"Wow, at the beginning, Miss Yelena gave us an unexpected choice."

Thomas examines the piece that Anna classifies as trash.

He rotated the frame and placed it in front of the camera and showed a close-up of it to the viewer in front of the screen.

"Perhaps, in my intuitive opinion, it's not bad, at least not that bad."

"I think I can give him a four, or a five. Especially at its price point. I can tell you the truth, Miss Elena is right. That's one of the three illustrations I bought on Fiverr. ”

Thomas took out a marker pen from the side and wrote a [5] on a cardboard card.

"Professor Sakai, is this painting that bad...... At least, it seems, it's okay, right? ”

The lady in a suit sitting in the corner of the coffee table interjected.

She is a middle-aged female translator assigned by the Yangon Tourism Department to the Sakai family.

None of Professor Sakai's family spoke Burmese, and if you want to go shopping, there are very few people here who can speak English.

People are curious.

She had been sitting in the corner of the coffee table silently drinking her coffee like a transparent person, but her eyes had been staring at the YouTube video on the phone screen.

She sees the pretty lady in a wheelchair and evaluates a work that looks okay as rubbish, while the Sakai family at the coffee table takes it for granted.

The translator couldn't hold back his curiosity.

She finally interjected.

It doesn't look stunning, but it's definitely not bad.

It uses bright colors and accurate lines to restore the image of Batman on paper.

In the background is the colorful city of Gotham.

Gunsmoke, dense fog, congested streets, and a variety of elements are abundant, and from her point of view, this painting is definitely a heart.

At least it's much better than the tramp's hand-to-hand graffiti of a dozen seconds.

She didn't understand why this one was eliminated by Anna first.

At this time, a bunch of question marks also popped up in the video comment area.

“SMH？ SMH？ SMH？ ”

(Shorthand for Shaking my head's comment, I don't understand, I'm dumbfounded.) ）

"Why is this painting the worst? I can't agree at all, isn't this 10,000 times better than the tramp's? ”

This is the questionable review.

"I don't care, what the pretty young lady said is right."

Here's a comment from licking dogs.

"There's shady!"

“FUCK！ Now even Mr. Hyperion is going to make a script because of the number of playbacks? It's so disappointing. ”

This is a comment attacking [Mr. Hyperion Channel].

“Bullshit…… Obviously normal people know who draws better, if this chick dares to give me a set of vague rhetoric now, then she is a bitch. Didn't she know that her evaluation might ruin a painter? ”

There are also many people who take this selection very seriously and can't accept this choice.

They think that Anna's choice is frivolous, at least the subjective perception of this painting is good, why should the other party call this painting rubbish?

Just because she's a so-called "art critic?"

Or is this a high-ranking aristocratic lady who has a stereotypical prejudice against cheap painters on the Internet?

Many people's words are more aggressive, and some people are even constantly blocked by the comment area of video websites.

"くそやろう (are stupid [beep])."

Sakai Tsunamasa glanced at the comments and subconsciously complained.

Then he was lightly kicked by Katsuko Sakai.

"Gangchang?"

Uncle Sakai also turned his head sideways and squinted at his son.

"I was wrong, Daddy."

Sakai Tsunamasa came back to his senses, and only then did he realize that he had said very dirty swear words in front of his father, mother, and sister.

He immediately raised his hand obediently, and before Daddy could sigh, he made a zipper motion on his mouth.

"Too bad...... It's really bad, if this is a piece of art that I want to evaluate, I can only give 0 points, and if you look at it more, it will be a waste of time. ”

"Are all part-time illustrators on the Internet this kind of person?"

Uncle Sakai then turned his head, faced the interpreter on the side, and explained the reason softly.

At this time, in the video,

The scoring for the painting continued, and after Mr. Hyperion gave a 5, the black guy gave a 4.

To everyone's surprise again, the insurance safety officer also gave a score of 0.

"Although I am a security guard, after all, I am in contact with art every day, and I can still see what is going on with this painting."

The bearded security officer shrugged and replied to the inquiring gaze of Thomas and the black boy.

"I think my audience is waiting for your explanation, what is so bad about this painting?" In the video, Thomas finally throws the question back to Anna.

"Because of this picture, no, this picture. Sorry, I can't even call it a painting, it's full of assembly-line electronic industry atmosphere. ”

Anna looked at the frame with disdain, and said something mean.

