Working with Stink Studios and Final Frontier, Italian studio Nerdo summons their illustrative and narrative talents for this revival of seven legends from Chinese mythology for a literary initiative between Tencent and Yuewen group.

From the team at Nerdo: “The stories seamlessly move from one to the next via fluid transitions, rendered with a hand-drawn look, silhouettes, and animated ink and grain textures inspired by traditional Chinese art conventions.”
