Chapter 42: Is This Trying to Support Me?
Suddenly faced with Yoichi Igarashi's invitation, Aya Uesugi was a little confused, because she really hadn't considered becoming an illustrator next to a novelist.
"Illustrator? Me? Uesugi asked, pointing her finger at herself.
"Yes, I just need an illustrator right now." Igarashi Yoichi's affirmation proved that what he said before was not nonsense, and then said: "You have just said that this guy can be slowly normal, because I want to write a novel, I definitely don't have time to perfect the character design after I grow up, so I need someone who can draw me illustrations by my side." And you're the artist of the first draft, so I want you to be the illustrator of my new work. ”
used the words of Aya Uesugi to convince her, but I don't know what choice Aya Uesugi will make.
"But I don't think I have the potential to become an illustrator for light novels, because I've had an illustration application rejected in the past, so I'm not confident right now."
"Oh, can you tell me who you painted?" Yoichi Igarashi was a little curious about what kind of illustration submission was rejected, leaving Aya Uesugi lost until now.
"It's the illustration of the protagonist of 'Silk Girl'.,I haven't gotten feedback since I submitted it.,The other party probably doesn't want to hit me as a newcomer.。
It's actually the illustration of the protagonist of his novel.,Judging from the neon version of the anime that Aya Uesugi watched on TV for two episodes,This rejection is indeed a bit of a blow for her.。
"Which studio was submitted at the time, and I remember that 'Silk Niang' didn't directly solicit illustrations in Neon." Yaichi Igarashi asked.
At the beginning, the character design of the "Silk Girl" novel was drawn by Yoichi Igarashi in China, but the character design of the animation was indeed solicited in China, and those who could be submitted abroad must have been voted to the cooperative studio through the relationship.
"It wasn't voted for the studio, but directly for Mr. Summer Night, so ......"
It was voted directly to the author.,No wonder Aya Uesugi is so lost.。
However, when Yoichi Igarashi was in China, he didn't receive a character illustration from neon.
Wait, it seems that there is such a part.
"Did you submit the same post then as it does today?" Yaichi Igarashi asked, taking the sketch in his hand.
"No, Yeyue was still neon at that time, and she asked me to draw and submit it with an electronic manuscript. However, I think if we had used a paper manuscript, it might have been a different result. ”
Aya Uesugi didn't blame Yezuki behind her back, but she really cared about the result of that submission.
"You can also draw electronic manuscripts?" Twice in a row in the bathroom, I saw Uesugi Aya drawing on paper, and I thought Uesugi Aya couldn't draw electronic drafts.
"I used to draw electronic drafts in my previous job, but I prefer the feeling of paper drawings because they give me more inspiration."
"Can you simply draw the illustration of the character you submitted, and I'll see if you are suitable for using the electronic manuscript to finalize the draft."
"That's fine."
When it came time to draw, Aya Uesugi had already stopped eating breakfast, so she wiped her hands and went back to her room to get her drawing paper.
When everything was ready, Aya Uesugi began to draw. This time, it was just a reproduction of the previous drawing, so it didn't take long for Aya Uesugi to complete it.
"Alright." Aya Uesugi put down her pen and said.
Yoichi Igarashi walked up to Aya Uesugi, and after seeing her finished words, he said to her, "Can you give me this painting, you can take this time to consider whether you want to become an illustrator for my new work, and the treatment will definitely be negotiable." ”
Now Yoichi Igarashi has one thing to confirm, so saying this is not only the time for Aya Uesugi to think about it, but also the time for him to verify.
"Okay, I'll think about it seriously."
……
Yoichi Igarashi returned to his room with Aya Uesugi's quick drawing, flipped out the data disk he had brought out, and plugged it into his computer.
Open the data disk.,Found this folder of the character map.,There's a neon contribution in it.。
When you open it, there's only one illustration stored inside.
After picking up the illustrations on the side of Igarashi Yaya's hand and comparing them with the illustrations in the data disk, I found that the two illustrations were completely identical except for the different details.
This is the illustration of the character that Aya Uesugi voted for him?
However, at the beginning, this illustration was passed to him by his sister Yeyue in Neon, saying that it was drawn by a friend of hers and needed to be seen at night.
But because it didn't say that it was a contribution, Yoichi Igarashi didn't pay much attention to it, and saw that the character in the illustration was the protagonist of his novel, so he put it in the data disk.
If I had known that this was a submission, I might have communicated with the company that made the animation at the time. However, even if he didn't use that illustration, Yaichi Igarashi was a little interested in that night moon's friend in his heart, but he didn't expect this person to be Aya Uesugi.
Now, Aya Uesugi has drawn the first draft of the character design for the protagonist of the new work, which may also be a fate.
It's time to go out and hear how Aya Uesugi thinks about the invitation to become his illustrator.
……
When Igarashi came out, she found that Aya Uesugi was pressing back and forth on her phone, as if she was playing a game but not like it.
"Miss Uesugi, how did you think about my previous invitation?" There was no beating around the bush to make a temptation, and Igarashi Yaichi asked straight to the point.
"Ye Yijun, can you tell me what the salary is like after becoming your illustrator?" It seems that Uesugi Aya is moved, otherwise she wouldn't have asked about salary. Thinking about it this way, it is possible that Aya Uesugi just now used the calculator on her mobile phone to calculate her own perceived salary.
It's good if you're interested.,As long as the salary is suitable, Aya Uesugi, an illustrator, can't run.。
"Miss Uesugi, how much do you think that piece of porcelain of mine is worth?"
Hearing Igarashi mention Ru porcelain at night, Uesugi Aya was a little unpleasant, because it was a sky-high price for her now.
"Isn't that what you said was worth 3.6 million Neon Coins? Are you going to raise the price? ”
"It's good that you agree with this value, I invite you to be my illustrator, which can be deducted from your salary, what do you think of my proposal?"
Yoichi Igarashi's proposal is a good one, because Aya Uesugi doesn't want to go out looking for a new job, but Yoichi Igarashi hasn't given an accurate number yet.
"How much can I deduct from becoming an illustrator for your new work?"
"How about a third?"
"Ye Yijun, are you sure you don't want to support me?"
