ANIMATED STILLS: Tan Zhi Hui’s Manic Expression
A graduate of the One Academy, character designer Zhi Hui’s work is very much an exaggeration of the emotions that he wishes to portray in his doodle-style illustrations. His alias – Kuda Man – was pieced together when he needed a pseudonym for when he first played online games. His illustrative style can be best explained as putting an emphasis on fine elements such as lines and details to create his cartoon-esque illustrations, resulting with a flow and a palpable energy in his intricate work. Additionally, you could buy a t-shirt with his art on it as he sends the graphics to Threadless—a company that supports artists through the sale of t-shirts, phone cases, etc.
