GYUPPIIMART
An original illustration series inspired by convenience stores , traveling and adventures in Japan!
"GYUPPII" = the artist name "MART" = small version of market.
This is FUJI, a shy but very sweet apple once you get to know them!
Fuji likes to wear the fruit net padding like a sweater to keep them dry and clean.
The world of P4WTOWN
P4WTOWN is an original character group illustrated by a group of four artists! Inspired by kpop idols and boybands, these artists decided to create a catboy idol group named P4WTOWN. Consisting of 4 members, "P4W" is a way to spell the word paw and including the 4 idol members.SEIYA : Original character illustrated by GYUPPII
Concept Art of Album 1: Self TitledOur artist group debuted our catboys with a sporty concept! I was in charge of designing the album cover and CD!
Concept Art of Album 2: Cat & MouseThis comeback concept was more "Boy next door" so we wanted the boys to feel more playful. We really pushed for a pink dreamy color palette this time around!I was in charge of illustrating the tour poster, character sheet and acrylic stage which was a prize that included all the catboy members.
Concept Art of mini album 3: [EP] PLAYMy friend and I @sadkidsplayground decided to create a sub-unit group with our characters Seiya and Yuji ! They have a mini comeback album called "PLAY" and it's school boyband concept this time.I designed the album cover and illustrated Seiya in a yearbook and school ID photo!
