这张图是我大学毕业前后的早期作品之一，想要表现一种在世界已经毁灭后的雪原上孤独旅行者的氛围，它可以说是日后个人作品“电子之心”的世界观的雏形。

“电子之心”的构思大概在 2000 年前后就开始了，但早期的内容主要是探索各种各样的机器人造型，故事方面几乎没有准备，处于一种随意效仿其他知名科幻作品的状态。

2008 年前后，可能是因为美术功底不好的问题开始暴露出来，我似乎想通过设定文字来补足美术的短板。但是这些尝试并不成功。我当时在思想、写作、美术等所有与创作相关的领域均缺乏能力，处在一种“无话可说，也没有办法把话说好”的状态中。做出来的东西都比较肤浅。绝大部分来自这一时期的早期设定我都没有留下继续展示，因为我自己看了感觉很尴尬。

这一张图之所以会留下，首先是它正确把握到了某种氛围，而且它的情感是真诚的——这在当年我画的东西中是不多见的。它的雪原化的地球的想象在日后经过反复的修改、打磨，最终形成了现在的“电子之心”。图中的这个北极狐角色则是日后兔型机器人白云的雏形。

This picture was created back in 2008, around the time I graduated from college. I attempted to capture a feeling of a lonely traveler on the snowfield under the pale moonlight and aurora. It can be interpreted as the precursor of the later Electric Hearts world building.

Although I began working on Electric Hearts since around 2000, but I mainly explored various robot designs in the early days. Nothing notable happened on the story side, I was still borrowing ideas from existing sci-fi titles.

In 2008, my lack of art foundation became more and more problematic. I was unable to competently express my ideas through art, so I attempted to create text based concepts as a supplement to my pictures. But at the time, I didn’t have good writing skills either, and I probably had nothing to write about — because I had no social experience or philosophical reflections. Whatever I wrote back then didn’t age well, so I decided to remove them when I clean up the old works from my gallery.

I keep this picture in my gallery because it successfully captured a certain atmosphere and mood that felt genuine — a rare sight among my early works. The snowfield later became part of Electric Hearts’ core settings. The arctic fox character in this picture became Cloud White, one of the key characters of the project.
