258. Advocacy and Planning

Illustration is a very important part of the light industry. To put it bluntly, an illustrator is a profession that attracts fans more than light, and it is easier to give birth to so-called "die-hard fans".

After all, compared to illustrations, light and can't prprprpr, right? (crossed out)

Cough...... Especially now, when light publishing is getting easier and easier, except for a few absolute newcomers, most readers, when deciding whether to buy a light book, will definitely take a look at who the illustrator is. If it's an illustrator they know or love, then even if it's just for the face of the illustrator, they will buy it home.

In this way, you may have the illusion that light illustrators are quite profitable. However, the remnant thing is that no more than 5 books a year bring 30-50P illustrations, even if they are the top illustrators in the industry, I am afraid that they can't just rely on this remuneration to be able to support their families.

Therefore, light illustrators are just one of the identities of some artists. Many illustrators wear multiple hats, or can take on multiple jobs at the same time. The scope of work of a more popular and ingenious artist can include games, animation, illustration, magazine drawing, advertising, doujinshi, and many other aspects.

Of course, this is only the treatment of a small group of illustrators who are more famous in the industry. Most rookie painters are usually busy with their own work, and at the same time, take advantage of their spare time to paint a few paintings, purely to earn some extra money, and do not really regard this as a serious job.

And painters like Izumi Sawu and even Yingli Li can be said to be the case of the case. After all, well-known illustrators and well-known book painters in junior high school grades should only exist in the imagination in most people's minds, right?

However, the two girls naturally have their own capital. In addition to the indispensable efforts, the outstanding talents of the two girls are probably the main reason why they can be famous in the industry at such an age.

Now this scene is very illustrative.

Looking at the news sent by Izumi Sawu, Rao is Jiang Yu had already put the other party in the position of a "well-known illustrator", but he still couldn't help but secretly speak.

He should have discussed the problem of character design with the other party only three days ago, and the other party understood it quickly, and now it only took so many days to complete at least 10 pages of illustrations. It also includes a coloring book for the cover, as well as a coloring book for the first two or three pages of the light convention.

If it takes three days to finish drawing several illustrations, Jiang Yu thinks that he can barely do it, but the premise is a line drawing, at most one line drawing, as long as he is proficient, it is not difficult to draw a painting in two or three hours. However, if you want to color, the time will increase exponentially.

So, this is the strength of well-known illustrators in the industry?

Shaking his head, Jiang Yu pondered for a moment and began to type.

Tu Su: "The teacher has worked hard these days! If it's convenient, can I take a look at the finished picture?"

Not long after the message was sent, several messages flashed in the chat box with the other party. It looks like he's always guarding his phone.

Elomana: "Well, of course. I'll send it to you right away!"

This was followed by a series of pictures. Jiang Yu, who was swiped on the screen, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, at this moment, he seemed to ask the other party rhetorically: Won't you pack?

But the strings of reason in his heart still told him what he really should do now.

Tu Su: "Thank you, teacher!"

After sending it out, Jiang Yu sighed and began to look at the illustrations one by one. Because he was too lazy to flip to the top and look at it from the beginning, he clicked directly on the last picture, and after a slight buffer, what appeared in front of him was the approach guidance questionnaire of Xue Nai under the snow.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu was stunned, because the illustrator of "Spring Things" in the previous world had drawn a questionnaire for the characters who appeared in the first volume, so he seemed to mention it to the other party in passing, but she really drew the questionnaire of these people? It's not too much of a hassle, though......

Flipping through the questionnaire of the five characters who appeared, what appeared next was a slightly perfunctory headframe + dialogue format compared to the original, and the illustrations were much more refined. Whether the painting style of the two is superior or inferior, Jiang Yu has no way to judge for a while, but at least it has changed from the way of dialogue between the characters' heads to the panorama, which makes Jiang Yu quite pleased.

The only shortcoming in the first volume of the original work in his eyes may be that it looks more than 20P at a glance, but it actually seems a bit perfunctory. Now it is a small way to make up for his regret.

Straight to the first one, it's a color cover. Although it's not the same as the picture in the original work, the protagonists are still the eldest teacher and the second lady.

Overall, the illustration is impeccable, at least in Jiang Yu's current vision, he can't make mistakes, and the problems that existed in the previous Tuanzi's character design have also been well solved.

After thanking the other party again, Jiang Yu put down his phone and prepared to start making his first indie game. Less than ten minutes after he was busy, the phone next to the computer vibrated again.

This time it's his editor.

Black Cat: "It's a big night! This time, I mainly want to tell the teacher that the illustration has been completed on Mr. Eromana's side. Therefore, the publishing house is also preparing to carry out the formal printing work after the typesetting. Here, I would like to congratulate Mr. Tu Su!"

Tu Su: "Well, trouble the black cat. Also, the teacher forbids it (laughs). Also, is there anything I can do to help?"

Black Cat: "Ah——! There really is something Jiang Jun can help with! I was negligent before, but I want to ask, you have Twitter, right?"

Twitter?

Jiang Yu nodded knowingly. The predecessor naturally had Twitter, but it didn't like to use it. And he himself is more accustomed to the microblogging of the last world, and he does not have the habit of using Twitter.

And since the other party asked about this, he must have asked him to tweet himself to carry out the warm-up promotion of the new book release. Although he has considerable doubts about his account that he has basically not used much, even if it is promoted, it will have an effect.

got Jiang Yu's affirmative reply, and the black cat really did what he thought, and asked him to carry out publicity. However, before the promotion, the other party wanted to go over Jiang Yu's account, saying that he wanted to contact Twitter and add V authentication.

Jiang Yu had nothing to do, and after giving the account, his rookie editor didn't reply to him anymore, thinking that he should be busy with some work.

After glancing at the time that was neither early nor late, and calculating the time until Xia CM, Jiang Yu frowned, but decided to continue to make the "Witch's House" in his hand, which was barely a half-finished product.

If you want to release this game in time for Xia CM, it is best for him to complete the whole game within this month, except for the time to debug bugs and optimize running efficiency.

And this production time ...... Whether it can be completed or not, he doesn't have much confidence in his heart. After all, he still has to go to school during the day, and he only stays up late every day to do a little bit, and to tell the truth, the efficiency is not high. And, by the middle of next month at the most, the program work on the "Gate of Destiny Stone" should also be on the agenda.

In other words, he seems to be leisurely now, but in fact he should be in a rather busy state.

Is your time valuable?

Inexplicably, Jiang Yu flashed a page game advertising phrase that had been brainwashed before in his mind, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

Calming down, he picked up the barley tea he had just brought in, took a sip, and devoted himself to the production of the game.
