Chapter 12 – Volume 3 – Incarnation Advent (2)
“Oh, this seems to have taken longer than expected.”
To be honest, it wasn’t that much, but it was my first time, so there were so many things I had to draw screentones for.
It took way too much time to work on it.
Of course, one of the reasons is that I pushed the drawing to the limit while trembling because I wanted to give it my strength at the thought of being the first manga to be shown in this world.
Rather, the lined ones are a backup, so I tried several times and picked the best one.
Of course, since I pulled out more than 100 pages in one month, you might think that I worked at a moderate speed.
It was a disappointing pace, considering that I was only immersed in this while cutting down on real sleep.
In fact, I was only taking screen tones during the time I was supposed to rest, so I had no choice but to be in a mental state.
“But you shouldn’t worry too much about it. It’ll be a bit faster for the next one anyway.”
I’ve picked out quite a few types, including screentones that can be used in everyday parts, as well as those that can only be used in battle scenes.
I thought that the next work would probably take much less time than this.
Actually, even when I was originally working digitally, when I was looking for the brushes I needed or when I was getting used to the work environment, the work speed was slow.
“It’s been a while.”
The capital, which returned after a month, did not change much more than expected.
Even in the case of the inn I was previously staying at, it was still there, and it even recognized me, which gave me a strange feeling.
Well, in the first place, not much will change in a month.
In fact, what I was most curious about was whether his paintings were still getting good grades.
Anyway, at that time, the number of recommendations that would last for more than a month was received, so the exhibition itself would still have been.
Still, as it was a popular work because of its novelty, I don’t think it’s getting as many recommendations as it did back then…
“What is this…?”
Weird?
Am I sleepy right now so I’m seeing something empty?
I was full of mulberries at the thought of seeing the uniquely emotional works I felt when I came here the other day, but now it is not that, but it is full of works that make me doubt my eyes in many ways.
What’s going on now?
First of all, in the case of my work, while maintaining a steady number of great recommendations, it was still maintaining the top rank.
Yes, this is really something I should be thankful for, and I think it’s also something I should be happy about.
The problem is that the paintings next to it have changed a lot.
“No, is this, is this the fuck?”
Excluding the hit works that were very popular in the past, the atmosphere of all the paintings has changed.
The reversed direction was very similar to a certain painting.
Of course, that picture was the ‘Several Hundreds of Flowers’ that I drew.
The entire museum was filled with cartoon illustrations similar to mine, enough to be described as a feast of chewy drawings.
Of course, the last time I came here, ‘The World Inside the Door’ was a sensation, so there were many works similar to it.
I have often seen them even sticking to the upper ranks.
But now it seems to be worse than then, it was a shorter time than then, but there were so many replacements of the top-ranked works that were made during that time.
Seeing this situation in which all of the original blockbuster works have been turned into cheesy paintings, even I, who love those cheesy paintings, became dizzy.
Does this really scare you?
‘Ahh, at this level, I don’t think I have anything to say even if the community criticizes Siwoo for messing around with the other world…’
Actually, since it was in the early days, there were many similarities with my painting style, but that’s because it will take time for artists to find their own painting style.
Personally, because I love the feeling close to my painting style, there was nothing bad about it because I enjoyed it.
This is individual difference, but there are many people who love my paintings that much, so I think this is a rather grateful situation for me.
Rather, what was worrisome was that the unique characteristics of the existing paintings of this era would disappear.
They are also really beautiful in my opinion, and styles that need to be preserved…
Well, since this is just a fad, will that style survive?
Maybe I’m worrying too much.
‘The top ranks are definitely stabilizing their own shadows.’
Even while adopting a different method than oil painting, artists who maintained a stable cartoon style stood out.
The colors and textures are definitely different, so those things have a distinctly different atmosphere.
It’s amazing that I can follow the genre of Chewduck painting to this extent in just one month.
Looking at the top ranking now, it was difficult to feel a big difference from the top rankings of popular modern picture sites.
