At present, everyone's evaluation of these characters is: cute, with obvious characteristics, but I don't know what kind of ghosts and snakes they are...
This was within Chen Mo's expectation. Looking at the characters out of the plot, it would be a ghost if he could see things.
Chen Mo asked: "Goldfish, if you are asked to complete the original drawings of these characters, including refinement and coloring, how long will it take? It doesn't need to be too detailed, and the size can be done according to my line draft."
Su Jinyu thought for a while: "Well... these cards are not too complicated, it should be almost done in four or five days."
Chen Mo shook his head: "Three days."
"Ah?" Su Jinyu hesitated, "Three days is not impossible, but the quality must be worse."
Chen Mo said: "It doesn't matter. Such a large card is still placed on the mobile phone. It doesn't matter if it's less detailed. It's okay if the quality is slightly lower. It can be gradually optimized in the future. Now we need to spread the quantity first."
Su Jinyu nodded with some embarrassment: "Okay, then I'll try my best."
Wen Lingwei said: "If it's refinement and coloring, I can do it too."
Chen Mo was taken aback: "Are you sure? These are official game resources, at least the players must not find any faults."
Jia Peng reminded: "The store manager, senior sister is also a serious art student, and she usually takes on original paintings."
Chen Mo suddenly realized, yes, people like Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng belong to the school’s Propaganda Department, and the Propaganda Department usually needs to draw posters, display boards, etc., can they become the minister or vice-department without some hand-painting and image processing skills?
"Okay, it's good for you to help draw together, it can save a lot of time." Chen Mo said.
Wen Lingwei showed a meaningful smile: "Then how much are you going to pay me, manager? One of my original paintings costs 5,000, which is still a friendly price."
Chen Mo: "... I can't see that you are still a big touch?"
Like card original paintings, the asking prices of painters of different levels vary greatly. There are eight or nine hundred ones, or eight or nine thousand ones, and there are even more expensive ones.
Of course, you get what you pay for, and there must be differences between a good painter and an ordinary painter in terms of composition, light and shadow, color, and so on.
Like Wen Lingwei, the price of a card is 5,000, which is still a friendship price. This is already a level that only well-known painters can have.
Chen Mo said: "But for your 5,000 yuan friendship price, don't you still have to design, compose, and communicate with the buyer? I already have this line draft, and the size is several times smaller than the original painting you usually draw. You can just refine and color it, and I'll give you two thousand, okay?"
Wen Lingwei: "Stingy."
Chen Mo: "..."
Wen Lingwei said: "Okay, for the sake of being so pitiful, it's two thousand for one piece, and one piece for three days. However, there are only two people, Jinyu and I, so don't be too slow."
Chen Mo looked at Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya: "If you want to draw, you can..."
Jia Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "We are not as high-level as our seniors, so we can at most draw some ordinary monster cards for you. Don't give us the protagonist cards."
Chen Mo nodded: "That's okay, I have to draw monster cards later, I can share some with you, and I will give you the money at the market price."
Jia Peng waved his hand: "It's okay, money is not important, just look at it and give it to the store manager."
Wen Lingwei raised her eyebrows: "How can that be done! The store manager is rich now, "Plants vs. Zombies" earns him two million a month, right? It's not that short of thousands of dollars."
Jia Peng nodded: "That's right. That's fine, just follow the market price."
Chen Mo: "..."
Wen Lingwei said: "Also, how do you and Jinyu calculate money? Don't say that because she is your assistant, you won't give money."
Chen Mo said: "Just like you, a card is two thousand!"
Wen Lingwei nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's about the same."
Su Jinyu originally wanted to say that he didn't want the money, but after thinking about it again, why bother with the money, so he accepted it happily.
Chen Mo was speechless, these people are really deliberate in order to earn the store manager's money!
Chen Mo roughly divided these cards into points.
Both Su Jinyu and Wen Lingwei's drawing skills are very high, and they are completely capable of drawing the protagonist's card. Moreover, it was easier for Chen Mo to communicate with the two of them, so Chen Mo planned to give the two of them some of the most important protagonist cards.
There are a few other students who can draw monster cards, and Chen Mo also reserved some shares for them.
According to the speed of one card in three days, Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu need to draw all 36 protagonist cards in a frenzied 54 days, which is obviously too slow, not to mention that this is only a part of the card, and the total number of cards is limited. More than three hundred!
This is different from the "Plants vs. Zombies" at that time. Many zombies in Plants vs. Zombies can be reused, and the plants are also very simple to draw. But in card games, the cards are almost equal to the main body of the game. Players won't pay for ugly pictures. Chen Mo dare not make do with it.
Therefore, if you want to compress this time again, you can only find art outsourcing.
Chen Mo said to Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu, "Do you know any art outsourcing companies? The more reliable ones."
Wen Lingwei thought for a while: "I know a family, and a few of my friends are all painters in it, and their level is not bad."
Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, give me your contact information. By the way, do you know the animation production company?"
Both Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu shook their heads: "I know a few, but I have no acquaintances."
Chen Mo said: "Okay, that's it, you guys first get the few protagonist cards I picked out just now."
Chen Mo turned and went upstairs.
Su Jinyu said, "Wait, store manager, what kind of game will we make next? Do we need so many card original paintings?"
Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, you will know in a few days."
…
Back on the second floor, Chen Mo was already a little sleepy, which seemed to be a side effect of the super accelerator.
According to the contact information given by Wen Lingwei, Chen Mo found the person in charge of the art outsourcing company, and then talked about the needs.
Chen Mo provided the line draft, so that the cost of modeling design and drawing line draft could be saved, and the time could be shortened accordingly.
In the end, Chen Mo negotiated a price of 2,200 protagonist cards and 600 monster cards.
Monster cards can be drawn more casually, so the price has dropped significantly.
After estimating in this way, Chen Mo would need to spend roughly 36×3×2200+200×600=357600, or 350,000, on a full set of cards.
Of course, some of the monsters can be changed and reused at will, but it is impossible to suppress it to less than 300,000 no matter how hard it is.
There was a lot of money, but Chen Mo didn't feel the pain. The money was really too low. Chen Mo was quite satisfied with being able to buy the entire set of card resources with 350,000.
Among them, Chen Mo gave Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu the 7 key cards of MT, Shaman, Silly Thief, Bad Man, Missy, President, and Big Sister to complete. It will take a month to complete.
Su Jinyu has to be in charge of game design, so Chen Mo can't let her draw cards all the time.
In addition, Chen Mo also distributed some monster cards to Jia Peng and the others, all based on the market price.
All the other cards will be handed over to the outsourcing company. Anyway, within two months, all the cards will definitely be made without landing.
