Chapter 13 – Volume 3 – Incarnation Advent (3)
“It’s only been a month? Master, what did Siwoo say?”
“They were delighted. This time, I came for an exhibition of new works… I don’t know if this is possible because it’s a bit unusual.”
When I took out more than 100 manuscripts and put them down, the employee’s expression was colored with absurdity.
Honestly, even if I think about it, it would be absurd to bring more than 100 paintings at once to be displayed.
However, this was also the amount of compromising in order to end the story at an appropriate point, so there was no choice.
“It’s not multiple pieces.”
“Aren’t there multiple works?”
“Yes, all of these are combined into Master Siu’s new work titled ‘Hwasin Advent’.”
“Um, wait a minute. The situation is different from normal works, so… How should I display this?”
I have to see the work in a form that continues from the previous content, but because of that, I had to view the work in one direction unconditionally.
Also, since the progression of the manga sections is drawn in the direction of reading in this world, it would be better if the previous one was on the left and the next one was on the right.
Also, I added that I would like to exhibit it together, if possible, as my last work, ‘Hundreds of Flowers’, is also related to this work.
She jotted down all of this with a pen and went inside, asking for a moment.
‘It’s probably not an easy part.’
It’s a new work by a popular writer who is making the biggest hit right now, so they treat it this way.
If that wasn’t the case, I thought that if someone with no brains came and asked for such an out-of-standard exhibition, even I would refuse.
Ha, but there are many other things to ask for other than this, but it’s a big deal.
“You waited long?”
“It’s okay. I understand. It was a reckless request.”
“Once this is the amount, fortunately there is one more exhibition hall left, so I think it will be okay if we use it there.
“That doesn’t matter. He said he would be very grateful as long as the exhibition period was consistent with the number of recommendations.”
This is how it works
When I exhibited this piece of hers, I was relieved to see her explaining a certain form of her.
If this is rejected, I was wondering how to disclose this, but I’m glad.
“And about ‘hundreds of paintings’ that are currently on display. This is a matter of an already exhibited work, so it was rejected because it would cause confusion if moved. What should I do?”
“Ah, then would it be possible to have a copy?”
“Then we’ll proceed that way.”
“If you make a copy, can you give me a few copies?”
“Why copy?”
“In fact, Master said that he wanted to make copies of ‘Sou Hundred Flowers’ and new works this time and sell them. But this is not just using ‘Sou Hundred Flowers’, but there is something more to be added on top of it. Of course, not the original, but only copies for sale. .”
“Oh, really? In the case of copies, they are currently being supplied across the country, so there should be extras. I’ll give them to you if you take the payment from the top.”
Come to think of it, I heard that copies of popular works are exhibited nationwide.
I didn’t really think that my work would be like that, so when I heard that story, I felt strange.
So you’re saying that my yajjal is now on display at art museums across the country?
Oh crazy
“By the way, are you selling all of these as copies? It seems like too many. If that’s the case, the unit price is…”
“Is it possible to make monochromatic copies for regular books?”
“Yes? Of course, it’s not a work, but there are times when it’s necessary, so there are facilities. Huh? Wait a minute. This can’t be…”
“This new work is all drawn in a single color. There is no transparency, so I think it could be made into a book.”
“Assuming you’re going to make a book out of this?”
“Yeah.”
It was only then that he seemed to realize why there were so many copies of this work and why it was suddenly black and white.
While the words are out, it will be easier to handle the work if you tell all the related stories, right?
I took out the sample cover I had brought for illustration and started explaining it as well.
“If you make a book with the system now, it will be made in black and white unconditionally, right?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“Then, now, we print a color work like ‘Hundreds of Flowers’, fold it in this form and insert it into a book. Then, it becomes a prettier book because the color is visible on the outside. Wouldn’t the production cost be right at this level?”
“How can you think of this…”
“I don’t know, right? Master has such a peculiar personality.”
Hiding behind an imaginary Siwoo Master is so comfortable.
The part that is ambiguous to answer is that the teacher is like that and I can just say I don’t know.
It’s not good to have a taste for this trick…
“Master called this the cover. Anyway, when he asked for copies of hundreds of paintings, he said that he would use hundreds of paintings to design the cover.”
