Summary/Artist's Statement

CD Album: This is an original CD album based on my video game project "Magic Antiques". Which is Magic Antiques original soundtrack (for artwork display only, no music included) There are two CDs in the album. This album is a tri-fold design. I drew unique original art for this album.

Character keychain: Acrylic keychains based on the three-dimensional main characters of my original game Magic Antiques, namely Nova the Moon Rabbit, Gardor the Halfling, and Bob the Cat

1-minute animation (music video): This is a 1-minute music video based on my original project Magic Antiques. The story revolves around a fossil of a Walkman wrapped in a cassette tape that Bob the cat found. The music is"City pop thing" by Ivusm. The specific art style refers to the unique noise and effects of the VHS monitor era in the last century. It is an attempt to nostalgia for the 1980s.

2 stamps: Two stamps based on my video game project "Magic Antiques", a blue Bob's head round stamp and a red family stamp.

3D resin printing, figure of Bob: This is a 3D printed figure of Bob, the concept character and mascot of my video game Magic Antiques. The material is resin and the paint is acrylic paint. The production process uses multiple software to continuously produce (procreate for draft, photoshop for draft, zbrush for sculpting, and the final painting is traditional hand-painted)

Acrylic cards: An interactive acrylic transparent card based on my video game project "Magic Antiques". The center of the picture content is transparent, so you can take pictures and interact in the real world.

Moonlake postcard: This is a postcard based on the illustration drawn by Nova, the protagonist of my video game project "Magic Antiques". The content is the scene of Nova, the moon rabbit, discovering the Moon Lake. On the back is the head portrait of Bob, the mascot of this project, and my personal information.

23rd Street Station of Neo York, illustration, canvas print: This is a scene art based on my video game Magic Antiques, showing a New York ruin that has become a ruin and buried underground in the future. The three elements in the picture: the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building, and the 23rd street train station tell the audience that this illustration is located in Manhattan. In this world, New York has become a human city that only exists in legends, just like the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. The original character in the game, the halfling Gardor, takes Bob the cat into the ruins of this ancient city to explore.
