About
About Melange
Melange works across dragon, snake, phoenix, koi, whale, flower, cloud, lightning, and pattern designs, all built around the same wave motion and blue color palette.
Every design is drawn to fit the shape and movement of its placement rather than a fixed template. Reference images are a starting point, not something to copy. Each piece is redrawn in Melange's own line work and color.
Style & Process
How each piece is made
Style
- Recurring subjects: dragon, snake, phoenix, koi, whale, flowers, clouds, lightning, pattern

- Reference is reworked, not copied
Process
- Stencil and freehand are both used, depending on the piece
- Base elements are prepared ahead of time
