Chapter 361: Ghost Soldiers Are Sharp
Harusa looked at the illustration. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The painting depicts the scene where the "righteous brother" shows his skills for the first time, defeats the hooligans, and protects the "righteous sister".
At first glance, it looks quite bold, especially the expression of the "righteous brother" is very well portrayed, a little cold but not too fierce. The punching poses are handsomely drawn, and the costume details are well drawn......
"What do you think?" asked Saki.
"It's a good illustration. "But I can draw better." ”
There was confidence in his tone.
The quality of the picture was good, but if he had been asked to paint the same scene, he believed he could have done better.
The female editor blinked.
Harusa then took out the picture he had brought, put it on the table, and moved it to the other party.
When Saki saw this painting, her eyes froze.
She slowly picked up the drawing, looked at it carefully, and looked at it for a long time.
"Outstanding. ”
After reading it, the female editor commented.
"If you draw at this level, then you're more suitable than Ghost Soldier to be an illustrator for Brother Story. ”
"I'm sure I'll be able to draw them all. Harusa said firmly.
"I trust your self-confidence, Wilderness. Saki looked at him, "Let's go see the ghost soldier teacher and talk to him to get his understanding." ”
Harusa nodded.
This kind of thing is better to say sooner rather than later.
……
The ghost soldier is sharp, his real name is Tanaka Victory, and he is now twenty-two years old, and he feels that his life so far is completely unworthy of the name "Victory".
Ordinary appearance.,Introverted personality.,Not good at socializing.,From elementary school to high school, I live like air.,It's an existence that is almost unnoticed.。 No friends, but no enemies, no welcome or bullying, one step away from the bottom or the edge.
He felt lonely, but not very painful, because communicating with people was a hassle for him, and it was good to live unobtrusively, and to be able to fully immerse himself in his hobbies.
He is very fond of comics, and has been determined to become a cartoonist since his second year of junior high school, and has been contributing since high school, and finally won a "masterpiece" award in his third year of high school, and his work was published for the first time.
It was the most glorious moment of Tanaka's life, his first "victory" since he was born.
After that, he gave up going to university and moved to the city to live in a rented house on his own, working hard to serialize manga in magazines.
Four years have passed.
Not to mention approaching the target, it looks like it is getting farther and farther away.
The manuscript that I worked so hard to draw was either told that I couldn't do it, or I couldn't get good results in the selection, and I was hit again and again.
Feeling numb to failure, feeling at a loss for the future, not knowing where the direction is, is his current state.
Recently, Tanaka received a commission to illustrate an upcoming light novel, and the request was to draw it as soon as possible.
After seeing this novel, Tanaka was deeply fascinated.
Fantastically written!
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he read the light novel so excitedly.
Because he was so excited, Tanaka even stayed up late to paint and drew a lot of sketches. It is not only the scenes of this novel, but also the various inspirations, characters and pictures that it inspires.
He recalls the joy of drawing comics at the beginning, and has the feeling of rediscovering his original enthusiasm.
After getting tired, I fell asleep, and after getting up, I took care of my personal hygiene, filled my stomach, and began to seriously illustrate this novel called "Brother Story".
This novel is sure to be a big hit!" Tanaka concluded.
Due to the many blows he has received, he has little confidence in his eyesight, but even so, he has a hunch that the novel must be a hit or even a hit.
Receiving a commission to illustrate this novel is a rare luck, and we must cherish it and do our best to draw it.
He had finished drawing the first illustration and was working on the second when he received a call from the novel's editor asking to send the finished illustration.
I want to see the quality of the paintings. Tanaka thought so and immediately sent the painting over.
However, it didn't take long for me to get another phone call, saying that I wanted to come over and talk to the author of the novel!
Tanaka was shocked.
Is that illustration that bad? and let the editor and author rush over at once!?
He felt nervous.
It didn't take long for some calm to return, though. He is used to being denied, and although it is the first time that he has been approached by the editor and author of the novel, it is nothing more than listening to the criticism of the other party and making improvements.
Boil the water, make the tea, and wait for the guests.
After a while, the doorbell rang.
Tanaka was mentally prepared and went to open the door.
"Hello, Ghost Soldier Teacher, excuse me. The cold and glamorous beauty in a trench coat greeted politely, and then raised her hand to the side, "This is the author of the novel 'Brother Story', Kishibe Xianyuan." ”
Tanaka looked at the young man standing beside her.
This young man is tall and handsome, his eyes are full of energy, the corners of his mouth are a trace of gentle arc, and the whole person is very handsome, like an idol in a TV series.
"Hello, first meeting, Ghost Soldier Sensei. The handsome young man also greeted him politely.
"Hello...... First meeting, Mr. Kishibe. ”
Tian Zhongli marveled at the other party's good looks, and then thought of the male protagonist of "Brother Story", and felt that this young man must be very suitable if he cos, it is simply a realistic projection of the handsome protagonist!
No, it should be said the other way around, the protagonist of the novel was actually created by this handsome young man based on himself, right?
Tanaka felt that this was very likely.
The creator sets the protagonist based on himself, which can maximize the substitution, so that the character can be portrayed more easily. He did it himself, but it didn't get good reviews.
The creator substitutes the protagonist, and even if the protagonist is portrayed better based on this, it does not mean that the character will be charming...... Especially if the creator himself has no charisma.
And when the protagonist who takes himself as the prototype is denied or criticized, the creator is hurt several times more than the fictional protagonist!
Tanaka had suffered, so it was painful to comprehend.
People who don't know how to do it may think that this is a natural thing to do, but in fact, the creators who dare to do it are either unharmed, narcissistic or truly brave...... At least that's what he thinks now.
Wandered for a moment.
When he came back to his senses, Tanaka found that he had already sat down with two guests.
"Teacher Ghost Soldier, what do I want to talk to you about...... I'm sorry to tell you first. The beautiful editor named Saki Yoshizawa bowed her head.
"Huh?" Tanaka was stunned for a moment.
This was not what he had expected.
Didn't you come to the door because you were dissatisfied with the quality of your paintings?
