Featured on MOUNT ZINE, this conceptual illustration ZINE explores the journey of the "Sticker Kaiju"—creatures with a love for colorful, sparkling objects. The narrative follows their unique form of mourning: when a Sticker Kaiju consumes a sticker, they experience the "flavor" of a memory. By doing so, they inherit and purify those memories, transforming the act of loss into a cycle of remembrance.
The work blends a vibrant, pop-aesthetic with an underlying sense of melancholy, capturing the balance between the "cute" exterior of the characters and the deeper, sentimental themes of their world. This publication serves as a key entry point into the lore of the AO universe, translating 3D character concepts into a physical, storytelling format.
