" When I first read a comic magazine and started in touch with illustrations and video games, I knew what I would do in the future. My best time was drawing the stories in my head out on physical paper in my free time. I would dive into the stories I made and forget all the bad things in the real world; the satisfaction that art brings me is incomparable. I always imagine myself as an elf who lives in a magical fantasy world, so my illustrations are always full of magic elements and vivid colors. I also like to draw something that could express my emotion and hope that I can relate to somebody. I got most of my inspiration from comics, anime, video games, fairy tales, and myths, and my style tends toward stylized realism. I want to illustrate the stories and characters in my mind and share them with others."
