作品名稱：〈奇美拉降臨〉（The Chimera）

作品介紹：

傳說中的奇美拉(Chimera)，是希臘神話中會噴火的怪物，也被認為是「獅面龍尾羊」，而我心中默默的小願望是有生之年或許可以看到實體的誕生。當初畫的想法是想把奇幻的動物們放在一個城市中，而奇美拉便猶如動物裡的皇族一般，君臨動物物界的生物。大概就像是動物界的巨星一般吧。

The legendary Chimera is a fire spouting creature from Greek mythology, and has also been described as “a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail with a snake's head.” And a tiny dream of mine is to maybe someday see this mythical creature brought to life in reality. When I was doing this drawing, I envisioned a city where mythical creatures reside, and the Chimera is of course the royalty of them all. I think the Chimera is definitely the rock star of all living or mythical animals.
