Chapter 87 – Volume 18 – People Who Walk on Time (2)
“The reaction is better than I thought.”
While I had time left after a long time, I was looking at the reservation status of ‘An elf who dreams of having an affair with an orc is still frustrated tomorrow’, which I posted the other day.
I passed by without thinking about it, but when I felt a sense of déjà vu, I ran to it and said ‘Uh, uh?’ In surprise.
After that, I felt very cute and proud when I made a reservation right away.
No matter how much I think about it, I think I did a good job with that old teddy bear picture I took as a picture for the pre-registration reward this time.
Naturally penetrating the theme of this work, and letting you notice the previous work at once.
It was perfect for the role of a picture promoting advance reservations.
‘Well, it’s because it came out so often that it was pitiful.’
That teddy bear is an expression of the old teddy bear that the elf plays with when he is alone in ‘An elf who dreams of having an affair with an orc is frustrated today’.
Even before connecting with the Orcs, it was a doll that was used as a target for taking out anger or talking to oneself while playing with it.
It will feel familiar to those who have seen the cartoon subtly.
Harp will play with the doll in an old state this time.
In that way, there is an episode that continues from the previous work, and through that episode, the picture of this old teddy bear was conceived.
To be honest, there is a very old teddy bear standing in the middle of the paintings full of people and landscapes, so it’s only natural that it attracts attention.
If that eye is drawn to a sequel to a work you know, it stimulates your desire to buy.
“Surprisingly, there were a lot of people who just bought the goods coolly this time around.”
I feel happy because I feel like I am being trusted with something.
Whatever it is, if it’s related to this work, you want to buy it.
In that respect, it also meant that I was recognized for my work, so laughter naturally flowed out.
Anyway, after making a reservation with a teddy bear like that.
Pre-booking-limited products that can be handed over through advance reservations.
It was a kind of viewing ticket with the teddy bear on it.
‘The exhibition part is not a problem.’
First of all, regarding the work, I went in the direction of submitting the manuscript by finally finishing all the contents.
The biggest problem is that only the manuscript has been completed, and preparations for the exhibition to be viewed using the ticket just mentioned are slow.
This is what I thought in my head and the result is very different…
“Ah, here you are. Samples are here.”
“Yes, thank you.”
I was looking around the exhibition hall eagerly, but the voice I had been waiting for finally appeared.
I heard that the sample printing took longer than usual today.
He nodded as he saw that he had prepared a lot of things in various ways, and that he had packed a lot of things.
For some reason, I’m glad that you seem to be sincerely stepping up to help.
“This is the finished book. This is the cover, and finally the ticket. As you said, a ticket is a form that needs to be stamped to complete it.”
Oh, I asked for the ticket in that form.
Perhaps because I put so much effort into the draft design, the design of the ticket itself was flawless and clean.
As much as it has a strong feeling of goods, unlike the real ticket, it is much thicker and smoother, and it is conveyed at once with a high-quality material.
I like this very much.
And the design of the dojang came out as I thought.
Even the final design of the stamped ticket was perfect.
This stamp is immediately taken by those who have made a reservation in advance.
Those who have purchased goods in advance reservation will be paid without taking pictures.
And later, after the viewing, a small copy of the watched work is handed over and stamped.
It was planned to be used to determine whether the goods were paid later.
“The book is perfect as always. It’s amazing that there are no defects.”
“It’s fortunate. Anyway, this pre-order picture, and the cover picture, too. I like that they’re so cute. Just looking at them seems to heal my heart.”
“Ahaha… The tickets are perfect too. In the end, the most important part of the exhibition is the problem…”
“I will. Ha, it’s difficult.”
First of all, I was most worried about whether to allow viewing only for those who made a reservation in advance.
It was fortunate that they accepted the project, which required a separate room called the exhibition hall, as it was.
Originally, it was content that would be rejected due to fairness, but since it was for preview, I was able to get permission on the condition that it would be fully disclosed later.
I even decided to host a national exhibition that I wanted to try if possible.
From the beginning, the original was not posted, and the exhibition was held only with large-sized copies from the beginning.
