这是个人早期作品系列“绿洲镇”的其中一张图。描绘了某个山谷的湖畔小镇的景色。骑着浮游摩托车的狐狸角色名叫“法雅”。

“绿洲镇”是 2000 年前后就开始存在的概念，它的主要卖点有两个：纯兽人类的角色、自然与文明交融的背景。与当时的许多以兽人为创作对象的系列作品一样，它构思一些远离都市喧嚣的舞台，描绘可爱的兽人和美景，也就是所谓的“治愈系”。

因为当时我的美术功底不行，绿洲镇系列的大部分都没有表现出我心目中想象的景色。留下来的少数几张效果比较好的带有很大的运气成分在里面。而且对于“纯兽人”的执着，说不定只是因为我当时没有人体基础，画兽人可能比较容易糊弄过去？

绿洲镇始终缺乏一个清晰的世界观设定，反复登场的角色也没有明确的个性，也没有一个想要通过此作品表达何种思想的故事。我一直以来只是笼统地将所有不是机器人的画归类到它下面。或许它只是代表我早期创作中的某种“逃避主义”的想法吧。

2024 年初，绿洲镇终于被概念更加明确的“千变灵兽”系列所取代。

This is an early work from my now discontinued Oasis series. The little fox in the picture is called Faia. The background is a small lakeside town at the bottom of a valley.

The Oasis series started around 2000. It featured cute anthropomorphic animal characters, detailed backgrounds where civilization mixed with nature, and a relaxed atmosphere.

My art skills were severely lacking at the time. Most artworks in Oasis series failed to reflect what was in my mind, and they looked terrible today. Only a few good ones were kept in the gallery.

Oasis also lacked world building, and there was no story. Its focus on cute characters and relaxed life felt like a project of escapism.

At the beginning of 2024, Oasis was replaced by Spirit Animals in Disguise, a project with much clearer intent.
