  • To Liby, who is super enthusiastic to the arts, computer graphics becomes the best way of expression for him. Video cutting, post-processing, special effects making, 3D modeling and rendering are all so familiar to him.

    Everytime he sees the professional CG arts from the movies, anime, and the works from others, he will realize that he still have lots of limit on expressing his idea through CG. Thus, he begins to practice this skill daily, willing that at some time, he will be able to achieve that extent.

He loves the minimalism and anime styles. So he starts practicing and learning theories of design ideas and utilize them in every aspect of his works.
