Xu Yao is a Chinese illustrator, comics artist and game designer about whom I can find little biographical information. I don’t know what kind of projects the artwork I’ve encountered is associated with, but it is delightfully playful and beautifully conceived.
There is a recurring theme of characters interacting with exaggeratedly large objects like teapots and lanterns, I don’t know if the objects are intended to be large, or if the characters are small; I suspect the latter.
Xu Yao’s online presence, as far as I can tell, consists of a portfolio on ArtStation (for which the handle is “huachong”), and a gallery on Character Design References; both are linked below.
