Chapter 163: A Very Long Painting
Dear Lin, you call this ...... Draw?
In the dim cave, in the flickering candle flames, looking at the so-called drawings placed in front of them, Mr. Krent and the orcs were collectively stunned, which can almost be described as messy in the wind, and at this moment, in their dizzy heads, all had only one thought left.
You know, leaving aside the orcs, who have no artistic ability to speak of, Mr. Krent, who has always been eager to blend in with the upper circles, has always been very subservient and elegant, and extremely willing to spend money on art, although in the end it is used to raise cobwebs.
In his understanding, the so-called paintings are nothing more than two kinds, either pencil sketches, or oil paintings with colorful oil paints, in fact, for thousands of years, the artists in the world of Contens, have adhered to this painting theory, and created many classic masterpieces.
But the question is, who can tell me what this pile of suspected drawings in front of me is?
An expensive piece of paper, as white as snow, is neatly divided into four small squares, each square is a separate picture, and there are characters and backgrounds in the picture, but both the background of the characters and the style are extremely strange, neither pencil sketches nor oil paintings, but like ...... Like ...... Well, like graffiti, more elaborate and lifelike graffiti.
Not only that, but around the heads of those figures, there is often a small box extending out, and there are one or two lines of text written in the box, combined with the character's facial expressions, these words should be what he said, but the question is what kind of painting will add the language of the characters?
And that's not the weirdest thing, the strangest thing is that if you combine all these drawings, you'll be surprised to find that they're intimately related to each other, what should I say? It seems that they are not simple portraits of characters, but the development of the plot and content, and the story is told in a jumping way......
"That's right!" In the eyes of a group of people, Lin Taiping finally put down the cup of tea and coughed lightly with a smile, "Yes, as you can see, this is not so much a painting as a comic?"
What's going on?
Angelina and the orcs looked at each other, completely unaware of the meaning of the name. Mr. Krent was even more stunned, staring at the sketch in his hand for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stammer: "This thing, how did this thing be drawn?"
"Want to know?" Lin Taiping looked at him with a smile, and then looked at Angelina and the orcs around him who were also full of curiosity, "Okay, it's actually very simple, although I've never drawn a comic, but at least I've seen a lot." So just find a guy who knows how to draw and ......"
Then, recalling the comic works he had read, Lin Taiping began to guide very irresponsibly. To be honest, he didn't know any comic skills at all, but he guided Miranda to slowly adjust his style according to his own preferences. Keep getting closer to the direction of the comics......
In fact, the dozens of drawings that have just been taken out are not really comics at all. Whether it's the style of painting or the power of the pen, it seems a bit nondescript, and there are even traces of oil painting skills, but who cares, anyway, in this world, no one has ever seen a real comic, right?
"So, we just drew it like that. Knocking on the stack of sketches on the table, Lin Taiping happily made a summary, and then turned his head with a smile, "Of course, I'm just responsible for building yì, and it's ...... that really completes these cartoons Miranda?"
In the midst of a large number of drawings, Miranda raised her head in confusion, and she was biting a paintbrush made of her own feathers in her mouth.
"Miranda?" Mr. Krent noticed, almost subconsciously turning his head to look.
Almost instantly, Mr. Krent's eyes suddenly widened, his face was flushed and his fat was trembling, and then he immediately stepped forward politely, gently took Miranda's right hand, and gave a very gentlemanly kiss: "Ah, beautiful young lady, please forgive me for my rudeness, and may I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"
Dumbfounded, Miranda stood there dumbfounded, and even forgot that he had withdrawn his right hand, in fact he couldn't do it if he wanted to, because Mr. Krent held the soft little hand tightly, as if he had seen a rare treasure, and refused to let go.
This is not the end, while his face is full of tenderness and affection, Krent did not forget to turn his head and looked at Lin Taiping expectantly: "Dear Lin, you really are, you have never introduced me...... What, take the liberty of asking, does this beautiful young lady have a boyfriend, or does she have a husband?"
Absolutely not, Lin Taiping denied it very seriously, and the orcs behind him also shook their heads neatly and desperately.
Great, waiting for this sentence, Krent's eyes suddenly glowed green, and he immediately grabbed Miranda tightly, and introduced himself seriously: "Beautiful young lady, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Krent, I am the president of the Gold Business Alliance, I own three shops under my name, I am healthy, my mind is flexible, I have a noble character, and I am still un......married."
"Save ...... Help......" Poor Miranda burst into tears, especially at the sight of Mr. Crent's devouring greedy gaze, and felt even more terrified, and even the feathers stood straight up.
