Chapter 899 "Stone Gate" serialized
The controversy between color comics and black and white comics has appeared since "Leap" became one of the three major publications.
It's just that at that time, there was only one full-color comic magazine, "Leap", and even if there was such a battle, the winner was often black and white.
Now it's different, although the magazine is still dominated by black and white comics, but it's another thing on the Internet, many creators choose color comics in order to attract readers for the first time - anyway, they are all painted on the pen screen, and the cost of creation will not increase, but it may be because of the addition of color, so that readers can ignore some details, especially in the background.
Even "The Demon King's Tutor" is the same.,The slight difference is that Snow is working alone.,Usually based on hooking lines.,And then draw some color pages for propaganda.,And serialized comics.,It's up to Shi Qun to find someone to be responsible for coloring.。
As for the black and white pages......
If the cartoonist is not strong, the black and white pages are even more unpopular.
The cover of the first episode of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" is a color page, Hong Liqi, Ganglun, A Zhi, Zhen Youli and others are standing in front of a building, but all the characters, including the building, are slightly tilted together. In the middle of the color page, there is a line of words, the first word of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny".
Kong Xian stood behind Zeng Yue, staring at the computer screen, looking at the picture that Zeng Yue had opened.
This page still can't compare with the illustrations drawn by snow, but it is far better than the color pages of other cartoonists, and if all the color pages are of this quality, it is estimated that the results of the comics will be guaranteed.
However, after turning the cover page, the "essence" of this manga comes to the fore - the black and white pages.
Kong Xian sighed, then shook her head, she preferred color pages, but Zeng Yue's eyes were unusually bright, staring at the sketch in front of her, and she never looked away for a moment.
Lu Ning had drawn the color pages of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" before, and many people were familiar with her characters, and so was Zeng Yue.
When Zeng Yue saw the characters in the grid, his eyes lit up, the quality of the storyboards reflected in the comics was very high, most of the color pages could not be compared, and the strange atmosphere contained in the first sentence, such as the death of Hong Liqi, for example, after Ganglun sent a text message, the changes in the surrounding world were vividly reflected.
Coloring pages use color to highlight the key points of the picture, while black and white pages use storyboards to show the reader the main points.
Not only that, Lu Ning's polishing on the storyboard also surprised Zeng Yue.
"The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" is converted from text into comics, and the storyboard needs the creator's own imagination, from this point of view, Lu Ning did a really good job.
Of course, there are shortcomings.
There are still problems with the handling of light and shadow, although the storyboard has been polished and is relatively good, but this is also relatively speaking, compared with comics at the level of Ye Hexu, there is still a little difference.
Lu Ning's painting skills are good, and he is also one of the best in light reading, but after a while, Han Ye will also have new works, and he is better than Lu Ning in painting.
Like the plot of the first episode, if there can be a spread, of course, it is the best, but on the mobile phone, it is difficult to show the picture sense that the spread should have.
"The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" wants to stand out from the encirclement, and it is not so easy.
Then again, the quality of the first episode of "Gate of the Stone of Destiny" is not bad, even in "Comic Future", there should be a good result.
"The Demon King's Tutor" and "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" ......
What kind of result will be between the two also makes Zeng Yue curious.
"Sister Kong, what do you think?" Zeng Yue turned around and looked at Kong Xian.
"Me?"
Kong Xian was subconsciously stunned for a moment.
She has been watching color comics recently, and she has long been accustomed to the style of color comics - although she doesn't admit it, but in her subconscious, she has already despised black and white comics.
However, this time, when Zeng Yue quickly flipped through the original manuscript, Kong Xian read it again and immediately changed her previous thoughts.
In terms of the saturation of the picture, color comics are better than black and white comics, but the expressiveness of black and white comics is far better than color comics.
Don't talk about ordinary color comics, even if it is a color comic like "The Demon King's Tutor", which everyone has high hopes for, compared with this black and white comic, it also reflects its own shortcomings - not refined enough.
"I ...... I think it's pretty good. ”
"Then, I hope you can promote the comics of "Gate of Destiny Stone" on the next issue of "Qichuang Library". Zeng Yue said softly.
"Of course. But you also have to promote it on the light reading app. ”
Zeng Yue made an "ok" gesture.
Both sides take what they need, and this cooperation will come naturally.
After that, Zeng Yue asked the artist to do a countdown to "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" and put it on the launch page.
Shen Xin was also stunned after seeing the promotion resources given by Qingyue.
"Another X Lu Ning, a strong team, not to be missed! There are 5 days left until the release of the Gate of Destiny Stone comic. ”
And left a button to make an appointment.
According to his experience on Earth, the promotion of the app's splash page is basically one of the best recommended positions for the app, and another equally good position is the bookshelf push.
Moreover, the reservation collection can also be a small range of bookshelf push.
It seems that Zeng Yue is also very optimistic about the comics of "The Gate of Destiny Stone".
But in this case, the pressure on a cartoonist tends to be great.
If the results don't match expectations, the cartoonist may even break down.
At this point, Yan Fei is very experienced.
After learning about the light reading, she confiscated Lu Ning's mobile phone as soon as possible, and cut off the network of Lu Ning's studio, and stayed with Lu Ning for five days, either discussing the name with Lu Ning, or agreeing with Lu Ning on how to adapt the story behind.
Wang Wenhong secretly complained that Yan Fei hadn't gone home for a long time, and Shen Xin comforted him, but he agreed with Yan Fei's approach in his heart.
When recommending it on the comics, the creator didn't have the heart to focus on creation at all, and he couldn't wait to stare at the author's backstage 24 hours a day, and his heart went up and down with the change of the collection number.
When he was on Earth, Shen Xin also experienced this.
The period before the Internet is put on the shelves is often the most difficult for authors. Even if you sit in front of the computer to create, the author's heart is always thinking about the background, whether it is a collection, a recommendation ticket, or a follow-up, any of these data may determine the next recommendation of the work.
However, the creator's worries, joys and sorrows, can't control the data in the background, and the creation they can control is inefficient because of distraction.
Now Yan Fei has isolated Lu Ning from the outside world, at least to eliminate some external interference.
As time went by, Shen Xin also became a little nervous.
He hadn't read the original manuscript of the first episode of "The Gate of Destiny Stone", so he couldn't know it in his heart, so he could only rely on Yan Fei to be strict.
On the day when "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" was released, Shen Xin took the time to open it and read the comics of "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny" carefully, and then let out a sigh of relief.
Steady.
