Chapter 45: The Husky

The weekly popularity list of the original painting area of the cartoons section is the work with the largest number of clicks and likes of the week, and if the score of a click is one, then someone likes it once is ten.

Now ranked ninth, [Giant Wolf Schiff and Girl Ruby] has a total of more than 30,000 popularity, but the proportion of clicks and likes is much higher than that of other works, which means that Yuu Kamiya's original paintings have won the aesthetic recognition of the vast majority of users in this section. This kind of thing is rare in the cartoons section, especially if the original picture is still original.

Generally speaking, there are two main factors that can dominate the list of original art areas, one is the popularity of the original artist, and the other is the positioning of the work itself, and the fanart of a popular animation can often attract a large number of fans of the original work. Therefore, almost all the works that dominate the list of this original art area are American animation and a small number of Japanese animation fans.

If the original artist is not a well-known person, and the original painting is not a fanart that is easy to attract fans, then being able to enter the popularity weekly list means that the original artist's work far exceeds the aesthetic standards of users in this section.

In fact, this is also the case.,The biggest factor affecting the popularity of [Giant Wolf Shiv and Girl Ruby] is in Yuu Kamiya's personal painting style. When he left "Mr. Fantuan Superman", the original paintings he drew had a sense of delicacy beyond this era, which was the result of his years of practice in the space of consciousness using modern original paintings.

For example, the current mainstream is the original art style of 2005, but Yuu Kamiya's work has reached the level of the art style of 2016, and the essential difference will make many users who like Japanese anime forget this gap in detail. Yu Kamiya's original paintings are all practiced by embodying real scenes in the space of consciousness, and the original paintings he draws are almost equivalent to having a "soul" in an immersive situation.

The mastery of light, the rendering of scenes, and the full-angle floor plan of the characters are all well understood.

Yu Kamiya's "fake book" user account Yosuganosora and [Giant Wolf Shiv and Girl Ruby] This original painting has set off a lot of topics in the circle of Japanese animation lovers, and the high production of three photos a day and the amazing quality of the fans have attracted a large number of fans at once, and they have speculated about what Yuu Kamiya's true identity is.

It's a pity that they can't find works or original artists with a similar style to Kamiya Yu, and they can't find anything to prove their identity from the account information filled in by Kamiya Yu, and this master of original painting with a very different style seems to have appeared overnight. The only clue that can be found is probably that Ruby Rose's character has traces of Uehara Eizuki, and many die-hard fans of Uehara Erizuki have cited Ruby Rose's costume details to prove this view. Is it Emi Uehara herself? Or maybe the artist has a close connection with Uehara Eizuki? Speculation is growing.

Approaching the weekend, the influence of the original painting of [Giant Wolf Schiff and Girl Ruby] continued to ferment, and it rushed to the ninth place on the popularity weekly list in one fell swoop, but unfortunately Yu Kamiya only uploaded this work on Tuesday, and it only began to skyrocket in popularity on Thursday, and now it is difficult to go further on the list. As for the popularity of the monthly list, [Giant Wolf Schiff and Girl Ruby] can also squeeze into the top 30, if it can enter the top 10 of the monthly ranking, it is the real recognition of this original painting, and it also means that Kamiya Yu has the qualifications to enter the circle of online original artists.

・・・・・・

After getting off work in the evening, Yu Kamiya uses the company's professional-grade scanner to upload his original drawings to his laptop, which he still needs to go home and paint with professional software. This part of the technique Yuu Kamiya was very familiar with when he became an animator, but the work of painting colors is more troublesome than the original drawing.

After that, he went to the door of Uehara Eizuki's office and took a deep breath to suppress his restlessness, and the inexplicable nervousness made him seem to hear the throbbing sound of his heart.

――This is essentially a guarantee for Uehara-sensei's reputation, and I'm pretty cheeky and selfish.

Yu Kamiya raised his right hand and looked at the faintly wet palm, hesitated for a long time, and knocked on the wooden door of the office. He knew that he had to get permission from Uehara Eizuki, and if she refused, Kamiya would not be reluctant to find other ways to raise money.

"Come in." It was obviously a familiar calm voice, but it made Kamiya Yu's heart tremble fiercely, with his understanding of Uehara Ezuki, he knew that she would definitely not reject him, but even a 1 in 10,000 chance was not what he wanted to see. Compared to borrowing money or confessing, the consequences of Kamiya Yu's behavior are more serious, and once it fails, the relationship between the two will build an insurmountable wall.

――It's a husky, why are you so nervous, I obviously haven't done anything bad.

Kamiya Yu thought about it slightly, and after complaining about himself, he entered the independent office as usual, and saw Uehara Ezuki, who was still drawing the original painting, and greeted him respectfully: "Teacher, are you still busy?" ”

"Well, when drawing the final battle scene, if Kamiya-kun is willing to help me, it will be much easier for me." Uehara put down the original paintbrush in his hand and looked at Yu Kamiya and said softly, as always, it was impossible to tell if it was a joke or if there was really such a plan.

Yu Kamiya shook his head and smiled: "That's the task given to the teacher by the overseer, he stubbornly thinks that other painters can't paint this kind of grand scene, and I will only get scolded if I interfere rashly." ”

"Hehe, I know that Kamiya-kun is fully competent, and I will be responsible for explaining it over there." Uehara Eizuki said lightly with a smile.

Facing Uehara Etsuki's teasing, Kamiya Yu hurriedly waved his hand and admitted defeat: "Ahhh~ I was wrong, teacher, you also know what I've been busy with lately, so please let me go." ”

Uehara Eizuki smiled and continued to ask: "It's a personal short animation, right, so this time Kamiya-kun is looking for me and it's related to short animation?" ”

"Uh, can't you say hello to the teacher after work, after all, you've helped me so much during this time." Yu Kamiya touched his face in embarrassment.

"Hey~ Kamiya-kun always writes what he wants to say on his face, I don't think I guessed wrong this time." Uehara sighed lightly as she looked embarrassed, she was used to teasing him like this.

Yu Kamiya snorted, sat on the chair in front of the desk and straightened his expression and sitting posture and said solemnly: "This time the teacher didn't guess wrong, I do have one thing that I want your help with, or I need your permission." ”

Hearing this, Uehara Ezuki calmly stretched out her jade hand and smiled and made a gesture of please.

Yu Kamiya carefully took out his laptop from his briefcase, put it on the desktop and opened it, and entered the MAYA3D modeling display interface before turning the screen to Uehara Eizuki, and said a little nervously, "Please take a look at these, teacher." ”

The screen quickly displayed the 3D modeling character of the "Red" chapter and the 3D scene that Kamiya had made in a hurry, and even though it was only an unfinished product, Uehara Ezuki was surprised to cover his small mouth with a kimono long sleeve, and the delicate and calm eyes widened slightly in surprise.

"This... is the animation work Kamiya-kun wants to make?" Uehara asked softly with a rare look of disbelief on her face, her knowledge of 3D animation as a concept artist was limited to the surface, but as an animator she knew very well what these epoch-making 3D images represented, she never imagined that the Ruby Rose character she drew would be so detailed and surprising when she was made into a 3D character.