But the problem is that his resistance is useless, Crent has already taken "her" pink little hand, gushing desperately praise: "Ah, beautiful young lady, your painting talent really admires me, maybe we can take a time to go for a walk together, by the way talk about the drawing skills of comics, in fact, the moonlight tonight is very charming......"
In this way, in the tears of Miranda pear blossom with rain, Mr. Krent took turns to take turns with various pickling skills, and the orcs squatted in place speechlessly, looking at the on-site conversation of the love at first sight version, and suddenly felt that the mood was very complicated...... Well, it's a complicated undead, I should say it's schadenfreude!
"Ahem, is this really good?" Angelina was still a little sympathetic, and couldn't help but look at Lin Taiping, "Xiao Linzi, we really don't tell Sù Krent the truth......?
"Don't be stupid, tell the truth now. Krent would later be suspicious of women all over the world. Lin Taiping clapped his hands very irresponsibly, thought about it and coughed lightly, "Okay, Mr. Crent, you will have a lot of time to spend with Miranda in the future, as for now, should we continue to talk about comics?"
Thanks to this reminder, Mr. Krent finally managed to get rid of the love at first sight, and looked at the drawings again, and Angelina also leaned over to look at them curiously. It's just that after only looking at it for a few minutes, the two of them suddenly sighed, and their eyes widened strangely: "Wait, this one looks familiar, it seems to be ...... Like ......Pirates of the Caribbean?"
Answer, Lin Taiping gave a thumbs up with a smile, these dozens of drawings are based on the popular novel "Pirates of the Caribbean", and as an avid fan and loyal reader of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is certainly not surprising that Angelina can recognize it at a glance. But that's not the point, the real point is, is the comic book version of Pirates of the Caribbean a popular from the eyes of the two of you?
Does this still need to be asked?, Angelina and Mr. Krent nodded neatly. Although they are already familiar with the plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean", they still have a completely different and fresh experience when they look at the dozens of drawings that have been adapted into comics, and they can't help but want to read it in one breath -
In fact. After all, the text is not so intuitive, so when the original plot is shown in the form of pictures, it undoubtedly gives the reader more impact. Captain Jack, who originally only kept zài in his mind, and the Black Pearl that he originally needed to imagine, all appeared vividly in front of your eyes, and even people couldn't help but exclaim from time to time: "I, it turns out that Captain Jack will also put up an orchid finger, it turns out that the Black Pearl is more powerful than you imagined......"
Not only that, the adapted painting style is also very fresh, although it is still a little rusty, but under this unique painting brush, the whole comic presents a magical color, coupled with the occasional exaggerated body movements of the characters, as well as the language style that makes people smile, it makes people have a huge sense of substitution when reading, as if they have really entered the magical world of the seven seas......
Because of this, whether it was Mr. Crent or Angelina, they were all carried away for a while, shoulder to shoulder, head by head, and concentrated on reading together, until dozens of drawings were turned over, the two of them stopped unsatisfied, Krent couldn't help but sigh, turned his head to look at Miranda with a fanatical face, and only two words were written in his sparkling eyes - "Urge!"
If you think about it, if you can make a merchant with a head full of gold coins calm down and watch, then you can imagine how most people in the chaotic seas, especially those nobles who have nothing to do, and those avid readers of the Pirates of the Caribbean novel version, will react?
"So, in other words, there will be a market for these comics?" Lin Taiping sipped his tea and knocked on the sketch very happily, "In fact, I've been thinking that there are tens of millions of people in the entire chaotic sea area, excluding those who are not interested in this, let's sell tens of thousands of copies, isn't it too much?"
Excessively, to hell with too much! Mr. Krent, whose face was flushed, suddenly jumped to his feet, and knew that after the initial adaptation period, this set of comics would soon be able to quickly become popular throughout the chaotic sea with its special style and fresh experience, especially those readers who fanatically liked the "Pirates of the Caribbean" novels, and would never hesitate to spend money to buy them.
What's more, this is only "Pirates of the Caribbean", and there are also popular novels such as "Huanzhu Gege", "The Lord of the Rings", "Dragon Lance Chronicles", etc., if these novels are all adapted into comics, even if it is only in the chaotic sea, even if it is just to sell a gold coin, even if it is ......
Needless to say, thinking of the wonderful scene of using gold coins as a mattress in the future, Mr. Krent gasped heavily, and directly grabbed Lin Taiping's arm, at this moment, there was only one question left in his mind - what should I send my sister to Lin's bed, or should I send Angelina to Lin's bed.
"Wait!wait!" However, at this moment, Angelina, who had already been regarded as a gift, suddenly frowned slightly, and raised her fishtail with a distressed face-
"Xiaolinzi, Krent, I suddenly realized that we seem to have ignored a strict question!" (To be continued......)
