217. The first friendly conversation between the illustrator and the author

Jiang Yu subconsciously sat up straight, and his bare feet changed from kicking on the edge of the sofa to supporting his body to putting them into the slippers waiting on the floor. After a moment of silence, Jiang Yu's thumbs moved quickly on the screen of his phone.

Tu Su: "Thank you to the teacher for being able to take over the illustration work of his debut in his busy schedule~ The teacher's illustration work is basically done very well, but there is only one character, and there is a small problem."

Just a few seconds after Jiang Yu's words were spoken, there was another familiar new message prompt.

Elomana: "That's only because your work is interesting enough that I'm going to take the job. As for what you feel is wrong...... But it doesn't hurt to say that."

Could it be that this is ...... At present, only his sister Xiao Bury has mastered the legendary ultra-high-speed blind hit?

Jiang Yu, who was a little surprised by the speed of the other party's recovery, pouted slightly, and complained in his heart.

However, the other party's good communication level made Jiang Yu breathe a sigh of relief. Before that, he was a little worried, because one of them was a well-known illustrator in the industry, and the other was a little-known rookie writer, so the other party did not listen to his advice as a pseudo-original author.

With such an idea, it can only be said that Jiang Yu does not understand the relationship between illustrators and authors.

Generally speaking, most illustrators are part-time, and while they are in charge of light illustration, they also take on some magazine cover drawing work or doujinshi work. Among them, the painters in the sea and the painters on the shore are completely different in terms of remuneration.

After all, a painting with a slight sense of work and a serious painting, even if the latter has a wider audience, but the former is always easier to sell. This is also the reason why Ying Li Li was able to rely on her talent and earn a staggering amount of money at the age of a high school student.

And this 12-year-old girl whose pen name is "Eromana" and whose real name is "Izumi Saki" is not much different from Yingli Pear, but compared to the blonde girl who is completely sunk in the sea, Izumi Saki can be regarded as a painter who steps on the wettest sand on the shore.

After all, this silver-white girl with long hair will not take the initiative to draw a book and sell it......

Ahem, then back to the point. Under normal circumstances, after the illustrator looks at the work, most of the images in his mind will be slightly different from the image imagined by the original author.

However, most light writers don't know how to draw, so even if it feels a little inappropriate, they can only express their feelings in a very vague tone, so most illustrators are actually quite good at communication.

In particular, well-known artists are more willing to draw illustrations for good works and listen to the opinions of the original authors when they don't expect to make a living from the remuneration of illustrations.

In any case, the original author is the one who knows his work best.

Of course, it is necessary to exclude over-interpretation due to some special reasons. In that case, even if the original author personally came out, I'm afraid I can't say why. For example, a certain "eerie light".

Izumi Samisi is probably in such a state. She currently has illustration work on "The Silver Wolf of Reincarnation" and a whole bunch of cover drawings for well-known and unknown magazines. At first, when the Immortal River Bunko sent her an invitation, she didn't want to pay attention to it, but the slightly strange and familiar name caught her attention, so she decided to take a look at the light content before making a decision.

After reading part of the content given by the other party,A little looking forward to the follow-up of Izumi Samist,Suddenly I turned out the LINE chat history of the teacher who is a little similar to the name of the brother who has been silently taking care of her--At the same time, the other party is also the only light author in charge of the illustration on the girl's hand.,Found that the other party mentioned this name.。

Putting down the phone, Izumi Sawu boarded the official website of the Immortal River Library, clicked on the page of the newcomer award, and immediately found this one at the top of the list, looked behind slightly, and found that the gap with the second place was so big that it was almost desperate.

Close the page of the newcomer reward.,Izumi Sawu replied to the other party's email.,I hope to be able to take a look at the whole light.。 The next day, the Immortal Chuan Bunko readily agreed, and after she signed a time-limited confidentiality agreement, he sent her the full text by email.

After reading the full text, Izumi Samist, who was quite interested in this unique actor and the Chiba element in it, carefully studied the work arrangement at hand, and found that she had free time, and finally took over the commission.

As soon as she agreed, the Immortal River Library immediately sent this light editor to be responsible for contacting her. Through the editor nicknamed "Black Cat", he learned that the publication time was in mid-May, and Izumi Saki didn't care about the schedule, so he quickly set the priority of this job to the highest, and spent all his time on this light illustration every day, except for completing the work that was about to reach the specified time limit.

It wasn't until yesterday that all the characters that appeared in the first volume were designed. After putting down the pen, Izumi Saki carefully looked at all the characters back and forth, nodded with satisfaction, and then passed the finished drawings to the editor.

After receiving and replying, it didn't take long for the author to express his desire to communicate with her. Izumi Sawu is indispensable, although in her heart, the other party will most likely not be able to make any constructive suggestions.

But as soon as she agreed, a wave of sleepiness came up, and the girl who had not slept for several nights in a row, who was delicately between elementary school students and junior high school students, immediately fell into a deep sleep.

By the time she was woken up by the protesting belly, it was almost dinner time today.

He opened the door lightly and brought into the house the dinner that his brother had prepared for the door, with a small note on it that said, "Why didn't you eat at noon, is it a matter of taste?" "That's the case.

Pouting, the silver-white girl with long white hair said secretly: It's not my fault~

After eating dinner and putting the plate back in its place, Izumi Saki opened the LINE, found a new friend application, looked at the notes written by the other party, and understood what was going on, she naturally passed the application, and there were the first few lines of dialogue.

Looking at the illustrator's slightly straightforward words, Jiang Yu was slightly stunned, but he couldn't help but feel a little good for this character who had never met and was suspected of being a lewd uncle.

Although the pen name is a bit worse, it doesn't seem to be a bad person......

