Started as a comics editor

Chapter 166 This comic...

Chu Yuxin saw Tang Yao bent over the desk and started drawing without disturbing her.

Tang Yao was indeed fast and completed the line drawing quickly.

After all, she worked in art in her previous life and was familiar with the relevant techniques.

Chu Yuxin stood aside and watched quietly, and soon she saw what was happening.

The painting by my boss should be... the Dragon Girl?
on the screen.

The original painting took shape quickly, and Chu Yuxin blinked.

And after the character is completely formed.

Tang Yao thought about it and started drawing the card frame again, roughly referring to the Hearthstone card frame design. The upper left corner is the cost, the lower left corner is the attack, the lower right corner is the health, and the gem-shaped pattern in the middle indicates the rarity of the card.

Subsequently.

She placed the character she had just drawn into the card frame, adjusted it, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked, "How is it?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuxin looked at the screen. In the center of the card, there was a beautiful girl with a strong exotic style, wearing red ferocious armor, full of mystery and powerful beauty. She seemed to be confronting someone with a solemn expression.

Overall, the expression of light and shadow structure is more detailed and three-dimensional than flat painting, and the light and shadow contrast is more realistic.

But it also has a distinct two-dimensional style, especially the face.

the most important is.

When this illustration is combined with the card frame, there is no sense of incongruity at all, and the cheap feeling of using flat illustrations is gone. It is unexpectedly suitable.

Chu Yuxin's eyes lit up slightly. "Beautiful! Really good! This is much more suitable than the illustrations I drew! This art style is definitely good. Which card is this?"

"Hmm... Alexstrasza, the Red Dragon Queen."

Tang Yao hesitated for a moment and replied.

Although overall, a lot of techniques from previous lives were referenced.

But this character was indeed her original creation.

Mainly, there is no reference... The original red dragon is just a dragon.

"So, this is the style?"

Chu Yuxin was a little excited, and her thick eyebrows raised slightly: "I think I understand... Can you send it to me? I will discuss it with other artists, and then draw a few in your style to see the effect and difficulty."

Tang Yao agreed directly: "Okay."

"but……"

Chu Yuxin hesitated for a moment and added, "Although it's a pseudo-impasto painting, I just observed that it's more complicated to paint than ordinary flat painting. We definitely can't match your speed..."

No matter how many times I see Tang Yao's speed.

She felt horrified.

So even though she knew Tang Yao's character, Chu Yuxin couldn't help but remind her.

I’m afraid that Tang Yao will really ask the art team to work at her own pace.

Then Chu Yuxin had to kowtow to Tang Yao and ask her to let her go.

"I know, this is just an example. You can discuss it and see if it can be streamlined and optimized."

Tang Yao agreed, then thought of something and said, "Also, you can be lazy with some cards. It's not that they can't be drawn in detail, but there's no need to use this style for all of them. For example, some prop-type cards. Do you remember the costumes in FGO? Not all of them have characters. Simple items just need to maintain a consistent art style."

"understood."

Chu Yuxin nodded seriously, and after Tang Yao sent her the original painting, she immediately returned to the project team and started communicating with other artists.

And quickly.

Probably because the original painting of the first card came out, Si Jinliang and others were also attracted over, and then many people from the "Dou Pai" project team went to watch.

Everyone seems to think it’s good.

After seeing this scene, Tang Yao felt relieved. She looked at the original painting on the screen again and thought about it.

...Hesitating whether to draw a few more pictures for Chu Yuxin's reference.

After all, there are not only dragons in the original Hearthstone, but also some miscellaneous creatures.

What demons, orcs, ancient gods...

Since the art style is determined to change, these should also change. However, when she was considering it.

Li Xue's figure appeared.

Tang Yao noticed this and temporarily suppressed the urge to continue painting. She turned her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How is it?"

"Fortunately."

Li Xue shook her head slightly. "But Teacher Rumi's mother... well, that's quite unexpected."

Tang Yao was a little curious: "Did they give you a hard time?"

"That's not the case."

Li Xue sat down. "She's quite polite, and her treatment is impeccable. She doesn't seem narrow-minded, and she hasn't been unreasonable about the share of the profits. The only problem is that she wants us to specify in detail in the contract what exactly Rumi-sensei needs to do for the joint event, itemizing it one by one, and including the approximate completion time for each task..."

He seemed to mind this very much, even to the point of refusing to give in, as if he was afraid that we would waste Teacher Rumi's time.

I explained to her that it is difficult to define how long it will take to complete this kind of collaborative activity that requires the cooperation of the original author. For example, for the collaborative plot, we don’t know how long it will take Mr. Rumi himself to write it, so we can only stipulate corresponding obligations.

But she still wouldn’t budge.”

"..."

Tang Yao recalled the look on Teacher Rumi's face when she was on the phone in the cafe, and vaguely guessed something.

Just as she expected, Rumi has a strong mother...

Think of this.

Tang Yao shook her head gently. "How about this? You discuss it with Teacher Rumi. Since her mother is so concerned, give her a time she can accept. Anyway, privately, we should mostly communicate online."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Li Xue nodded: "I'll contact them right away."

Say it.

She picked up the phone directly.

Tang Yao didn't say anything else, nor did she continue to think about Rumi.

There was no point in her thinking about this kind of thing, after all, she was someone else's mother... and she didn't have the energy to take care of this kind of thing for the time being.

The company's second game is currently in production.

FGO's first collaborative card pool is also on the agenda.

Besides that, she also draws comics.

I don’t have the energy.

But fortunately... although there are a lot of things to do, everything is going smoothly!
A cooperation intention was reached for the linked card pool.

The underlying framework, gameplay, art, and plot of the second game have been roughly confirmed.

Not to mention comics.

Next, as long as there are no major accidents and everything proceeds step by step, it is estimated that in the spring after the Spring Festival... there will be another big wave for players!

……

Tang Yao had a good idea.

However, the first ones to sense that something big was coming were not the gamers.

But ANF comic readers...

The ANF comics section has indeed seen some improvement as the activities have progressed.

Although many cartoonists are still waiting and watching, there are also some brave ones... who bet that the ANF comics section can be successful, and thus signed a contract with ANF to start serialization.

However, due to the short time of serialization, we can’t see much about their works at present.

However, "Chainsaw Man", which was the first to be serialized, is beginning to get better.

then.

Readers will find that after a brief foreshadowing... the plot of "Chainsaw Man" gradually reveals its unique absurd and neurotic style! And begins to push this characteristic to a climax!
This comic... isn't right.
