Overview

Sosowon: The Season of the Flying Fish tells the story of Masarey, a young boy from Taiwan’s Orchid Island, and his grandfather, Syapen. To comfort his disheartened grandson, Syapen recounts the legend of a brave flying fish named Sosowon. Through VR hand gestures and head-tracking interactions, the audience embodies the flying fish, navigating threats from humans, the ocean, and the sky in a journey of escape and rebirth.

My Role

My primary role was Concept Design and Illustration, creating the background visual assets that were subsequently integrated into the VR environment by my colleagues. To define the overall visual style and color, I painted approximately 45 complete illustrations, presenting the entire story plot. At the same time, I needed to separate the images into foreground, midground, and background elements for my colleagues' subsequent use.

The story begins in the afternoon as Sosowon and his family drift along the Kuroshio Current. For these opening scenes, I designed the underwater world to be bright and vivid to establish a cheerful tone.
