
• 寒蟬鳴：與夏至第二候”蟬始鳴”相呼應。在秋天叫的蟬稱為寒蟬，寒蟬感應到陰氣生而開始鳴叫。

松鼠ｘ龍眼ｘ落葉ｘ祥雲

秋季的第一個節氣，大暑過後邁入秋涼的時節，氣溫開始變得涼爽舒適，金黃色鋪滿了稻田，灑滿整個枝頭，農夫們也紛紛趕在立秋前完成收割及插秧的農務。設計圖面以松鼠為形象代表，將秋天盛產的龍眼果實元素加入圖中，象徵著金秋時節碩果滿枝，莊稼豐收。

The first solar term of autumn. It is the season of cool autumn days after Great Heat. The temperature is starting to become cool and comfortable. The golden color blanketed rice paddies and sprinkled all over the branches. Farmers are rushing to complete the harvesting and transplanting rice seedlings.

The design uses squirrel as image representation with elements of Longan, an abundant seasonal fruit, to symbolize abundant ripe fruits and crops during the golden autumn season.

松鼠尾巴的碩大部分，靈感取自龍眼及其半透明之果肉；腳爪上的圖紋則為落葉。

費時13min，超簡單等級，白邊拼完就差不多完成了。

圖中圖是「祥雲」（設計緣由不明）

特殊片除了松鼠，還有七夕的象徵：牛郎與織女。

莫名覺得這樣的構圖更好…

Double Squirrel 相對的畫面很適合作童書封面
