3. Sustain investigation
How can I create a new kingdom form a world outlook based on character, environment and custom
design with digital media?
I am interested in character design and am good at designing realistic characters based on their
backgrounds. As a fan of Epic Fantasy Novels, I am amazed by the details that writers add to their works
while creating a huge and diverse world, which makes the story more interesting and engaging. In
stories aboutrevenge andforgiveness, suchas Beowulf, those who persist in revenge lose themselves
slowly, while those who learn to forgive can face and overcome difficulties.
I create the main characters of the story, plan their nationality, armed forces, and identities, and
designed the costumes and hairstyles of the characters based on these. #5 the character is a hunter, so I
opted for crisp, short hair, sporty clothes. I revised #8 adding light and shade to emphasize the
foreground figure showing the loss off humanity by removing her face. To ensure the unity of the story, I
started with awakening #6 and ended with death #14. I used the two main lines which are independent
but related to each other and are intertwined at the end to form the climax of the story.

10. Incarnation
This is where the story begins,
when Roxana picks up the
original blood that stored Solh's
sleeping soul, which begins to
awaken after seven hundred
years of silence. At the moment
of picking up the gem, Solh's
soul rushed into Roxana's body,
and the energy poured out due
to uncontrollable outflow,
forming the virtual shadow of
dragon and eyes, symbolizing
the two forces fighting for the
control of the body

enough so I revised the face by
removing it
I used blood to hint at Cecilia’s

12. The Fall
This painting shows the two periods of Cecilia so that
the audience can better understand the character's
past. As a former aristocratic lady, that is, in the frame,
she is demure and elegant, wearing a gorgeous dress.
Now Cecilia, after all her family members were killed by
the dragon clan, has become strong. Meanwhile, she
has been transformed by demon blood and is happy in
the killing. Through the comparison of the two periods
of the character, I not only introduced the character, but
also raised a question, why did the dragon clan kill her
family, and what was the secret of the seal of the dragon
clan?
13. the Seal
Seven hundred years ago,
Cecilia used the power of the
dragon to help the kingdom
expand its territory and
conquer foreign countries.
However, with the coming of
the night of dragon falling, all
the dragons were drained of
energy by original blood, and
Cecilia, as a half-dragon, was
forced to become the core of
the seal. She didn't know
whether it was right to do so,
and whether she was a hero of
the human race or a traitor of
the dragon race. She just fell
into darkness in endless
sadness.
14. mutualistic symbiosis
After a period of running in, Solh and Roxana gradually adapted
to living in the same body. Seven hundred years ago, the four
royal families stole the power of the dragon family on the night
of dragon falling. With the continuous inheritance and
development of the power, they not only made the energy of the
dragon family fully adapt to the human weak body, but also
could made a part of the body into dragon form. The dragon
power contained in Solh's soul further catalyzes Roxana's
ability to use the dragon's iconic blood moon field. Moreover, if
solh controls the body, she can simulate her dragon body
through soul power. As they spend more time together, this
power will become stronger and stronger until their souls are
fully integr

sense of ironic authority to

sanguinary nature
I used rule of third to create

16. Awakening
As a dragon hunting witch, Cecilia
vowed to kill all the dragons. She fell
asleep after the dragon clan died. Now,
with the awakening of the last solh,
Cecilia, who was sleeping in the demon
temple, was awakened by her inner
desire to kill. Today, 600 years later, the
hunting game began again.
17. Death
Fighting is inevitable. Now the only thing that supports
Cecilia to live is the desire to kill. She has lived for so
long that she has forgotten why she killed, and killing
has become her instinct. But she is also very old, even
she has a part of the demon blood, it is also a miracle
that she can live to be more than 1000 years old.
Perhaps her physical function has long been paralyzed.
Now she can maintain her life by burning her soul. As
Solh's spear Hades passed through Cecilia's body, she
finally remembered what happened thousands of years
ago. At that time, she was not called Cecilia. At that time,
she was still an heir to the title. At that time, she was
still surrounded by her family. At that time, she still had
a smile on her face. Now, with thousands of years of
torture and struggle, she has nothing, and death comes
quietly.
18. reconciliation
Reconciliation with yourself is the most painful, sometimes
involuntarily. Solh is the same. She doesn't know what she is.
The dragon think she is too weak, and humans are afraid of
her power. Even her parents are political marriages. She was
shocked. She no longer wanted to think about these problems,
so she became the spear of the Kingdom and obeyed all
orders. No matter how cruel and ruthless these orders were,
she could complete them perfectly. She felt in her heart that
if she did enough and good enough, human society might
accept her. But these false hopes were completely shattered
on the night of the Dragon falling. She lost almost all her
dragon compatriots, and the culprit of all this was herself. At
the same time, she was deceived by human beings and
became the core of the seal, which disappeared for 700 years.
But when she pierced Cecilia with a long gun, her soul was
exhausted and close to death, she finally reconciled with
herself. Death may really be a good medicine, it can make
people remember their life in an instant, and Solh saw her
young self and her "home" at this moment. she smiled.

Do noy wait the last minutes, time is not as wise as you think
Do not give up when you face some difficulties(especially when you write the SI for college board)
