My Cartoonist Guide
Chapter 414: Try to change
After sending away Ji Yinxuan, Xi Muhan was unhappy.
Shen Xin didn't know, so after asking several times, Xi Muhan said, "Brother Xin, you will be very tired if you do this."
"No." Shen Xin shook his head, "Actually, you have seen it recently. Due to the use of a pen display, the speed of creating comics has been much faster, but sometimes, being faster is not a good thing. While increasing the speed, it will indeed affect some basic skills, so I wanted to get back the dip pen and draw some characters."
"But I usually practice privately, isn't it okay?" Xi Muhan asked puzzledly.
"First of all, the degree of seriousness of the painting is different, and the quality of the drawing practice draft is not as good as the official draft. Secondly, I don't want to be constrained by the current style of painting."
"What do you mean?" Xi Muhan asked puzzledly.
"That is to say, we must keep pace with the times. While maintaining the basic skills, we must also broaden the style of painting, because I never know what type of comics will be next." Shen Xin said seriously.
Not to mention other people, even Ken Obata, his painting style has been changing.
Let’s not mention the "Super Mobile Grandpa g" and "Puppet Master Detective Sakon" drawn by Ken Obata before. If you start with "Goss Soul", the styles of the front and back will be quite different. Another example is the painting style in the later period of "The Soul of the Game", which is in the same line as the painting style of "Deathnote", but the use of gray is more careful.
This style has been maintained until the early stage of "Dream Eater", and in the later stage of "Dream Eater", Obata Ken's style of painting is more simplified.
Therefore, if a cartoonist does not always think about how to improve himself, sooner or later, he will be eliminated by the times.
Even Shen Xin...no, it is precisely because he has seen the ups and downs of many cartoonists and the ups and downs of Internet gods that he has this kind of sentiment.
It is difficult for anyone to maintain a high level.
If he doesn't keep pace with the times, then sooner or later he will be caught up by others behind him.
He hates this feeling.
Xi Muhan was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something.
"What's wrong with you?" Shen Xin asked curiously.
"Me?" Xi Muhan looked up at Shen Xin, "I was wondering, did I have a too easy life. From the beginning of writing, it has been smooth and smooth, but before I knew it, I fixed my own style. "
"Do you want to make some changes?" Shen Xin asked.
"Do you change "The Kingdom of Sophora"?"
"Of course not. Readers who bought "The Country of Sophora" will keep watching it because they like your style. Don't change "Guotu". Besides, changing rashly is not necessarily a good thing at first sight. To lay a good foundation, read more related books." Shen Xin reminded.
No matter what it is, it is always a risk to change the style.
Some Internet authors who have achieved achievements on the planet will also be shunned by changing the type or style of the Internet. However, over time, some routines are fixed, and after a period of time, these routines will affect the author's development.
"Well, I see." Xi Muhan nodded.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Shen Xin scratched his head.
"What?" Xi Muhan blinked his big eyes and looked at Shen Xin puzzledly.
"Xiao Han, I remember you belonged to the History Department?" Shen Xin asked.
Xi Muhan nodded repeatedly.
"Have you studied European and American history?" Shen Xin asked.
"Learned."
"That's good. If I accept the invitation of the senior sister, I may need some knowledge of European and American history. Then help me look at it. You can tell me in advance what materials are needed, and if English is involved, please help me translate." Shen Xin said embarrassedly.
Speaking of it, a bad foreign language makes him very embarrassed.
When other people travel to another world, they will have an advantage in language, either they can or they learn foreign languages quickly. He doesn't account for either, which is really a headache.
"I got it." Xi Muhan was so happy that he was finally able to help Shen Xin.
Shen Xin looked at the happy Xi Muhan between his eyebrows. He was confused and asked twice. When Xi Muhan didn't say anything, he had to give up, find out the dip pen and ink, and start to practice the feel of the g pen.
...
Wang Wenhong has been busy with vrille in recent days.
First, I wrote a private message with vrille and asked if he was the former "Spiral" teacher.
Vrille was also surprised. He didn't expect someone to know "Spiral", and then he confessed.
"I am the editor in charge of "cicfuture" and would like to see you." Wang Wenhong left a message directly.
Vrille thought for a while and agreed, and the two agreed to meet at a cafe on the weekend.
After finishing all this, Wang Wenhong took a deep breath, and the things in his mind let go a little bit. Just before he was about to take a bath and sleep, Shen Xin called again.
"Ms. Shen, I'm sorry, I've been busy with other things recently, so there is less time to find you." Wang Wenhong said with a smile.
"It's okay, my side is also fine."
"When this period of time is over, I'll go to find you to make a meal..." Wang Wenhong said.
"No hurry, you can help yourself first. I called you to tell you something."
Ok?
Wang Wenhong suddenly became nervous.
Not long ago, Wang Yunze determined that he would no longer serialize the novel. Jia Hui was five years old in an instant. He still felt sorry for Jia Hui, but Shen Xin called again today, which made his heart hang again.
"What's the matter?"
"That's it. This afternoon, the senior sister-that is, Miss Ji Yinxuan-came to me and asked me to help design the character set for the game "Goddess". I thought about it and thought I could give it a try. Let me tell you Come on. The contract does not restrict me to set up for other companies, so it is not a breach of contract, right?" Shen Xin explained ~lightnovelpub.net~ eh?
Wang Wenhong quickly sorted out Shen Xin's words.
First of all, Shen Xin did not say anything about "Cicfuture" and "Steel Refining", indicating that "Steel Refining" is a normal serialization. Secondly, Shen Xin wanted to draw the character of "Goddess", and there is no competition with "cicfuture".
just--
"Are you busy?" Wang Wenhong asked back.
"No problem, I will figure it out myself." Shen Xin said.
Wang Wenhong scratched his head, he had something in his heart but he didn't know how to say it.
The contract between Shen Xin and the magazine was signed before, but he has never drew a personal design for a game company. This should be the first time.
Therefore, Shen Xin didn't need to tell him about this at all. The reason for saying so should be to avoid embarrassment later.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Wenhong thought for a long time, but decided to call Shang Haozhi.
This is not a small report, but Shang Haozhi, as his boss, has the right to know about this matter, and it is impossible to hide this matter.
Rather than let Shang Haozhi be forced to know, it is better to tell him in advance. In this way, it is acceptable to both him and Shen Xin.
After receiving the call from Wang Wenhong, Shang Haozhi was silent for a while, and finally said, "I see, you have to do more dim sum to ensure that the quality of "Steel Refining" will not drop."
The most important thing he has to do now is to stop the loss.
Shen Xin has the right to design a character for the game, which has been drawn up in the contract. At the same time, because Shen Xin created the character for "Goddess", in a short time, he was unable to draw a new cartoon, "Steelmaking" still has to be serialized on "cicfuture", this is the most important thing.
"The Legend of the Dragon King" will end soon, "cicfuture" can no longer lose other signature comics.
