This is a story about a greedy frog named Jeff. Jeff was chasing flies in front of a flytrap board. Unfortunately, his tongue got stuck to the board. Jeff tried many different ways to unstick his tongue, but almost his whole body was trapped. In the end, the board was burned, and Jeff’s tongue finally detached from the board. Surprisingly, however, there was more than one flytrap board‌ I want to present an interesting story, and especially focus on character performance. I gave Jeff long hands, long legs, and interesting facial expressions to emphasise his greedy personality.

Character Design
Scene Design This scene is set in a warm kitchen. Because I wanted to emphasise that Jeff interrupted the quiet afternoon, I chose a warmer scene to contrast.

CHARACTER DESIGN

Hedgehog
Girl Design
Monster
Hedgehog Maya, Photoshop
This character is a combination of two animals, a hedgehog and a groundhog. This hedgehog was bullied by the squirrels at school, because it looked different from them. I wanted to give the hedgehog an optimistic personality, so it did not look pitiful. It is a courageous character.
Girl Design Photoshop
This character is a young, cute and sexy girl. People always look at her appearance first. However, she is actually a smart girl. She has a lot of passion, and wants to pursue her dream of being a model.
Monster Photoshop
These three monsters can excrete mucus. They all use this mucus to slide and move, but they have different protection systems. The green monster can fire needles from its body to attack enemies. The pink monster can use lightning to attack others. Finally, the yellow monster has a wireless system with which it can observe its enemies’ movements.

Digital Painting
Digital Paiting Photoshop
The idea for this painting came from a real frog. I thought that it wanted to tell me a story. This painting is from my imagination. I thought that the frog was very rich, but it actually felt lonely. So it didn't have lots of furniture; it just sat there, waiting for someone to find it someday.
Digital Paiting Photoshop
I wanted to create a dragon which is intimate with people. A dragon is just like a dog and a cat that can be our friend, too. I illustrated the dragon was influenced by girl’s love. It changed its mind from violent to amiable.
Poster Design
Adobe ADAA 2013 Print Communication Semifinalist Illustrator
My topic is “Do not be kidnapped by your smart phone�. Through these posters, we can see how smart phones have an extremely deep influence in our daily life. A smart phone is like our heart, we cannot live without it. It is also like a beast which has long, sharp teeth and snaps at your hand and never lets you go. Moreover, a smart phone is like a parasite which parasitizes every part of your body.
Poster Design Illustrator
Nowadays, people use smart phones everywhere - when they are walking, driving, and even cycling. Such actions are actually dangerous. Therefore, in these posters, people suffer from accidents due to smart phone use. These accidents create a domino effect, and I use this idea to tell people how dangerous it can be to use smart phones everywhere.
3D Computer Graphics Maya, Photoshop
This room is my ideal room. I wanted to present a realistic room, so I used textures from real photos I had taken myself. I really love the light in my room. I also love having more yellow in my room. I think wall lighting plays an important role in a room. It can give a room a different atmosphere. Illustrating a room using Maya was an interesting experience, and I love the final result.
3D Computer Graphics Maya, Photoshop
I created this scene because I wanted to practice creating nature scenery. In my country, Taiwan, this kind of house is rare, so I just illustrated it using my imagination. I wanted to set up a sunny, secluded house.

3D Model Maya, Zbrush
I built up 3D models for some special effects for TV series. I used Maya to make the first model, and then refined the model in Zbrush. I created a bow, a gun, and a devil city. I thought the details of the models are really important, and I used normal mapping to retain the information.
