He Shi: Chen Yu Yu Works

This artbook by Chinese artist Chen Yu Yu features character designs inspired by the Rorschach test or inkblots. Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning. Chen Yu Yu used these patterns to create inspired character designs. The characters have a very fantasy and spiritual vibe, with some inspiration drawn from Chinese gods and mythologies. The artwork includes monks, characters with multiple hands, spirits, and supernatural beings from the cosmic realm. Almost all characters have their eyes closed, creating a sense of peace and mystery that invites viewers to imagine their personalities or stories behind them.
