这是我对温哥华 2010 年冬奥会吉祥物使用个人风格进行的二次创作。

当时我经常找各种吉祥物来进行二次创作——可能是受了对福娃进行二次创作蹭到了热度的激励？反正就是以今天看来过于热心吉祥物的一段时期。不过我在这段时期画的吉祥物在回顾时都觉得“看上去不太合适”，所以大部分都被我删掉了。温哥华的这几个因为是冬装，所以看上去还行，所以就保留下来了。

黑发的海熊米加 (Miga the Sea Bear) 的重新设计在我看来是亮点。我为她配了一身白色的冬装，配合日美卡通杂交的风格让她成了印象完全不同的角色——居然还挺好看的。如果我没有记错的话，我就是在这时意识到了头发不必画得五颜六色也可以很好看。这一次实验可能启发了我日后将爱理诗改成黑发，并且坚持笔下的本国纯人类角色必须黑发。没有一张图是白画的，对吧？

This is a fan art of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games mascots. I redesigned them using my personal art style.

I was very keen on drawing all sorts of mascots at the time, perhaps I was encouraged by the well-received 2008 Olympic Games mascots redesign attempt. However, when I was reviewing the mascots I drew in this time period, I thought most of them looked questionable, so I removed them from my gallery. The Vancouver one was kept because the winter outfit look appropriate.

Among the 4 characters in this picture, I think my redesign of Miga the Sea Bear (the black hair one) stood out. By giving her white costume and an art style in between anime and cartoon, I transformed her into something of her own, and I still think she looks quite nice.

If I remembered correctly, the redesign of Miga was the moment when I realized a character doesn’t have to be insanely colorful to look good. This experiment might have inspired me to change Alice Rosetta‘s hair color to black, and also insisted on giving all my Chinese characters black hair. This was a very important aesthetic change for me. I guess sometimes effort paid off in the most unexpected way.
