In his previous life, Qin Han's two favorite cartoonists were Yuhiko Inoue and Eiichiro Oda.

Let's not talk about Oda Juju and "One Piece" first, just talk about Inoue Okami.

To the Qin and Han dynasties, Inoue Yuhiko created a total of four works, three of which are basketball sports comics.

"Zero Second Shot" and "Destiny Strong Hand" are not well-known. And as Inoue Yuhiko's famous work "Slam Dunk", it is actually Inoue's own growth trajectory.

From the beginning of the funny bad comics, to the orthodox sports theme, the style of painting has gradually improved dramatically.

Even ordinary readers, if you look through the first and last volumes of "Slam Dunk", you can see the difference.

If "Slam Dunk" still reveals a bit of Inoue's youthfulness, then "Wanderer's Journey" is undoubtedly a masterpiece that vividly embodies Inoue's painting techniques and ideological realm, and has been sublimated.

It's a Zen manga.

Yuhiko Inoue, who is a young man at heart, has added a lot of his own life insights and philosophical reflections to "Wanderer's Journey", which increases the difficulty of reading. In terms of plot, he even used a large space to describe the content of the protagonist Miyamoto Musashi farming as a farmer. As a result, this comic has been jokingly dubbed "Farmer's Walk" by many fans.

However, even if there is no commercial compromise for the sake of artistry, Yuhiko Inoue's "Rogue Xing" still creates a miracle in the sales of youth manga.

Here's another interesting fact.

Inoue's "Wanderer" and Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu's "The Hunter" have both been serialized since 1998. And Inoue Yuhiko has also experienced a long hiatus, and the length of the two manga is actually about the same.

But Inoue Yuhiko is always regarded as a diligent cartoonist, and the rich old thief is hated by countless people.

I have to say that this is the gap in character.

Aside from the plot and character building, let's just talk about painting. Inoue Yuhiko painted with a brush in "Wanderer's Journey", depicting an ink-style Dongying Warring States period.

This is undoubtedly groundbreaking.

Anyone who has seen an exhibition of Inoue's paintings will exclaim, "This is not just a manga, it's art!"

Therefore, Qin Han decided to use a brush to draw ink style comics.

As a Chinese, he knows what kind of unique charm the simple black and white colors contain. This charm is incomparable to those colorful color pictures.

Of course, there are also restrictions on the subject matter of drawing ink style comics with a brush.

The best phase is, of course, the ancient theme. You can't go for the ink-style "Ghost in the Shell".

Inoue Yuhiko used ink to paint the swordsmen of the Warring States period, so what should the Qin and Han dynasties paint?

Emotionally speaking, what he wants to paint the most is, of course, the Chinese knight.

A light sword, a white shirt, by the bamboo forest stream, in the lofty mountains, wandering the world, happy and vengeful......

However, on this subject, Dongying people obviously have no sense of identity.

With the pressure of failing a mission, he doesn't have the freedom to create now.

has already "borrowed" the idea of ink comics, and Qin Han doesn't want to draw Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro anymore.

Thinking about it for a long time with no results, Qin Han simply turned on the TV, ready to find a funny variety show to relax his brain.

"Just like the Chinese people like "Three Kingdoms", the Dongying people are also familiar with the Warring States. The theme of the Warring States period undoubtedly has the most mass base, but what exactly is the painting?"

Almost unconsciously, he pressed the remote control and switched channels all the way to NHK.

At this time, Dongying CCTV is broadcasting a historical popular science program, through the popular river drama "Wind Forest Volcano", to understand the history of the Warring States Period.

Daeje drama is a drama produced by NHK every year with the theme of a specific historical era, and it has an unshakable special status in the Toei TV industry.

Every year, Dahe dramas are a hot topic in society.

The protagonist of "Wind Forest Volcano" is Yamamoto Kansuke, the military advisor of Takeda Shingen, and tells the rise of the Takeda family and the battle with the old enemy Kenshin Uesugi.

Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, two good friends who love and kill each other, are like Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and few people in Dongying don't know. Allusions such as the Battle of Kawanakajima are even more of a history textbook. For Qin Han, who likes to rub hot spots, this is undoubtedly a suitable material.

What's more, the "Wind Forest Volcano" taken from "The Art of War" not only made Qin Han, a Chinese person, feel very cordial, but also extremely high.

"Very well, so decided!"

The desire to create came up, and Qin Han immediately turned off the TV and came to the studio.

Although he used a brush to paint, after all, he was drawing comics, not Chinese paintings, so first of all, Qin and Han still had to use pencils to draw the sketches.

The character he chose was Kansuke Yamamoto.

Although he is not as famous as Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, as the military advisor of the Takeda family, the protagonist of "Wind Forest Volcano", and the iconic feature of "One-eyed", Yamamoto Kansuke is not low in recognition.

As for the specific image, Qin Han not only referred to the popular Dahe drama, but also borrowed the standing painting in the game "Nobunaga Wild Hope".

The creative process went smoothly, and the only problem encountered was how to express the armor with an ink brush.

Fortunately, in addition to "borrowing", Qin and Han also have their own strength.

Through the gradation of shades of black, as well as the appropriate white space, he succeeded in expressing the texture of the armor.

The pen worked tirelessly, and it was not until more than two o'clock in the morning that the Qin and Han dynasties created Yamamoto Kansuke.

Pick up the brush and write the four magnificent characters "Fenglin Volcano" on the background of the character, and the whole work will be completed.

After placing the painting on the workbench to dry, Qin Han returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.

Maybe I slept too deeply. When Qin Han woke up the next day, he found five missed calls on his phone. All of them were called by Shunsuke Fujimoto.

"This vice president really likes me. ”

Qin Han smiled helplessly and dialed back.

"Qin Sang, why don't you answer the phone all the time, I thought you died suddenly at home! Don't think I'm joking, every year there are a few cartoonists who don't pay attention to their physical health die suddenly. Do you know that our Tiger's Den has specially prepared several billboards for the sale of Teacher So-and-so's posthumous works?"

"I'm sorry, Teng Bensan, I slept too deeply to hear. ”

Shunsuke Fujimoto also knew that manga artists worked hard, so he didn't say much, and the conversation changed: "I'll tell you good news." I got the inside story ...... from the Agency for Cultural Affairs in advance"

After listening to Shunsuke Fujimoto's introduction, Qin Han was a little surprised.

Cooperate with NICONICO, hold a drawing contest, and the audience votes to determine the winner, and participate in the NHK documentary shooting?

When did the Dongying government, which is known for being old-fashioned and inflexible, learn to keep up with the times and be so down-to-earth?
