An animated music video created for HoYoFair 2025 (January 1, 2025), featuring Jing Yuan and Mimi, his white snow lion, from Honkai: Star Rail.
The Honkai: Star Rail HoYoFair 2025 was designed to be a program full of music videos. I pitched the story and concept of Mimi and JIng Yuan and the song and lyrics were created around it and the storyboards for it.

As the lead on this project, I was in charge of the concept, storyboard, direction, and design for the MV, working closely with the HoYoFair team to portray the Honkai: Star Rail characters within the story of Mimi as hinted at and told through in-game lore. I put together a small team of animators and background artists and served as director and animation lead over 3 months of production.



character designs
With existing official and in-game art, pre-production entailed creating character designs suitable for animation while also retaining core character elements and interpreting designs for various ages and alternative outfits.
