Chapter 261 The devil comes again on the sixth day? !
The design and drafting of "GANTZ" went very smoothly.
Namikaze Yukaku's drawing skills have reached 90, which is relatively higher than Okuya's level back then.
In the early days of Killing City, many characters' faces were crooked, and their bodies were even uncoordinated. Even in the later stages, there are many manifestations of weak painting skills.
But his painting style is praised by many people, especially the charming charm of women, which was definitely quite progressive 24 years ago.
It even ranked among the top 20 in a painting style selection in 2020.
Of course, this is mainly due to the extra impression created by the girls in his paintings.
It’s just that it’s 2024 now.
Sir, times have changed, and the way of drawing big breasts will also change.
Even the painting style of master TONY can be said to be outdated, let alone Oku Koya 24 years ago.
The style of Japanese comics has evolved from the era of pointy-faced melon seeds, and has entered a stage where cute painting style dominates and realistic painting style plays a supporting role.
Oda Shingo focused on the image design of Kishimoto Megumi, Shimohira Reika, and Kojima Tae, and discussed them with Namikaze Yuzaku for a long time.
Oda Shingo: "Let's first complete the character design of the first female character to appear - Kishimoto Megumi."
"Hiyi!"
"You have to look pretty, but not very pretty. When you teleport without clothes, you have to be stunning, but not too beautiful."
After all, she is the female character in the opening scene, but she doesn't like the male protagonist. She has to find a balance between the fans' feelings.
It should be said that the initial design of the original author on Earth, Ou Hirozai, was based on his personal preferences.
Many of Okuya's previous works have shown his preference for characters with short hair and big breasts like Kishimoto Megumi.
It can even be said that of course this is also related to the popular trend in Japan at that time.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Japan had a popular new women's trend, which was characterized by women's independence. They advocated not following men's preferences, expressing themselves without growing long hair, and even not wearing bras became popular, so there were many women with short hair and big breasts.
Maybe Okuya's youthful enlightenment started with a girl like this...
Oda Shingo was thinking this and kept saying: "She should be a girl who doesn't like to wear underwear, so when you draw, you can highlight her curves and flexibility."
"Hiyi!"
"Side close-up, stay above the hips, push the waist back, and maximize the temptation of the upper body."
"... Shingo, you are so understanding." Namikaze Yukaku said with narrowed eyes.
Oda Shingo scratched his head and quickly made an excuse: "This is to attract manga fans."
Namikaze Yukaku actually just said the previous sentence, not that he had any intention of boycotting the protest.
The two quickly completed the draft design of the comic and entered the collaborative drawing stage.
With the two people's seemingly tacit cooperation and the blessing of the system's effectiveness, the first three episodes of "GANTZ" were completed in just three days!
When the supplement department of Springfield Bookstore's "RED" received the sample manuscript, the editor-in-chief and several editors under Takano Ran were all dumbfounded...
[The minister asked me what I was doing kneeling down, and I said I was reading a new comic sent by Oda-sensei...]
The official website of "RED" issued such an editor-in-chief's self-reported advertisement.
Since "RED" had a small readership, there wasn't much at the beginning.
But a day later, many comic fans came to their senses.
What? ! Oda Shingo-sensei has a new comic out?
Not the main magazine of "Champion", but the supplement "RED" of Springfield Bookstore? !
Even the Yu San Family in the comics industry reacted greatly to this. After Qunyingshe confirmed the news, an ad hoc meeting was held as soon as possible that day.
The Lecture Club and Student Hall also held online meetings.
"Are you going to roll it up again?" Many cartoonists wanted to cry without tears.
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" is updated to 150 pages each time. Do you know how many pages the cartoonist has consumed and how many cans of coffee he drank? How many sleepless nights have you spent?
Now the appetite of manga fans in the comics industry has been whetted by Oda Shingo.
I usually update one episode every week, which is considered diligent. With two episodes, comic fans are so happy that they want to celebrate the New Year.
But what about now? As soon as the update was mentioned, Oda Shingo was brought up to talk about it.
Look at Mr. Oda, 150 pages per week! That’s simply the amount of updates for a single book!
How come you are seeking death and survival when you update one episode every week?
You lazy workers! Do you fall in love with your female assistant every day? Do you play GALMAME every day? Did you go play with that black monkey?
As a result, cartoonists in the industry could only pretend to be cowardly and did not dare to talk back.
There is no way to talk back. Who can update like Oda Shingo?
There were once three young cartoonists who actually announced that they would update 150 pages a week!
"If Oda Shingo can do it, so can we! Let's fight for the sake of the lovely comic fans!" The three brave men held their heads high and launched a pursuit battle against the Demon King!
Oh—comic fans applauded, hoping that this would be a spring breeze that would lead to faster updates in the comic industry.
But other cartoonists seem to be looking at two idiots...
Do you know that comparing people to each other will lead to death?
The result? Due to the decline in quality and insufficient popularity votes, the two works were quickly cut in half.
Another person was sent to the hospital with hematuria as a result of drinking too much energy drinks and staying up late for a long time. As a result, the work was suspended for at least three months!
After three months, the cucumbers and vegetables have become cold since I came back! A cut-in-half future is definitely waiting for him.
But if there is the devil of darkness in the world, light will be born.
Finally, JOJO announced that the first part was over, and everyone was celebrating. It felt like the darkness that was weighing on their heads had faded away, and the dawn finally shone warmly on everyone.
But it has only been quiet for how many days?
"That abominable Demon King of the Sixth Heaven is here again!"
But will Oda Shingo’s new manga be good?
Countless people are looking forward to it, and many people are looking forward to having fun.
Oda Shingo Studio.
"GANTZ" has entered the stage of preparation for serialization. On the other hand, Todo Xiangcheng is still practicing the basics of painting.
"Be patient and draw the character expression samples a few more times." Oda Shingo assigned daily learning tasks to Toudo Xiangcheng.
Fujido Xiangcheng looked at the 32 character expressions and 64 character posture samples and asked casually: "About how many times do I have to draw them?"
"500 times!" Oda Shingo's answer was shocking.
"..." After hearing the number so many times, Toudou Xiangcheng stared. How much time will this take? Don’t you know how to calculate it? What a waste of time!
"What are you doing? Don't you know the basics? Don't think that just because you can draw a few close-ups and full faces, you can draw comics. Lay the foundation now, and don't cry if your movements are slow when you start serializing."
"I've drawn it very well!"
Oda Shingo had a tough attitude: "Then you draw me a close-up of a female character leaning down, exposing her chest with a V-shaped neckline, and seducing the male protagonist."
Before Todo Koucho could react, Mikami Yuko on the side was dumbfounded.
This, this... is Oda-sensei thinking about something serious?
However, Oda-sensei is probably not such a person.
I must have misunderstood something! Yuko Mikami tried her best to get rid of the plot of the book that kept popping up in her mind.
