Illustrative Style Frames revolving around the idea of Quixotic unrequited love between man and nature.

Quixotic when defined means "exceedingly idealistic", "impractical", "starry-eyed" and "romantic", With this knowledge I wished to address a quixotic relationship between man and nature. I wanted to capitalize on the idea of "unrequited love". This idea of not having the ability to properly give back the feeling you have towards another person or in this case the environments utter beauty, is what I chose to display in these style frames.
This is a storyboard for the potential motion piece entitled Jjaksarang 짝사랑 (One-sided Love). Originally inspired by the song Jjaksarang 짝사랑 (One-sided Love) sung by the sobering songstress Lee Hi and written by the brilliant Sunwoo Jungah; these style frames incorporated the vulnerable lyrics Sunwoo produced into the overall composition providing an ethereal quality to the overall piece. In essence this piece was created with this concept in mind: the awakening of ones fantasy of love for someone special, by the reality that it may all be felt by ones own self alone.
