Feb 06My son, Treeson

I would like to share my news with you. I don’t know how to begin the whole story, so here is my story:
In August 2005, when I was on my way to work, i think of a story and wrote down on my moleskine book.
I sketch the characters "Treeson" (樹子) and "Ren"(人仔) on the book, then I finished and published the short story (Treeson & Ren) on my blog a week later.
In September 2005, Wookie (a.k.a andy) approached me about a project – to make one of my characters to be a "TOY". I was overwhelmed by his proposal, and we chose "Treeson" finally.
Meanwhile, we encounter difficulties to convert a 2D character into a 3D one, and we amended the prototype of "Treeson" several times but we are still not satisfied with the prototype which made by the model maker. Luckily, Wookie is talented at model making, he try to use clay to make a prototype himself, and a lovely "Treeson" was born, and we decided to use Wookie’s prototype and sent it to the vendor for processing. (The picture show the Treeson prototype by Wookie)
Though the final "Treeson" is not yet ready, some of the toy/figure sites reported "Treeson" and it’s our pleasure that people are positive to "Treeson".
Recently, Wookie told me that his company would participate in Taipei Toy Fair (July 2006), and he would introduce "Treeson" and other toy "Tamo" produced by his company in the Toy Fair.
Btw, I think i will go to the Taipei Toy Fair in July, and if any of you would like to join me, please let me know. I am more than happy to share with you the happiness of launching my son, Treeson to the public
I do think i am too lucky to have this chance to get my character to be a toy, and i just want to share my happiness with my friends. i have to thanks Wookie for offering me this chance !

實在太好了 bubi, 很高興可以見到treeson變成真實的小玩意. 我想, 就算身邊你的朋友多為這件事快樂, 也比不上當你看見你的小babie終於出世!! I am so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ana, thank you so much! 朋友的支持和鼓勵也是推動我繼續創作的主要原因,其實完成Treeson & Ren的故事後我想我不會再畫故事,因腦袋和精神不能負荷,待Treeson 真正出世後,我想我會重整思緒,如果再想到我覺得想畫的故事時,或許會再拿起畫筆
多謝您一直的支持,感激萬分 !!!!

第一幅照的松果造型好有趣~
白色的松果, 豈不即是”雪松果”? ^o^

絲, 多謝支持!
sidekick, 對呀, 創作一個故事不是易事, 要全幅精神思考, 現在的我不能負擔這種創作, 將來會有機會的
對呀, Treeson站在一隻鹿型的樹旁, 但那幅相看不到是鹿型的

諗唔好咪唔好畫往,當你有idea想唔畫都難…….

很喜歡你創作的Treeson公仔和故事。雖然好悲情,但最後仍然有希望,好!能見到自己的2D設計變成3D,應該很快樂呢!祝好

小息,很高興你看到故事有希望,我想你是唯一一個與我的看法相同的,很多朋友都說我的故事太悲,謝謝你!