These hellish cheap painters are simply tarnishing the art industry in her heart.

"The smell of the electronics industry? Are you referring to computer drawing? AI，PS……”

"Don't get me wrong, illustrations aren't oil paintings. I have no bias against computer drawing. ”

The girl in the wheelchair held out a finger and shook it slightly, interrupting Thomas.

"Although this painting is obviously electronically printed, the assembly-line electronic industry atmosphere I am talking about is not a matter of the way of painting."

With the rise of the modern computer industry, computers are able to handle flat overlays better than painters, and can finely change the gray scale of color in pixels.

From Photoshop, the art color grading software that was first used in Cameron's movies in the 90s, to LLLustrator in the early 2000s, and then to Procreate, Sketchbook and other tablet drawing tools that are now popular.

Nowadays, less than half of the people who still insist on hand-drawing.

Especially in the illustration industry and the field of comics,

Only a handful of high-end illustrators who pursue the perfect texture of pen and paper are still using traditional methods.

But that's not the problem with this illustration.

"I believe that electronic software should be a Swiss army knife in the hands of the painter, and not the other way around, and the painter should become a puppet in the hands of the machine, so it is better to be a programmer."

Anna said coldly.

"Even if you are an ordinary person, if you have a certain level of artistic literacy like Mr. Security Officer, or are willing to take a little time and calm down to observe, you can see that Batman's hand holding the dollar in the picture is twisted and weird, not only is it unnatural, but the atmosphere of the whole painting can be called weird."

The video footage gives a close-up as Anna prompts.

In front of the zoomed-in lens, it is easy to see that Batman's hand holding the banknote is unnaturally twisted, as long as he is a normal person, it is impossible to grow into such a hand.

And its texture is completely different from the rest of the picture.

The rest of the picture feels more like a colored pencil, while the wrist part is closer to the texture of gouache, similar to two different pictures.

Or rather,

It's more like the hand in the original picture that was cut off and replaced with a plastic prosthetic.

……

"It's a Ps alteration."

Although everyone else present except for the translator is a professional art practitioner, it is clear what the situation of this painting is.

But Uncle Sakai was still very polite and pointed out the obvious splicing traces of the picture to the curious translator.

"If I'm right, the artist would have grabbed a random illustration of Batman in the database, and then P a few drawings and that's it."

Uncle Sakai was also a little unhappy in his tone: "To create this painting, you don't need any artistic accomplishments, you just need to watch a few PS tutorials on YouTube." ”

"While there are times in the art world when an illustrator is referred to as a taxi driver hired by his employer to drive, that's too much for cheap illustrators."

"If all painters are like this, sooner or later the industry will be replaced by AI."

Tsunamasa Sakai concluded, "It's not a good thing for the art world as a whole. ”

Compared with machines, painters must have their own ideas and have their own unique desire to express themselves.

The significance of painting is not in its external form, but in its ability to reflect the soul of the creator.

Especially from the perspective of the art market, such Ps alterations are completely worthless and have no aesthetic value.

It was understandable that she was hated by the young female art critic.

When you continue to play the video, a small line of small print pops up in the upper right corner of the screen.

[Under the reminder of Miss Yelena, after consulting materials in the studio and communicating with the artist.] It has been confirmed that the original drawing was from a 1948 cartoon from the late illustrator Bill Finger's Batman Deadly Joke, page 243.

After turning the original Bat Hook into a hand holding a dollar, the artist sold the artwork to the channel as an illustrator. 】

[Due to copyright risks, the mug on which the illustration was printed will not be on the shelves of Mr. Hyperion's store, and the channel reserves the right to pursue property damage caused by this.] 】

"This guy is miserable."

Cheap illustrators are really unreliable, and they dare to use the original drawings that are still protected by copyright and sell them as their own.

This is a big no-no for commercial manuscripts.

Tsunamasa Sakai sighed.

He really can't understand what these cheap illustrators think on the Internet, even if the level is not good, it doesn't even matter if the character is not good.

The discussion board on the right also began to turn immediately.

"Idiot, I said it a long time ago, this beautiful young lady must be right."

"I didn't even notice the arm of the sketch at first...... I didn't expect it to be a fabrication work. ”

"I'm telling you, cheap artists can't be trusted at all, and one of my school classmates is working part-time as an illustrator online, and at his level, I think the orangutan is better than him......"
