tldr; Anyone know who the artist was for early Mabi art and characters?
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know who the character designer was for Mabinogi for the early Generations? Do they still work at devCAT? Do they have an artist page somewhere?
I've been trying to find out who the artist/character designer is since I started playing Mabi, but have had no luck finding a Pixiv/Twitter/art dump/etc.
From the NA G1 credits video the character designer is listed as "Popcorn Kang."
From the KR G1 credits video the character designer is listed as "Ghang, Young-hwa."
Googling those names (in both English and Korean) only leads to references that "Popcorn" is the artist's nickname, and "ê°•ì˜í™”" (Young-hwa Ghang) is their real name. I haven't been able to find a trace of any of the original artwork outside of the few that Nexon released and ripping game files.
I feel that Mabi has been dying due to the change in direction over the past years, but I wanted to see if the original developers and designers moved on to something new with as much character as the original Mabi did. Any info about the original Character Designer(s), Art Director, and Director and what they're working would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
