ILLUSTRATION BOOK PUBLISH &
CHARITY FANZINE PROJECT
April 2022
Time Period: 1 year
Solo Project
Skills: Illustration (2D art), Comics drawing, Graphic Design, Layout Design, Communicating, Publicity, Storytelling
In this self-made fan artbook project, I showcase my passion for the game Fire Emblem: Three Houses through a collection of original fanart and fan comics. Using Medibang Paint on my iPad, I depict the relationships and experiences of the characters in the game.

Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic, I was able to independently manage the entire artbook publishing process, from contacting the printing factory to creating sample books and selling them online. It took me 5 months to complete the project, and I was able to sell over 100 copies of the artbook.
Notes about copyright: since this project is based on an existed IP, everything I sell is at about the cost price without any profit
SELECTED ARTWORKS
MORE than Fan arts…
I have practiced a lot of skills (Typographic design, drawing, communicating…）altogether in this single project, and met a lot of new friends. By connecting to the fandom, I also get invited to join a few FE3H charity fanzine projects and worked as a contributor.
The love for a specific fandom can actually help people and make the world a better place!
