Chapter 38: Hand-painted, hand-painted, hand-painted,
Her idol said she was looking forward to meeting her.
She said she was looking forward to...
Hehehehehe...
Ah! ! !
Looking forward to waiting to look forward to looking forward to—
Xu Yichi screamed silently after putting down his mobile phone, and then rolled around on the bed holding the pillow uncontrollably.
The consequence of being overly excited was that she really lost sleep that night. When the alarm clock rang the next day, she managed to get up despite her headache and full body sleepiness. There were already two fist-sized bruises on her face. dark circles under eyes.
"Morning, Xiaoyi, come down for dinner, and come over to take a look at the first draft of the character design we just made last night." Bai Miaomiao, who was playing with two bowls of hot soy milk, greeted her with a smile. He lifted his chin and pointed at the coffee table.
Xu Yichi heard the sound and looked in the direction she pointed out. Sure enough, he saw the bright screen of the notebook on the coffee table, as well as a few pieces of paper placed peacefully on the large pile of waste paper next to the computer. Zhang hand-painted color manuscript.
"Good guys, Xiaobai, you two are so efficient this time!" The little girl raised her eyes in astonishment, with a hint of disbelief in her eyebrows - they had previously received an order to make the preliminary designs of the two skin-changing mini-games. I wasn't so active when I was working on the draft. Every time I had to wait for Party A to urge me, and then I reluctantly came to the table to work.
No, no, not to mention Party A’s bad money-making orders - even when they were working on the two independent small games they independently developed, the efficiency of these two bastards was not so terrifying. Wow! !
“Oh, isn’t it because we have secured investment this time!” The Hanfu girl tore up the fried dough sticks and said lightly, “One hundred and fifty—our studio has not invested since its establishment. Live such a prosperous battle!”
“It’s time to meet with Researcher Yang next week with a plan. Why don’t we hurry up and make more molded things? Otherwise, it would be a shame for Researcher Yang’s trust in us!” Youyou drifted towards the toilet, "By the way, where is Qingqing? Why didn't you see her so early in the morning?"
"She knows you don't like fried dough sticks, so she went downstairs to buy you steamed buns, and by the way, give her a cup of black to keep her alive." Bai Miaomiao responded casually, and inadvertently glanced at Xu Yichi's face while speaking. She was immediately startled by the two huge dark circles under her eyes.
“Hey~ Good guy, Xiaoyi, are you so excited that you’re going to meet your idol that you didn’t sleep all night?” The Hanfu girl frowned in disgust, “You have such big dark circles under your eyes that you could cosplay a national treasure. !”
——She was far away and couldn’t see clearly. She thought that their Xu Da Production was in the rare mood to give herself a smoky look, but she didn’t expect that it was actually a 24k pure makeup that she stayed up all night. Congestion.
Tsk... She immediately sent a message to Qingqing, asking her to bring an extra cup of Americano to wake this kid up.
Bai Miaomiao thought, and her subordinates actually did this.
Xu Yichi, who had washed his face, felt that his head was slightly awake, and he hurriedly smiled slightly at his beautiful mother.
"Hey...Xiaobai, don't always expose me so directly~"
——She still wants to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf!
"Okay, come and eat as soon as you finish cleaning up. You - Qingqing is on the way back and will be home soon." Bai Miaomiao snorted coldly and pushed the prepared tea eggs and side dishes to the small table. In front of the girl.
The latter stared at the breakfast on the table eagerly, and finally he was too embarrassed to leave An Qing to start working alone, so he wandered to the sofa again. "Then I'd better take a look at the draft you drew first and wait for her a little longer, Xiaobai." Xu Yichi said, picking at his fingers, "Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to eat the monster alone."
"Okay, then I'll just pick out her share of tea eggs - Qingqing doesn't like egg yolks." Bai Miaomiao, the mother of all people, nodded happily and started to work. It’s also exceptionally neat.
Xu Yichi curled his neck and carefully picked up the manuscripts on the coffee table. The human designs that caught his eye were bright and dazzling, with elegant and agile lines and a dash of the unrestrained charm of traditional Chinese painting. This is what Bai Miaomiao is best at, A painting method that combines freehand techniques.
"To be honest, Xiaobai, I have always felt that the things you draw with pen and paper are much prettier than those drawn with computers and digital tablets-" Xu Yichi briefly turned over the manuscripts, I couldn't help but smack my lips and sigh.
——The drawings carefully processed using computers and digital tablets are indeed perfect, but when placed next to such manuscripts, she always feels that those electronic drawings seem to be slightly less clumsy. smell.
Even if it is painted with the kind of specially prepared ink strokes that are as realistic as possible, it is no exception.
Maybe it’s because electronic drawings don’t have that kind of “uncertainty” where each stroke has a probability of showing a different effect.
“Of course hand-painting and board-painting cannot be exactly the same.” Bai Miaomiao smiled with her eyes bent, and complied without raising her head, “But for the sake of the production effect and efficiency of animation and games, you You can’t let me draw the whole process by hand, right?”
“-It’s okay to just draw a few scenes and characters, but you have to do all the drawings. Close-ups of action shots and transitions are all included, frame by frame...I'm afraid my arm will be broken!"
"That definitely can't be done frame by frame. "Xu Yichi shook her head - she just felt that Bai Miaomiao's manuscript was more beautiful and soulful than the electronic manuscript, but she had no intention of being a black-hearted boss and squeezing her good sisters.
"But... maybe you can draw a few more pictures, and then we can use technology to build the animation path, or directly build a model to complete the actions in the middle?" The little girl rubbed her chin in thought, "Based on the current animation technology. Look, the effect shouldn’t be that bad.”
—Anyway, they have sufficient funds this time, so at worst they can temporarily hire two technical experts to help them out.
"Draw a few more pictures and use technology to complete them..." Bai Miaomiao subconsciously repeated after hearing the words, and pondered for a while, "That's okay."
"In this way, the manuscript painting is actually It’s faster than electronic manuscripts! It’s just that scanning and uploading and cutting out pictures are slower, but as long as you remove It would take a lot of effort to draw and light the background and characters separately outside of the key shots, and then use software to process them together later.”
“Wuhu~ That’s great!” The movement startled An Qing, who had just entered the room, and he almost spilled the two cups of coffee with a shaking hand.
Fortunately, the "experienced" director An Da had a complete and mature response plan for the various convulsive behaviors that her own producers would show up from time to time. She was only slightly confused for a moment, and then recovered immediately. normal.
"Okay, I'll wait and see. Come over to eat first, so as not to suffer from hypoglycemia later." An Qing waved calmly, put down her things and went to the toilet to wash up. When she first entered the house, she was surprised. Shen noticed the bit of coffee she spilled on her arm.
On this day, except for opening the door to get takeout, the three of them did not step out of the house again for the whole day.
When night fell and the moon began to rise, they finally revised the first draft of the character design and the plot outline of the first two chapters of the game that everyone thought was perfect——
Then they cheered and collapsed. fell to the ground.
