The Adventures Of Rabbit King Original Character Series

The Adventures of Rabbit King Original Character Series is an innovative steampunk-themed narrative and character design project that masterfully blends industrial future-retro aesthetics with endearing rabbit characters to create a compelling dark humor series. Created by Chinese designer Zhang Xiao Yin, this distinctive visual communication project centers around the Rabbit King, a brave and wise protagonist created by Frankenstein, who embarks on a quest to find the legendary Blue Feather. The series, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category, represents a sophisticated exploration of storytelling through various mediums including vector graphics, 3D modeling, and sculptural elements. The project features meticulously crafted character designs with specific dimensions, including a 34 x 8 x 11cm Rabbit sculpture, 23 x 23 x 24cm Bird sculpture, and a 23 x 23 x 25cm Giant carrot sculpture, alongside digital assets. The narrative emphasizes themes of justice, wisdom, and the active pursuit of truth, while challenging conventional aesthetic boundaries by juxtaposing the mechanical harshness of steampunk with the inherent softness of rabbit characters. This creative tension serves to deliver visual impact while conveying messages about friendship, hope, and personal authenticity. The series demonstrates exceptional technical excellence in its execution, combining traditional design principles with contemporary digital techniques to create a cohesive and engaging visual universe that appeals to adult audiences while preserving the whimsical nature of fairy tales.