“I’ll have to check closely, but I don’t think it’s impossible.”
“Anyway, Master also said that the cover design takes time, so I think you should take your time looking into it.”
“Okay. I’ll start with the most urgent exhibition.”
I said it was okay to slow down, but she shook her head and said time was very tight.
At first I was like what the heck was that?
After the exhibition was completed, I could understand the situation only after seeing a familiar person appear.
“Are you here?”
“Keuheum, I’m sorry. I’m too excited for my age.”
“Hello. Elder.”
“Oh, hey. The smell of oil painting has disappeared from your body. You seem to be practicing magic, right?”
“Ah, what are you…”
That’s not to say that she couldn’t say that all month long she held a pen and drew only manga.
She nodded her head as if that was how it felt, and moved on.
Anyway, since the representative of the art museum came to visit, did you rush things?
“To say that it is a new work by artist Siwoo, even a work that has changed from the framework of the exhibition. I have to be curious and bear it.”
“Ahaha…”
I came expecting that, but what if I don’t like it?
Rather, I feel a lot of pressure, so I’m in a state of embarrassment in many ways.
Had I known this was going to happen, wouldn’t I have just gone to the dorm and rested instead of looking at the state of the exhibition?
‘No, if the order is wrong, it’ll be a headache. I have to do a final inspection.’
Elder Sharon headed to the viewing hall where I had just finished the inspection, and she slowly and silently began to watch ‘Hwasin Descent’.
Looking at the squares in the right order even without explanation, it seems that arranging them in that order was the correct answer.
I could feel the several silent nods or short exclamations of admiration as I carefully studied page by page and then moved on to the next.
Do you feel better than you thought?
‘Looking at the letters, this is not a picture! I thought I could say the same thing.’
He seemed to have no such prejudice at all, and was smiling with a genuinely happy expression.
I never thought I would live and see my grandfather who is over 100 years old reading comics with eyes like that in real time.
It was something to live and see many times in the world.
While I was thinking about that, the manga continued to progress, and the final part was slowly progressing.
It is a scene where the main character, Albedo, who has returned to normal life after all the incidents, feels empty.
If ‘Several Hundreds of Flowers’ were included in the work, it would probably not have appeared in this scene.
“To say it ends here. Your teacher is also very naughty.”
“Ahaha…”
The advent of incarnation ends with Nigredo appearing in front of Albedo, who felt so empty.
This is a work that was drawn with the sequel in mind, so it is an unavoidable ending.
And I personally don’t think the ending that ends with such a tickling feeling is personally bad.
“Actually, at first I wondered why the hell the work was done in black and white. Of course, it wasn’t that there weren’t such works, but at first it took a long time to color, so I thought I chose this because of the time.”
Honestly, isn’t it hard to see that it’s not that?
Full-color comics are monsters that take a lot of time even if they are drawn digitally, but if you did that in analog, it would have taken three times as much time to draw this much.
Even if you draw it like a screen tone, there is no part that speeds up a little later.
“Are you thinking of making this into a book?”
“That’s right. You haven’t heard yet.”
“It’s because he came from here as soon as he arrived. As expected, this was going to be made into a book. Ha, really, your teacher is a terrible guy.”
“Is that so?”
He nodded, and pointed to the gray areas I put in as screentones and started to mention the finely detailed patterns one by one.
These are compatible with existing paintings to create a book with the already completed copying technology, while giving a similar contrast to the existing paintings.
That it is so amazing.
“It seems like an idea created by introducing pointillism, but it’s more like the result of people’s research for a long time, rather than someone’s idea.”
“Kuhmm…”
He must have been trying to give an example, but rather it was very close to the essence, so my conscience was very stung.
To be honest, the comics I brought today literally contain the essence of the development of the comics industry on Earth.
Even though comics are mine, there were a lot of things that stung me about the technique.
“In fact, if that were all, it would have been just a strange wizard trying to get you to enjoy a copy of the painting at a low price.”
“Then…”
“This rectangle puts time into the picture. In fact, there was a similar shape in the past, but you completed it so neatly.”
“Do you take your time?”
“Every time this square passes next, the next situation unfolds, so how is this different from painting time?”
…Was comics originally something of such a high level?