After thinking about it, Jiang Yu began to respond.

Tu Su: "Then I'll be straight to the point, it's about Yui Yui's character. This character is the second heroine of the book, so I wanted to be able to contrast the character in various senses with the snow under the snow. For example, words and deeds, personality...... and even ...... Oppai."

Because the "Teacher Eromanga" in Jiang Yu's imagination should at least be a middle-aged uncle-like character whose words and deeds are not necessarily obscene, but his nature must be coquettish, so he can talk about such topics with the other party without hindrance.

Well, probably no one would have imagined that the well-known "Teacher Eromana" would actually be a 12-year-old girl.

On the other hand, Izumi Saki also lost his shame after entering the creative state. After seeing Jiang Yu's words, the girl twisted her hair with some distress.

There is no doubt that the other party's idea is absolutely correct, and at the same time, Izumi Sawu also put away the contempt that he had unconsciously born before.

When she read the entire first volume before, she couldn't help but compare Yui and Yukino, the two characters who have the most ink in addition to the protagonist, side by side. A quiet and introverted, a lively and outgoing, she has read many interesting works, and she has somewhat understood the author's ideas.

As if unconsciously, it has formed the standard configuration of the rotten street - if there is a heroine with cold colors, then there must be a heroine with warm colors to correspond. The colors of the two clash and blend with each other to form a classic work that otaku can't stop.

But it's one thing to know, it's another to do it.

It may be hard to believe, but Eromana, who is a skilled painter and a painter with a good style, is actually only good at drawing poor milk characters. Outsiders who don't know the truth,Only guess that this teacher is an authentic Lolicon.,I can't guess that the other party doesn't draw other types of characters.,It's because he's not good at it.。

The reason why I am not good at it is simple: there are no templates.

For Izumi Samist, only what he has actually come into contact with, can he describe it with his own pen.

The silver-white long-haired girl who squats at home all the year round, and the template around her is only herself. Because she is a poor milk character with a broken mind (the girl firmly believes that this is because she is not yet in the time of development), she can only draw all kinds of poor milk characters.

It's not that she can't draw other characters, but even a layman can clearly see that the other characters in Izumi Saki's pen can be said to be "on paper", compared to the poor milk characters she has actually come into contact with, it is simply not a level of work.

If you look at it from this point, it seems that Yingli is better than the other party. However, if you add each other's age considerations, then it can probably be said that they are between them.

After hesitating for a moment, Izumi Sawu still chose to confess to the other party. What she hated more than what the news would do if it was exposed — and it wouldn't be — was deception.

And, if nothing else, she's been working as an illustrator for this potentially popular work, so she doesn't want to stiffen her relationship with the author on these issues.

Elomana: "...... I'm sorry, but to be honest, I'm not very good at creating giant characters, and if I try to draw them, it may not be satisfactory, so I have to do it."

You think I don't know what you're talking about? Even if it's a shielding word, write it out for me, it's a light soul! Anyway, it's just a chat through LINE, and you have to pay so much attention to civility between conversations?!

Jiang Yu looked at the other party's answer dumbfounded, and his heart churned.

He never imagined that the other party would be painted like this, not because he did not understand the antagonism of this simple character image in the work, but because-

Draw! No! Go out! Come!

After the shock, Jiang Yu hurriedly ran to his small bedroom, turned on the computer, logged in to the blog homepage of "Teacher Eromanga", and flipped through the pictures one by one, and really didn't find a few characters who were not poor milk!

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, although Jiang Yu said that he was an otaku who didn't care about this aspect and mainly looked at the charm of the character's personality, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate for the super popularity of "Teacher Eromana".

Could it be that most of the otaku in this world prefer this style of women's clothing...... Ahem, do I mean the character?

In this regard, a certain fire mist warrior, a certain super electromagnetic cannon, and a certain scarlet bullet all praised it together.

All in all, after being surprised, Jiang Yu planned to set out to solve this problem. He didn't want such a huge situation in "Spring Things" that violated his basic cognition.

Tu Su: "...... Teacher Eromana, do you have Skype?"

Skype is an instant messaging app with features such as video chat, multi-person voice conferencing, file transfer, text chat, and more. As a product forcibly promoted by Microsoft, the predecessor was the tears of the times MSN.

Izumi Saki was stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously swept the blue and white icon on the computer desktop, although he still didn't know why, but he still gave a "YSE" answer.

Tu Su: "Very good, if you want, can you open a video with me?" This is my Skype account, please add me."

Subsequently, Jiang Yu logged in to Skype and sent a string of accounts, which were registered by his predecessor a long time ago.

Izumi Saki wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he was wearing a hooded jacket, a mask, and even a voice changer anyway, so he wasn't afraid of what would happen to the other party, could it be that he could crawl along the network cable?

Without fear, she agreed to the other party's slightly excessive request, and after being ready, accepted the video call request initiated by the other party.

After shaking slightly, the picture becomes clear. Then there was a sense of surprise at the same time. The difference is that Izumi Sawu was surprised by Jiang Yu's excessively young face, while Jiang Yu was surprised because the other party was completely hidden in the darkness and couldn't even see the outline clearly.

After a little audition, Jiang Yu didn't say anything more, just spread out a blank piece of paper and began to draw the ball in his mind. Of course, he didn't stop talking, explaining what you should pay attention to when drawing such characters.

Izumi Sawu looked at Jiang Yu who was talking to himself and started to act in a daze, a little funny. However, as the other party's character gradually took shape, her face hidden under the mask couldn't help but become solemn.

Although Jiang Yu's level is a cut below her own boss, Izumi Sawu has to admit that at least in terms of the theoretical knowledge of characters like painting, the other party is indeed stronger than herself, and not at all.
