"What game?" asked Saeki Jun.

He knew that in addition to being a cartoonist, Qin Han also had an identity, the owner of a game company and a well-known game producer. "Oriental Gensokyo Story", he also bought it and played it.

However, after making a game with a fresh and laid-back style, where even the slimes and skeletons in the underground mines look cute, why did Qin Han run out to make horror games?

Qin Han seemed to see through Saeki Jun's thoughts, and explained with a smile: "My club's new game is not a horror game. It's just that in the adventure and battle, some horror elements have been added. In fact, no matter how terrifying the monster I designed, it will not be so scary after 2D pixelation. ”

"Really......" Saeki Jun was skeptical.

However, even if Qin Han said so, he did not plan to start the new game of Terracotta Warriors Entertainment as soon as possible. Let's wait and see.

Anyway, "Oriental Gensokyo Story" is so fun, he is far from getting tired of mining and growing vegetables and raising cattle and sheep in the game world.

Subsequently, Fujisawa Heng also came to Qin Han's house.

Kyoka Moeka and Okada Mori are still high school students, and there are activities at school this afternoon, so they can't come.

Fujisawa Heng was also a little startled by the Cthulhu monster created by Qin Han. But in the end, it was a former rampant clan, and he was more resistant to this kind of thing, and after carefully appreciating and commenting on it, he was even inspired to have the urge to create horror comics.

Of course, this is just talk. After the excitement, Fujisawa began to work as his assistant honestly.

Even if he has some free time, he has to prepare a book to sell at the Winter CM Doujin Fair.。

Hiroshi Fujisawa, who prides himself on being a man, is unwilling to lose to Saeki Jun, a gentleman who is obsessed with European pies and ** all day long.

After creating the first monster concept map, Qin Han rested for a while and began to draw the second concept map.

Unlike the first picture of the bloody, hideous, and straightforward monster that shows the sense of horror, in the second picture, Qin and Han changed their style.

The main color change from the blood red of the first picture to black and blue.

The picture unfolds from a top-down perspective.

A man, swimming freely in the moonlit sea. He did not realize that in the vast, unstable sea, there was a huge threat lurking that mankind did not know about.

The man swimming on the surface of the sea, in the ocean below, there is a huge and hideous black shadow, which is emerging.

In this picture, Qin and Han gave full play to their expertise as a "master of color application", and used color changes to perfectly express the depth and vastness of the sea, creating a great sense of fear of mystery and unknown.

You don't need a hideous appearance and the stimulation of bloody elements, you only need to sketch a shadow, which can make people feel frightened at a glance, but you can't explore the truth.

This fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.

After the creation was completed, Qin Han also left a famous quote from Nietzsche on the painting - "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you." ”

After completing the creation efficiently, Qin Han breathed a long sigh of relief and put down the pressure pen in his hand.

At this time, he realized that he didn't know when, Fujisawa Heng and Saeki Jun, who had already finished their work, had gathered in front of the computer.

"Teacher Qin Han, after reading this painting of yours, I think I may not be able to sleep tonight. Saeki touched the back of his hand, and goosebumps got on it.

Fujisawa Heng also nodded and said, "This painting is even more terrifying than the monster just now." Fortunately, summer has passed. Otherwise, after seeing this painting, I would not have dared to swim in the sea! Alas, I feel a little ashamed to be so timid as a man......

Qin Han patted Fujisawa Heng on the shoulder and comforted: "Human beings have an innate fear of the deep and vast space. This is called 'deep-sea phobia', not just in the ocean, but also in space. A good cartoonist must not only use his drawings to convey information, but also be able to arouse the emotions of the viewer. If you want to draw good comics, you two might as well study psychology. You don't need to go deeper, even if you only know a little bit about it, it's also very beneficial for creation. ”

Fujisawa Heng and Saeki Jun nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Teacher Qin Han, I learned something new today." ”

The next day, Qin Han brought his monster design concept map to Terracotta Warriors Entertainment.

When the discussion was held again, the participants were in much lower spirits than they were yesterday morning.

Qin Han asked the secretary to make a cup of coffee for everyone, and then asked, "What's the matter, everyone, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Ota Shunya said with a bitter face: "President, don't say it. It's all your copy of The Cthulhu Mythos. The stories told by the façade make people break out in a cold sweat while looking at them. I didn't sleep well all night, for fear that if I closed my eyes, Cthulhu would appear in my dreams. You know, I live by the sea!"

Others also complained that the unscrupulous president forced him to read the horrific atrocities and told about his experience of being frightened last night.

Of course, there are also people with coarse nerves who are not affected too much.

For example, Kensuke Tanaka.

"Why did you react so much? I think the worldview setting in "The Cthulhu Mythos" is very distinctive, full of a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness. It's just that the language is a little too obscure, and I watched and fell asleep many times along the way. ”

Tanaka's fat man's words immediately attracted everyone's angry eyes.

He could only touch his head in embarrassment and stop making a sound.

But despite being intimidated, the employees were inspired by this Cthulhu Mythos book and got a lot of inspiration.

At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and brains, and designed quite a lot of monster images that not only meet the requirements of the game style, but also are very creative.

And Qin Han also created two concept drawings by himself for everyone's reference.

After everyone watched it, the performance was similar to that of Fujisawa Hen and Saeki Jun.

These two paintings gave the whole creative team more inspiration, various ideas continued to emerge, and the atmosphere of the meeting became more and more enthusiastic.

The meeting, which was originally scheduled to last two hours, did not end until half past twelve.

If it weren't for everyone's hunger, I'm afraid it would have continued.

“…… Well, that's it. First, make zombies, skeletons, slimes, corrupted worms, and other common monsters. In addition, there is the boss 'Eye of Cthulhu'. The design of the tasks associated with it must also be completed as soon as possible. There's a week left in Tokyo Game Show, and we're going to try to come up with a demo. ”
