Art elements

Three Kingdoms poster

The first version of the Three Kingdoms game characters and props are stylized. Previously, these elements were copied from the Three Kingdoms online game, and if they were mass-produced and sold, they would inevitably be subject to copyright infringement lawsuits. Therefore, Huang Kai began to follow his own understanding of the Three Kingdoms characters, combined with the image of these characters in the movie and television themes, hand-painted a set of cards, and applied for copyright protection. The drawing of the newly designed game cards adopts the traditional Chinese ink and wash style blended with modern pen sketching, with a combination of writing and brushwork. In the midst of boldness, there is no loss of elegance. The general cards of "Three Kingdoms" are the masterpieces of six illustrators. Unlike the thick ink rendering of "Zheng Wen Three Kingdoms" and the Japanese-style carving of "Glorious Three Kingdoms", each general in "Three Kingdoms" has the illustrator's strong personal style.
