Project NAGA
Hi! This is little naga from Team
NAGA. This thread is an interest check for our upcoming
deskmats of Project NAGA. This is our first project and we
hope to learn as much from the process! Project NAGA, a
home-grown deskmats project brought to life with the
intricate style of art from Malaysian
illustrator/animator Milton, with inspiration sparked
from our cultural background and wild imaginations.
This
post is mainly to share the designs with the community and
to find out if you guys are interested in it and the designs
are feasible for sale!
Design Inspiration
NAGA, derived from the word
‘serpent’ in Sanskrit, exists in different religions,
cultures and folklore, especially in Chinese culture in
Malaysia. It often represents ‘dragon’, which is a depicture
of power, strength, propitious, prosperity and an auspicious
sign. It is the heart of the project, to encase the mythical
creature onto the tabletop.
The design of the deskmats
are based on the depiction of dragons from Chinese folklore,
with features that are different from other dragons in other
types of dragons in various folklore, including the four
legs, anthropomorphic facial features with beards and
wingless. Instead of having scales, the artist took a twist
on designing the skin with a jade-like texture, further
imbuing deeper meanings as jade represents beauty, grace,
renewal, longevity and immortality. The jade-like texture on
the lively dragons offers the meaning of a transition from
an object such as a jade statue, but slowly coming to life.
The dragons hold two Wish-Fulfilling pearls, with
inspirations from the Dragon Ball and Chinese culture, where
the pearls represent the radiance of the sun that brings
luminance to all darkness and grants true joy.
The
words in the background bring in the idea of the basic
elements of the universe which are Fire, Water, Wood, Earth.
These elements are believed to be the fundamental elements
of everything in the universe between which interactions
occur. As appears in the background of the designs, it only
consists of Fire, Water, Wood and Earth. The final element
will be your prized keyboard, to complete the cycle of the
elements.
