Chapter 416 Sketch and Selection
In fact, the image of the character set will not be exactly the same as the final appearance in the eyes of the player.
For example, the characters drawn by Yoshitaka Amano for "Final Fantasy" are not the same as the images in the game. This is because the characters have to be designed into two-dimensional or three-dimensional models by art designers before they are completed.
In most cases, the correlation between the two is still relatively large.
After getting the character setting and story background, Shen Xin seriously thought about the character's image, and discussed the character image with Ji Yinxuan and Guo Xin, and got a general understanding of the character.
After seeing off the three people, Shen Xin sat back at her workbench again and read Guo Xin's requirements for the characters.
There are a total of 32 characters, not to say that there are so many characters appearing in the game, but these 32 people are characters that promote the plot and will have many roles. As for NPCs such as village chiefs, villagers, and shopkeepers, Zhenyu Technology will Someone else is in charge.
The production team's requirements for these 32 people are very comprehensive. Needless to say, the length of the character's hair, height, race, and gender, other aspects, such as the character's weapons, clothing, protective gear, and accessories, must also be drawn in detail. In addition, the character has to be drawn from different angles.
After the manuscript is drawn, the production team will also review the characters, and the artist will make modifications according to the requirements of the production team.
For Shen Xin, the more troublesome thing is that he still has to draw "Steel Refining", so he has to try his best to finish the draft of "Steel Refining" during the day, and then design the line draft of "God's Fall" at night, and each The character also needs to design several different images for Ji Yinxuan to choose from.
In order to reduce the workload, Shen Xin's initial submission must be a line draft, and after confirmation, he will carry out detailed drawing and coloring.
So, say 32 characters, but at the time of drawing, there were far more than that number.
"Okay, are you satisfied?" Xi Muhan looked at Shen Xin who was starting to design the character, and muttered softly.
She was still worried that Shen Xin was too tired.
"Xiaohan." Shen Xin leaned over the desk to paint, but softly called Xi Muhan's name.
"Um?"
"Are there any books on European armor and clothing? Find some for me."
Xi Muhan thought for a while, the studio really didn't have these books, so he said to Shen Xin: "Brother Xin, what kind of books do you need, write them on paper, I'll go to the bookstore now."
Shen Xin also knew that time was tight, so she nodded, "Thank you."
"Why are you being polite to me?" Xi Muhan urged Shen Xin to quickly write down what he wanted to see on paper.
Whether it is painting or writing novels, the more details are involved, the more it can reflect whether the author is creating with his heart.
For example, if it is a historical novel, the place where the author's skill is reflected is the small things such as clothing, food, and appellation. Urban novels will be reflected in some common-sense content.
If these details are skipped, it is a normal operation, but since the author decides to write it out, the content cannot be made to be inconsistent, otherwise players or readers will easily play out.
The reason why Shen Xin is so careful is also to eliminate this sense of disobedience, otherwise, if there is a mistake, it will be really embarrassing - not only in the comic world, but also in the game world.
After taking over the work of "God's Fall", Shen Xin spent more than ten hours drawing every day during the few days of vacation. There was a thick stack of discarded manuscripts, and different images of the same character were drawn.
When Ji Yinxuan and Guo Xin came over again, they were also taken aback by the line draft drawn by Shen Xin. Although it was only a draft, the quality far exceeded their expectations.
The next day, the two took the drawing and discussed the character's image with the production team members, and then gave their opinions back to Shen Xin.
At first, the members complained about Ji Yinxuan's rejection of the artist recommended by the company, but after reading the line draft, they all shut up.
The submitted line draft has not yet been colored, but the tension of the characters is expressed through the paper and black and white lines.
After learning that the artist who made the character design was Shen Zheng, everyone shouted "No wonder".
"Only Teacher Shen has this kind of painting skills."
"I thought he was only good at drawing some more realistic comics, but I didn't expect the fantasy ones to be so good."
"I can tell that I have never seen Mr. Shen's new work. "Steel Refining" is also very exciting, and the drawing skills are superb. It is similar to the style of the later stage of "Soul of Chess", but the fluency of character fighting is not weaker than other top fighting comics. .”
"Shen Zheng...who is it?"
Not everyone likes to read domestic comics, so when someone hears the two "Shen Zheng", they will feel unfamiliar.
"The best cartoonist of the younger generation in China."
"Oh, I only read comics in District 11, although I don't read many comics in District 11..."
"Isn't it fake? Shen Zheng's "Steel Refining" was simultaneously serialized on "Youth Leap". It is very popular in District 11, and the sales of the three comics have exceeded 1.5 million copies."
"Huh? Really? No, I'll make up the manga later..."
Shen Xin designed different images for the same character, so Ji Yinxuan had to choose a character that fits the game.
But there are some characters that make Ji Yinxuan in a dilemma, and Guo Xin's views are similar to hers, because the characters designed by Shen Xin all meet his requirements.
"Too many high-quality character designs are also a headache." Ji Yinxuan rubbed her forehead.
At this moment, Charlotte walked into the office and tapped on the door twice.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yinxuan raised her head and looked at Charlotte suspiciously.
"The reporter from "Star Game" is here and wants to interview you." Charlotte said softly.
"Oh...how is my image now?" Ji Yinxuan straightened her hair.
"Perfect." Charlotte smiled.
"That's good." Ji Yinxuan stood up, "Go, go meet this reporter."
...
Wang Wenhong and Vrille agreed to meet at a coffee shop in the suburbs of Hongchuan.
The decoration of the cafe is simple and neat, with white and blue as the base colors, giving people a dreamy feeling.
Wang Wenhong has never seen a coffee shop with this kind of decoration. Since it is the location chosen by Vrille, he should live nearby.
Wang Wenhong was very curious about what this cartoonist named Vrille would look like, and how old was he?
Therefore, before Vrille appeared, Wang Wenhong had imagined Vrille many times in his mind, until a young man in his twenties appeared in front of him.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Wang Wenhong?"
Wang Wenhong nodded, stood up quickly, and looked at the young man who was about the same height as him.
He has black shattered hair, but you can see a few strands of hair dyed green, and he is wearing a white shirt. He was holding a blue down jacket with one arm, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, his eyes were not very big but very energetic, two small dimples appeared on his cheeks when he smiled, and he looked harmless.
"I am, may I ask you..."
"Hello, my name is Fu Bo, and my pseudonym is Helix, or Vrille." The young man chuckled lightly.
