At noon the next day, Ma Yang sent the revised demand form to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian looked at it and saw that this demand table was really well done.
It's just like not writing it!
Although Pei Qian has never been in the game industry, this demand form is a template on the resource station. The above also briefly mentions some basic rules for writing demand forms.
Simply put, the more details the better.
The image the designer proposes is often illusory and vague, while the image the artist wants to draw is often figurative and detailed.
In this process, it is easy to make mistakes.
For example, a designer wants a "super handsome male character", which is a fairly vague and impossible to quantify standard.
What does it mean to be "extremely handsome"
If the artist draws a character that he thinks is particularly handsome, will the designer be satisfied? Not really.
After all, aesthetics is a very subjective thing.
Therefore, the designer should be as detailed as possible when raising requirements, preferably to be accurate to what clothes, hats, weapons, and obvious features the character wears.
It would be better if there are similar reference pictures.
There is a joke in the game circle:
Design to tell the program: "What kind of function do I want! What is the design concept of this function, and what effect does it want to achieve!"
The program said impatiently: "Just say which function of which game you copy, and show it to me."
The designer said to the artist, "What kind of character do I want! What kind of appearance and character should this character have, to highlight the feeling of so-and-so!"
The artist said impatiently, "Just tell me which character to copy, and show me the picture."
Not all because I want to be lazy, but mainly because too much information is lost from text to picture.
When making a similar demand table, it is natural that the more detailed the description, the better, and the richer the reference picture, the better, so as to ensure that the things drawn by the painter and the original image in the designer's mind do not deviate too much.
Look at this demand table given by Ma Yang.
Totally hilarious!
Take Guan Yu as an example.
"He's a dragon, a humanoid dragon."
"As the Dragon Martial Saint, he is considered the pinnacle of martial power."
"Walking on the tip of a knife all his life, his understanding of fighting and killing is completely different from that of ordinary people."
Gone.
Another example is Ma Chao.
"It's half-human, half-horse, so it's called 'alien'."
"Ma Chao is different from other centaurs, with obvious characteristics of dragon blood, such as dragon horns born on his head."
"Perhaps it is precisely because of half of the dragon blood that Ma Chao has obtained a powerful strength similar to that of the dragon."
Another example is Zhuge Liang.
"Zhuge Liang in his youth was known as the greatest inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer during the Three Kingdoms period."
"His research covers many cutting-edge fields such as artificial lightning, weather weapons, aircraft, autonomous vehicles, and robots."
"At the same time, he has the titles of poet, philosopher, music connoisseur, linguist, etc."
Zhuge Liang has more descriptions than the previous two people. Obviously, Ma Yang wrote hi when he wrote it.
In addition, there are the guardian dragon girl Zhou Cang, the Phoenix orphan Pang Tong, the crystal ice girl Xu Shu, the mechanical puppet Huang Yueying, the blood lord Guo Jia, the dragon hunter Lori Lv Meng, the night ranger Taishi Ci, the lonely swordsman Zhou Yu and so on. series of characters.
Basically, except for the name and some corner features, it is completely incompatible with the characters of the Three Kingdoms!
These contents are basically of no help to the artist's creation.
And, obviously, it could be written in more concise words.
For example, it is enough to write "Guan Yu is a humanoid dragon" directly, and the following words are completely nonsense.
But for Pei Qian, this is a perfect demand table!
He even thumped himself with joy.
As expected of Ma Yang, reliable!
It is absolutely impossible for Pei Qian to write such a thing by himself!
Sure enough, it was a very correct choice to bring Ma Yang as his own employee!
Pei Qian did not change a single word, and directly sent the request form to Ruan Guangjian.
Five minutes later, Ruan Guangjian replied.
"Is your request form too omitted?"
"It's difficult for me to draw like this, there is no clear standard."
Pei Qian was already prepared, and immediately said, "It's okay, you open up the painting and design it at will! Even if you think this requirement is unreliable, it's fine if you don't follow it completely, I believe in your professional ability!"
Ruan Guangjian: "...No, we signed a contract, we have to have a standard. Wouldn't it be troublesome to argue?"
Pei Qian hurriedly said: "Really! I completely trust your artistic level, you can rest assured that what you draw will be what you want, and you will never be allowed to revise it repeatedly! You can keep a screenshot of my sentence as evidence. Or if you think it is necessary, we can write it into the contract."
"That's not necessary... Okay, then I'll take a look at it." Ruan Guangjian replied.
Pei Qian was relieved.
He was really afraid that Ruan Guangjian would be so stunned that he would have to publish a particularly detailed version of the original painting requirements here, and then paint it seriously.
Now that this is the case, both parties are relieved and happy.
There was still some money left, and Pei Qian didn't keep it. The next step was to buy music sound effects, buy other art resources, rent cloud servers, and so on.
These don't cost too much money, Pei Qian calculated it just right, and only left about 10,000 yuan for emergencies.
As for the promotion expenses made by the game...
Of course not a penny left.
No promotion at all! It's better that no one knows about this game!
Pei Qian felt that his future was bright and continued to spend money.
…
A University of Finance and Economics in Magic Capital.
Art bedroom.
The accommodation here is much better than that of Handong University, where Pei Qian is located.
On the bed and off the table, the dormitory is air-conditioned, very new and very spacious.
Thanks to the resource station established by ESRO, many art students can receive some private work online during their college days, improving their lives a little.
Moreover, the works during this period are also beneficial to the future job hunting after graduation.
Ruan Guangjian put the mouse down and shouted: "Old Huang, Lao Zhou, hurry up, call the others, finally come to live!"
Soon, the other five people in the dormitory gathered around.
"Three weeks, 50 sets of original paintings, a set of 4, 3,000 yuan! How about it, awesome?"
Ruan Guangjian is a very spirited young guy with short hair, fair skin and straight facial features. He has absolutely no artist's style.
His roommates are quite different. Some have long hair and tattoos. Anyway, they have their own characteristics.
Lao Huang, with a moustache, was the first to come over: "4 pieces for 3,000 yuan? Damn it, it's ok! Just charge this price, and I also recognize the Q version! For the sake of life."
Ruan Guangjian shook his head: "What is the Q version, this time it's not the Q version! The customer said by name that they don't want the Q version, and other styles are optional!"
Lao Huang was shocked: "Ah? I remember that the representative works you uploaded are all Q-versions? This client has also nominated Q-versions, so is he out of his mind and looking for you?"
"Fart, this is a person who knows people with discerning eyes!" Ruan Guangjian rolled his eyes, "I hate drawing Q version the most, but now that the Q version characters are popular in mobile games, I can only receive orders from the Q version before, which is also a last resort. Now that I don't draw the Q version, I finally have the opportunity to show off my skills!"
"You want to paint your own style? It's not suitable..." Lao Huang hesitated. "The client spends money, but you use the money to paint what you want to paint. This..."
"The client said that he believed in my artistic level and professional ability, and let me design completely by myself!"
"And when you look at this demand table, it just coincides with my thoughts!"
