"Character design, or 10?"

"Yes, you don't have to ask for more, you just draw ten faces. ”

Xiong Xiao has relaxed the scale, and the standard character design is to draw the effect of multiple different angles such as head, front, back, and side, and sometimes include closed lines and character hairstyles, and different styles of clothing shapes.

In the early neon animation, the characters were heavily influenced by Disney, such as the eyes would be designed as a huge semi-oval that would take up half of the face, and the body parts would be composed of basic shapes, such as Astro Boy, and the main character's body could be clearly seen in the blackboard version like a gacha toy.

By the 70s, the characters at this time had begun to refer to human anatomy, trying to shape more realistic human proportions.

The concept of character design has developed from looking at faces and people at the beginning to looking at clothes and watching animations.

Fighting animations use exaggerated muscles and blood vessels to show the strength of characters, while female characters rely on hair and clothing to distinguish them.

You must know that before this, the hairstyles of the characters in the cartoon were almost static, and it was only after referring to human anatomy that the hair really became part of the character.

Later, the character design has developed to use color for comparison, like when it comes to purple mecha, the audience's first reaction must be the first machine in "EVA".

When it comes to the yellow-haired male protagonist, the representative one is Naruto Uzumaki.

Just like "Gintama" once complained, as a protagonist, the audience must be able to recognize it just by looking at the silhouette, and it is estimated that no one will be wrong about the silhouettes of Monkey King and Luffy.

However, Xiong Xiao knew that Shen Ruoxi didn't understand these things, so he cut down the complicated and simplified it, and asked her to draw ten close-ups of her face to test her skills.

Although Shen Ruoxi is poor, he really doesn't say anything about technology. In less than 1 hour, she drew 10 of Ye Xiu's faces, all of them with willow eyebrows and handsome faces, some with strong offensive temperament, and some with weak temperament.

"Are you Ye Xiu?"

Xiong Xiao looked at these pictures and didn't fight anywhere. In the novel, the reason why the character of Ye Xiu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is because the author is not a handsome guy.

Decadent, raunchy, sick, old smokers, young runaways.....

To be honest, this kind of player can be seen everywhere in Internet cafes, and in novels and movies, this kind of character is more lethal than the average handsome guy.

Just imagine, a delinquent teenager who usually fights and kills in school, occasionally glimpses him going out over the wall every day to feed a stray cat, is this the same as those top students who study hard to go out to feed the cat?

Ye Xiu is the bad boy, on the one hand, he is an older Internet addicted youth, and on the other hand, he is the first person in the game.

Xiong Xiao is not very satisfied with the character design of the protagonist of the anime version of his previous life. Probably the producers didn't dare to take this risk, after all, they had never seen such an unconventional protagonist, so they compromised with the market.

In his previous life, Ye Xiu was completely a protagonist face, handsome in clothes, and handsome in games. Even such an important feature as smoking has been taken aside, which does not reflect his prodigal physique in the slightest.

This is why during the casting of the live-action version, Huang Bo's voice was higher than that of Yang.

As for Shen Ruoxi's pictures, of course they are unqualified.

"Heh!

Shen Ruoxi is very confident in her drawing skills, because in the eyes of girls, there is no protagonist who is not handsome, even if the author describes him as not handsome, they can make up a peerless beautiful man with an injured face.

Besides, these ten faces were not improvised by her, they were all selected from some of the acclaimed illustrations she had made, who knew that this big producer still couldn't look down on them?

Xiong Xiao didn't talk to her, and two characters were left behind when he put pen to paper.

One is Kisuke Urahara in "Bleach of Death".

One is Kota Aizawa in "My Hero Academia".

In the Grim Reaper, the character of Kisuke Urahara is a hidden master at a glance.

He wears a pair of clogs, a jazz cap, and a cane that does not match his age. From time to time, it will also appear in the image of the Q version.

As for the other Aizawa Xiaotai, the appearance of this character is simply a middle-aged version of Ye Xiu, with half-drooping eyelids all year round, and only half of his eyes are bloodshot. He usually wears long hair and a little stubble on his chin, and looks very listless.

The temperament of these two is not ordinary people with such abnormal characters, and the audience knows at a glance that they are not ordinary people, and people are more expecting this kind of evil guy to be powerful than the guy with a heroic and righteous face.

"You know what I mean? The protagonist doesn't have to be serious, ruffian and decadent, he can become elegant and mysterious in an instant, he just needs to highlight his eyes. ”

After that, Xiong Xiao added a few strokes to add a little shine to the character's eyes, and at the same time increased the shadow surface in the backlight. All of a sudden, the characters of the two hangers became mysterious.

"See? These eyes are a thousand words. ”

Throwing down the pen, Shen Ruoxi only felt that her cheeks were hot. She had to admit that Xiong Xiao's two sloppy strokes were indeed better than the characters she had carefully crafted. This kind of character design is a character design that is closer to the original character, and his own, except for being handsome, has no other characteristics.

"Give you an hour to set up someone for me to make, or you will retract your rudeness just now. ”

Shen Ruoxi nodded, stuffed the emotions of pride and prejudice into her heart, and drew again.

I don't know if it's because I watched Xiong Xiao's creation just now, or if the standards he gave are not as loose as the standards. Shen Ruoxi suddenly felt as if her brain had opened up, and she was no longer confined to her previous creative style.

.......

Forty minutes later, Shen Ruoxi finally completed the creation of the protagonist's character.

Her characters are similar to those from her previous cartoons, but with some modifications.

For example, the eyes, the inverted triangle is more serious and looks more unenergetic.

The beard is sparsely elongated and elongated.

There is a cigarette in the corner of his mouth instead of holding it in his hand, and even in order to highlight the sense of reality, the character in the game state is crooked and half-squinted, which is not much different from that of a real smoker.

Xiong Xiao is quite satisfied with this setting, it seems that she has mastered the tricks of character setting, that is, there are no moves, just grasp one or two characteristics to portray, and there is no perfect character. "That's the feeling, draw all the remaining characters, the big and small eyes, the star face, the star face, don't have any reservations, don't want it at all. ”

Shen Ruoxi was willing to be commanded by Xiong Xiao, and she even forgot that she still hated this person a few hours ago.
