Chapter 307: The Agency for Cultural Affairs wants to recommend Oda Shingo?
The painting for the first part of "Goblin Slayer" has come to an end, and the storyboards and main paintings have been completed.
"Teacher Oda, I am ready to unlock new knowledge! In order to cooperate with you, I am willing to do anything!" Yuko Mikami bowed deeply to Oda Shingo.
If it were Todo Orange, Oda Shingo was sure that he would see a very deep ravine.
But with Yuko Mikami's body, even if Oda Shingo's mind went wrong, he still felt guilty and tortured when it came to unlocking new postures.
"You don't have to be so serious, it's just a new manga." Oda Shingo thought to himself, don't always say words that are easily misunderstood. Think about it, your brother just ran away in tears yesterday.
"No, Mr. Oda's comic concept is really great!" Yuko Mikami said sincerely, "The desire in my heart can no longer be contained. Please Mr. Oda, please satisfy my emptiness as soon as possible!"
Oda Shingo sweatdropped a lot: "Your desire to draw comics has been unstoppable. I will draw the storyboards as soon as possible to satisfy your emptiness."
He has already drawn the character design of the working cell.
As the preliminary preparation for comics, the character design draft is a yardstick to ensure a unified character style.
For example, in order for readers to recognize the character at once, most characters in the early stages of comics had fixed costumes. So how to maintain the consistency of clothing in different storyboards requires setting drafts.
A character is drawn from multiple angles to gain a visual understanding of characteristics. The requirements of comics are not as strict as animation, especially not as strict as 3D animation, so the specific measurements may not be marked, but the intuitive impression must be clear to the main artist.
According to the general concept of comics, the preliminary preparation alone takes about a week, and it also needs to be revised later.
Oda Shingo has the memory of the earth, so he can get twice the result with half the effort, and he paints directly according to the finished product in his mind.
"What needs to be done is mainly to integrate the painting style." Oda Shingo made arrangements.
Integrated painting style, that is, unifying the painting styles of the main creative storyboard and the main pen, so that the work can form a unified sensory style.
This is a task that some comic studios whose assistants also serve as chief writers often have to do, and it is an inevitable stage of multi-person cooperative comic studios.
The more typical ones are Fujishima Kosuke and Matsubara Hidenori. The two of them actually left a lot of sequelae because of their fusion of painting styles.
Before, Oda Shingo asked the girls to draw "JOJO" and "GANTZ", which also went through a period of fusion of painting styles.
Many domestic comic studios have ignored or underestimated
"Hey!" Yuko Mikami said nothing and immediately started drawing plot characters.
Based on Oda Shingo's design draft, white blood cell brother, red blood cell girl, platelet loli, and macrophage big sister quickly appeared on the paper.
The characters are drawn repeatedly one by one, allowing these characters to penetrate deeply into the main artist's strokes, which is the fusion of painting styles.
Because each work needs to express a completely different atmosphere and plot, it requires different painting styles to achieve the best effect.
Just like if you draw "Cardcaptor Sakura", you can't draw it in the style of "Fist of the North Star", otherwise you will only end up with works like "No Bathroom"...
If you can't appreciate it or masturbate, what's the use of it? !
Well, it’s still fun to watch, at least the plot of the bathroom is pretty silly.
But this is naturally not the effect that Oda Shingo wants to pursue.
"Yes, Mikami-kun's integration of painting styles is progressing much faster than I thought!"
With a painting ability of up to 90 and a system aura bonus, Yuko Mikami was able to draw in a decent manner in just one day. Oda Shingo was very happy. He didn't expect that they would be able to explain the new postures so quickly by cooperating with each other.
Why? It’s over, I’ve been led astray. Oda Shingo covered his forehead, suspecting that there was something wrong with his thinking.
"Shingo, this manga is really interesting." After reading the setting draft and the plot summaries of the first few chapters, Yukaku Namikaze looked at Oda Shingo with gleaming eyes.
"You also want to draw together?" Oda Shingo was confused.
"No, I hope you promise me that you can give me such a carefully conceived work in the new comics in the future." Namikaze Yukaku smiled.
"..." Oda Shingo looked familiar at this smile. Why did it look like Mrs. Yukino's? Do women compete with each other to learn about appearance?
Seeing him in a daze, Namikaze Yukaku asked: "What's wrong? Why are you dazed?"
"Well, I think, are you promising too many things to a woman?" Oda Shingo touched his neck, feeling a bit dangerous.
Namikaze Youhe chuckled: "You deserve it, you keep making various promises. Remember, don't make promises to others easily in the future."
Oda Shingo nodded.
I still owe Mrs. Yukino a comic, but fortunately she is not in a hurry.
In the next few days, Oda Shingo started drawing multiple comics step by step according to his work plan.
There are already a lot of manuscripts for "GANTZ", and a lot of "Spy House". The village defense battle of "Goblin Slayer" has been drawn, and the first part can be called to an end for now.
Then, you can start drawing "Working Cells".
A few days later, a new issue of "RED" was released.
The scene of long queues at the door of bookstores, with comic fans waiting for the release, reappeared.
Taking advantage of its large length, the plot of "GANTZ" has already reached the end of the Bird Stars, and soon entered the battle between the Gods and Stars.
The battle scenes are becoming more and more tense and exciting, with plasma splashing all over the place, and the ways of death becoming more and more bizarre and eye-catching.
But the trend of discussion about this comic online has quietly begun to change.
Fans' view of this comic has quietly changed from focusing only on the female characters' figures and close-ups of bloody killings to thinking and analyzing the characters' personalities.
[It has all the elements found in Hollywood blockbusters, but the emotional description has Japanese delicacy! ]
[This comic is very real! Most ordinary people do not have the courage to face death, but the protagonists in some hot-blooded comics are extremely heroic. I have always found it unbelievable that this type of protagonist can instantly become a hero. ]
[Overcoming his own fears, being able to find hope in despair, and being able to fight hard against an enemy ten times stronger than himself, he will gradually become a hero. ]
[Kato is a typical protagonist template, he can shoulder a responsibility, he is full of charm, but I just admire him and like him, but I don’t think he will be myself. I have no sense of empathy for this character because he is a good man with almost no flaws and a true gentleman. ]
[What you said above is so right! I feel that Genno Kei is more real, almost an incarnation of myself. I am attracted to big breasts, and I also choose to run away alone when deciding whether to save others. This is the protagonist I should take on, this is real human nature! ]
The reputation of "GANTZ" has gradually changed from the yellow, red and black three-color market demand version to the high-end aspect of "Parasite".
Just when many comics critics had no time to react to this surprise, a piece of news was surprising.
A well-known manga informant broke the news: [The Agency for Cultural Affairs’ 2023-2024 Excellent Manga Awards include Oda Shingo’s “Parasite”! At the same time, he will be the Rookie of the Year! 】
As soon as the news came out, the comic industry was shocked.
This is completely the opposite result from the Comics Association’s evaluation!
Is the Agency for Cultural Affairs going to officially recommend Oda Shingo? !
