"Ding! Trigger the achievement task [Cartoonist]."
"The task requires serializing a comic work and releasing a single volume."
"Complete the task and get the [Cartoonist] achievement title (drawing skills +3, design +3, screenwriting +3)"
This is also an achievement task with only one progress, and there is a reward of 100 points after completing the progress.
Owning a serial comic and publishing a single book is indeed worthy of the title of cartoonist.
This achievement title has a bonus of three attribute points.
Painting skills, including the basic knowledge of painting and painting techniques, are all known to Meng Fan after he was rewarded for painting skills before. Moreover, this painting skill does not only include animation and manga skills, but also dabbles in other types, but Meng Fan Only comics are relevant.
Drawing skills are the basic ability of an original artist.
Design, including character design, scene creation, modeling setting, etc.
Screenwriter, including screen creation, adaptation, plot, storyboard, etc.
From the description, this is the ability needed to create a comic.
Meng Fan is also very clear that creating comics is inseparable from these three attributes. It is definitely a good thing to get such attribute bonuses, and it is also an attribute that all animation majors dream of.
It would be perfect if there was another related attribute for post-finishing and rendering.
Meng Fan chose to study painting and majored in animation. Naturally, he didn't want to be able to draw and illustrate, nor was he just fooling around. The ultimate goal was naturally to become an animation practitioner.
Participating in the production of an animation and creating a comic are both Meng Fan's pursuits.
He started his first manga creation very early. In high school, the result was unsuccessful, which also gave him a sense of awe in the creation of manga.
Since entering university, he has never given up on the idea of creating comics, but he has never picked up a pen either. He is accumulating strength and preparing for the day when he feels that his drawing skills and screenwriting skills are good enough. , The research fields are enough to support even half of a manga... I feel that all the preparations are in place and the time is right, so I will start to create manga again.
Since his rebirth, Meng Fan has been rewarded with drawing skills for the task of [Illustrator]. Meng Fan is very clear about the level of his drawing skills. It is definitely enough to support a manga, and even his drawing skills can surpass more than half of the professions. Cartoonist's.
In terms of design, he has always been a leader in this session.
In addition, there is also hand speed, which can largely solve the two important factors of efficiency and even perseverance.
Although [Illustrator] still rewards imagination, Meng Fan feels that what he lacks most is screenwriting ability, which is the most important ability, far more important than drawing skills.
Now there is an achievement task to increase the screenwriting attribute, but I am not ready to create comics, so can I get it
Of course!
In Meng Fan's view, this task is very simple.
One, serialization is not difficult. Nowadays, Huaxia Manga.com doesn’t know how many people there are. It’s as easy to upload serialized comics as it is to serialize web articles. Even if the system doesn't approve of online serialization, Meng Fan still has a way to find a comic to serialize. The system doesn't have requirements for the circulation of the comic.
Second, it is not difficult to issue a booklet. It was difficult to find a serialized website or a publishing house to help Meng Fan publish it, but Meng Fan could afford to publish it himself. It is impossible for the system to require someone else to pay for it, and it is impossible to have a requirement for the number of publications... right
Don't even think about selling it for money after it's published, just give it away.
In the end, with Meng Fan's drawing skills, imagination, and learning animation for so many years, it is not difficult to create a comic, but the quality is another matter.
What made Meng Fan a little puzzled was how the task was triggered. What is the trigger mechanism of this system
It would be understandable for Gentiana Qin to ask or suggest that he create comics to trigger this task, but this is fundamentally someone else's business.
Could it be because of the mention of creating manga? It's also impossible. Lao Ma's comics course mentioned creating comics at least five times in each class, so why didn't it trigger it.
Or was it because the system was stimulated to think that Meng Fan could do it because he heard that someone else was going to create a manga, so he casually lost a task
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Gentian asked after seeing Meng Fan's strange expression after agreeing.
"What else can I do if I'm not happy."
After triggering the new task, Meng Fan felt elated. How could he say it? Qin Gentiana was speechless with his expression of turning grief and anger into appetite.
Qin Gentiana was really helpless: "If you eat like this, let alone ten kilometers, you can't lose twenty kilometers every day."
"I can run 20 kilometers every day, but it's rare for you to pay for the treat yourself!" Meng Fan continued to struggle while staring at the plate on the table.
"You! Come on, eat more!"
"Where are you going?"
"The bathroom. Why, are you afraid that I will run away?"
"Um!"
"How about you follow?"
…
At nine o'clock in the evening, Ah Feng and Lao Cai had just left the dormitory building to go to an off-campus Internet cafe for the night, but they were stopped after a few steps.
"Young Master Hu!"
The two yelled a name that they thought was super disgusting but Hu Tingsong liked it so much. They approached with a smile and asked, "Do you have anything to do with us?"
With a sullen face, Hu Tingsong took out a handful of cash: "Help me teach someone a lesson. Two thousand yuan will buy you cigarettes. As long as you don't move the knife, I can help you suppress the consequences."
The two laughed, and cursed in their hearts, don't say it nicely, teach people what kind of knives they use! We are not evil, so we naturally took the money and asked: "Who offended our Young Master Hu? It's a matter of one word!"
Hu Tingsong gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "Meng Fan."
"Who?! That fat guy from the animation department?"
Ah Feng stuffed the hand he just got back into Hu Tingsong's hand, with a bitter face: "Young Master Hu, others are easy to talk about, but he, we really can't help it!"
Thinking about helping Zhao Changgui find Chen Daqiang's troubles that night and being run into by Meng Fan, the two of them wanted to cry a little. The pain of being held with one hand and not moving can't be understood by ordinary people. !
Thinking about it again, the two also want to understand why Hu Tingsong is looking for trouble. It seems that the sufferer in the story of "three thousand is better than ten thousand" is the one in front of him!
That's right, this iron tower man can run ten kilometers, you say it's scary, isn't it scary!
Hu Tingsong frowned: "You two are still afraid of him?"
The two directly nodded and admitted, and Lao Cai thought for a while: "Why don't you think about other bad moves."
…
For the evening live broadcast, Meng Fan followed the original plan. There were no illustrations, and all the drawings were mechs. It's just that the ancient Chinese culture was the one I had the most contact with since I was a child, and I also like it. This mecha was drawn in the direction of the Dunjia by the powerful ancient Chinese culture.
It's pretty cool to engrave a set of inscription patterns with thunder cloud patterns on the whole body of Gundam. It's also very convenient for Transformers to bless a gathering spirit array with gossip as the main picture as an energy block!
The live broadcast ended early at nine o'clock, and he continued to sit in the studio thinking about comics.
After thinking about it, he took out his phone again, and sorted out the ideas, settings and some plots that he thought of over the years in the memo.
After sorting it out, Meng Fan found that he actually had a lot of preparations to create a comic.
Among other things, the fields studied alone are enough to support most of the characters, shapes, scenes, etc. of an ancient-style comic.
And Meng Fan felt that he could indeed start from this aspect.
Although the achievement task of [Cartoonist] made Meng Fan eager to obtain the title attribute, and it was indeed possible to obtain it quickly, but after much deliberation, Meng Fan still felt that a certain quality was needed.
Not to mention strict requirements, at least you can do it well, no matter what, you have to be worthy of your current painting skills!
