[with HJMT] Flonet — Das Alte und das Neue

About HJMT / About Flonet

Some Plaman designs, before and after a design philosophy change. Characters were more casually designed in the past, but more recent designs take more heavier inspiration of their original species. 

Vienna Bean (Kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris)

Hazia → Narut Baraem (Clover, Trifolium)

[with HJMT] Flonet — "Korean Wildflowers" series

Main cast of HJ's discontinued RPG "RaHS" (actual title is secret!)
A majority of them are from his "Korean Wildflowers" project: for every single wildflower in the encyclopedia, he made a rough design, and then he selected the best 16. He has at least a metre-tall stack of paper of just character design sketches made this period, I should be as diligent as him!
 
The artstyle was inspired by @chidajunsei3163's World Cup caricatures.

창살 사이로 보였어.

공사장 주변 노란빛으로 빛나는 풍경이 얄미워보였지.

그때 결심했어.'

[with HJMT] Oh!-No! Food Fighters!! (2019~21)

About HJMT

Oh!-No! Food Fighters!! - Synopsis

Solar-powered robots have enslaved humanity. Food was replaced by mind-controlling energy pills that made humans forget taste. The joy of cooking and dining was long forgotten...but the spirits of food have gathered in an bunker to build an army. They were food fighters—literally food that fights back!

Not all food was aggressive enough for the frontlines—the mightiest food soldiers were those of acquired taste. Both good and bad(but especially bad), the strong memories of humans that ate these foods were the source of their strength. Scouts traveled all over the world to gather the troops. Raisins, insects, cucumber, blue cheese, pineapple pizza...could they bring humans back to the kitchen table?

It all started in 2019 when HJ made a series of food of acquired taste personified as literal food fighters. And he specially allowed me to design one of them: the yogurt!

It wasn't originally meant to be an Bulgarian yogurt, but since I was interested in folk costumes at the time, I decided to add a 'folk' flavor to it. The large machine was inspired by costumes & masks worn by the Kukeri.

And here he is with the rest of the crew!

The project was abandoned for a while, but it was revived in 2021 with the current title Oh!-No! Food Fighters!! The project now had a plot, and even more characters joined the army.

I designed some of the allies, and one of them was the notorious surströmming.
