Hey there, art and game lovers! ๐ฎ๐จ Have you ever wondered how your favorite video game characters come to life? The “Black Myth: Wukong Art Exhibition” is here to show you the magic! โจ
Held in Hangzhou, the capital city of east China’s Zhejiang Province, this awesome exhibition takes you on an exciting journey into the world of the upcoming video game Black Myth: Wukong. ๐ต๐ You’ll get to see super detailed visual materials and learn how the game designers created this amazing universe!
One of the coolest parts of the exhibition is the stop-motion animation called “Deaf Ear.” ๐ฝ๏ธ This animation appears in the game’s second chapter, “Yellow Sand, Desolate Dusk,” and it’s all about a traveling scholar who helps an injured fox. ๐ฆโค๏ธ
What’s stop-motion, you ask? It’s a special way of making movies where artists take lots of pictures of models, moving them just a tiny bit each time. When you play all the pictures quickly, it looks like the models are moving by themselves! ๐ค๐ฅ Everything in “Deaf Ear”โfrom the characters and their clothes to the sets and even effects like water and smokeโwas made by hand by the talented team at Realwood Stop-motion Animation Studio. ๐๐ ๏ธ
This exhibition lets you see these handcrafted models up close. It’s like stepping into the game itself! You can appreciate all the hard work and creativity that goes into making such detailed figures and scenes. ๐ผ๏ธโจ
If you’re in Hangzhou, be sure to check it out at the Art Museum of the China Academy of Art before it closes on July 25. It’s a fantastic opportunity to see art and video games coming together in a totally new way! ๐
Don’t miss out on this magical experience! Who knows, it might even inspire you to create your own stop-motion masterpiece! ๐ฌ๐
