Mechanical Leopard 3.0 A First Attempt at Small-Batch Production

This is the first work in which I truly achieved small-batch production.
Throughout the process, the design went through three major iterations, each one refining the structure, proportions, and mechanical logic, in search of a more stable and life-like state of movement.

The development of Mechanical Leopard 3.0 took one and a half years.
It was not a process driven by speed, but by constant testing, revision, rejection, and reconstruction. Each adjustment was an attempt to explore whether a mechanical system could express a sense of motion that feels closer to life—controlled, restrained, yet alive.

During this journey, I came to understand something important:
my work is something people can genuinely connect with.

The attention and support from different parts of the world allowed me to clearly feel that these objects—built with time, focus, and emotion—do not exist only within my own inner world.
For this, I am deeply grateful to everyone who has followed, understood, and supported this work.

At the end of 2025, I decided to stop the production of Mechanical Leopard 3.0.
It has fulfilled its purpose within this stage of my creative path.

This, however, is not an ending.
Based on the experience gained from this project, I will continue to develop Mechanical Leopard 4.0, pushing the series toward a new phase in structure, expression, and mechanical logic.

For me, creation is not a temporary pursuit.
I will devote the rest of my life to realizing my creative vision.

Mechanical Leopard 3.0 feels like a sealed fragment of time.
It documents the moment when an idea that lived in my mind for years finally became a physical object—one that can be reproduced, completed, and owned by others.