Certainly, in this world, only one hobby, painting, was terrifyingly developed.
Is it because there are many wizards who are sincere in painting because of the unique characteristic that horses are a hobby, and that their magic skills, which are their main job, are improved even through hobbies?
These drawings in front of your eyes must be the result of their skill and effort poured into comics for a month.
“Yeah, it’s rude to think about how far you’ll go with this or something like that.”
It would be the right response to simply feel the aesthetics left by the person who painted this painting and to look at it purely as the painting itself.
I put down the sunglasses I was wearing until now and started looking at the painting with a serious mind.
Certainly, even if I say that I lead the meta, everything I want to say through these pictures is different.
“Is the only thing that resembles a shadow?”
There were also things that were almost imitations in the lower ranks, but basically, all of the upper ranks were at different levels except for the commonality of the chewy drawing style.
In particular, I thought it was a good direction to style a number of paintings in a way that properly expresses clothes, even though it was a craze that started with perverted paintings of the naked body.
Certainly, even clothes are beautiful when someone puts them on and someone takes them off, and if everyone takes them off, the meaning fades.
In fact, everyone knows that the beauty of comics is not determined by clothes.
The present results are probably because both the painter and the viewer do not forget that clothes also have beauty that they can show.
Of course, the ratio of undressed paintings increased compared to before, but as they were all different in composition, they expressed a different taste of nudity.
‘Looking at it like this, am I still moderately healthy…?’
It’s just that, just like a certain painting style is popular depending on the era, I was the trigger and the next painting style became a chewy cartoon.
Well, after listening to her talk the other day, it seems that everyone has been waiting for this ‘beauty that only pictures can achieve’ because of the advent of the camera.
Even if it wasn’t a chewy picture, it must have been on the verge of changing the style to something similar.
I just played the role of pulling the trigger.
And when I slowly recalled my memories and matched the artist’s name with the previous work, I was able to confirm that, unexpectedly, a lot of the atmosphere of the previous works remained.
At first, I was taken aback because there were so many chewy pictures.
The more I looked at the flow seriously, the more I realized that it wasn’t something to worry about.
For example, let’s say there is an artist who is good at drawing dresses with very detailed wrinkles and expressions.
So, his previous works look like they were taken in a photo if you look lightly, but if you look closely, the wrinkles are so delicate that he used to express beautiful clothes that are difficult to express even with a few photos.
However, the picture he drew this time was a cute girl, but he was still drawing a really beautiful and elegant dress.
Especially in my case, it is a drawing style that gives up quite a lot of hair details.
Originally, a certain painter who was characterized by drawing hair in detail and beautifully used a drawing style to express the beauty of the finely fluttering hair in a cartoon style.
Even though I would have only had the original comic book to refer to, I couldn’t help but rate these people highly because they brought and applied only the things they needed.
“Oh, do you have something like this?”
And there were a lot of works that made quite interesting attempts.
The work I’m looking at right now called ‘Mirror World’ has two vertical paintings with exactly the same composition and setting.
However, the left side was drawn in real life and the right side was drawn in cartoon style, so the feeling of mirrors symmetrical to each other based on the line in the center was saved.
While preserving both the beauty of a live-action painting and that of a cartoon painting, it was a work that showed that the difference between the two was well thought out.
And I don’t know if this was a good attempt, but it contained so much of the comic style that it’s hard to believe that I figured it out in just a month.
They are really great people.
“Maybe, it’s a blessing to be able to work with such great people.”
It’s me, I learned painting in an era where such paintings were natural, and I’m just bringing those obvious things and unfolding them.
The skills of the painters here who dismantled it and quickly digested it as their own were more frightening than that.
I really learned a lot from watching here today.
After seeing these results, I wondered how they would react to the fact that it was a cartoon.
What if the area originally only possessed by novels was brought into the picture here?
I really began to look forward to what kind of reaction these deceased painters would show.