It is to make it possible to see the same work no matter where you are in the country.
Actually, if you look at the planning like this, I admire myself too.
Even the staff who heard the story nodded their heads.
Originally, it should roll smoothly without any problems, but…
‘Everything I do for the first time has no choice but to go through a lot of trial and error.’
It is also an exhibition of paintings drawn with techniques that are not commonly used in this world.
Even from the very beginning, because of the inherent limitations of this exhibition method, the work differs so much from a person’s viewing angle.
So, it was not easy to find the right angle and unfolding condition in the actual exhibition.
“Then there…”
“Yeah, that sounds good…”
We spent a lot of time thinking about what angle we should put it to look appropriate.
Also, from that angle, I want the work to look like a perfectly completed flat painting, not to feel like it is folded like a staircase.
Even changing the level of folding the picture in detail.
I tried to raise the quality of the exhibits by squeezing out ideas to solve a variety of things.
After finishing the detailed quality-up work of the work like that.
What remains is the connection with the space where the work is displayed naturally.
As much as you have to look at it from a certain angle to see the work properly.
I had to intend to see the painting from that angle through the surrounding space.
“If you put the sole shape here on the floor. I think it’s naturally intended that way. Yes.”
Also, as much as the picture shows not one but two forms.
You should naturally move to a position where you can see the next picture, and induce them to see the viewing angle from the moved position.
In many ways, there were many things to consider outside of the work.
Goods, it feels like a toy that you deliberately look for that angle in the first place.
Since the exhibition is the first time seeing this painting, I thought it would be good to make sure that the viewers can focus only on the work.
Still, I guess this should be enough…
“But even if you catch them all like this. It’s a bit unfortunate that if you do it strangely in another area, it’s the end…”
“That’s a bit of an ambush. Oh, or how about that?”
I drew a blueprint based on nothing in the darkroom at all.
The arrangement of everything, including lighting, is made and sent based on successful tests.
Then I think we can make it as similar as possible.
“I think it would be a little better if we had them all take pictures at the end, and then do a final review after looking at the pictures.”
“Oh, there are pictures too. Why didn’t I think of that?”
It hasn’t been long since it came out yet, so it’s more unusual to think about it naturally.
It’s me, because I always have memories of the world where there was a camera.
Anyway, even though it wasn’t perfect, it was fortunate that a rough solution came out little by little.
“Then, based on what has been said, I’ll set up a test exhibition hall. When it’s finished, we can deliver it to the Graveda Academy, right?”
“Okay, then I’ll come out and help you.”
“You’re having a hard time. It’s not your work, it’s Master’s work.”
“It’s okay. Not even for a day or two.”
“Ahaha…”
Seeing that the story had been delayed a bit because the story was longer than expected, I left the exhibition hall in a bit of a hurry.
There is still some time left, but if you delay for no reason, you will be late.
There is enough time that I don’t have to be late, but I didn’t think it would be like that.
“After that, it was close.”
“Oh, Carly.”
“Are you late?”
Even though I came right on time, I heard that I was late.
Of course, rather than reprimanding it from the beginning, it was a warm atmosphere, as if I wanted to see it, but why are you coming now?
…Or rather, I wonder if that’s even more terrifying?
“There’s still time. Are you all hungry? Let’s order quickly.”
“I have this!”
Of course, there is no way that I, who attends the academy, can come out and work without any conditions.
In the name of club activity, everyone came out together, and then they were active in a way that individual activities were divided into detailed activities.
But in the end, we have to go back together, so we make an appointment like this and go back after having a meal or snack together.
“Did you do everything you had to do?”
“Uh. Maybe. Rosaria?”
“It’s been a while since I did a lot of shopping. Tada!”
“Five…”
Seeing that the other two have plenty of similar envelopes.
For some reason, it seemed that everyone was attracted to Rosaria and hung out together.
As expected, YuRia’s expression was unrecognizable just by looking at it, so it was difficult to immediately figure out if she was having fun.
Orca seems to be having a lot of fun, so I think she had a lot of fun.
“Oh, right. So, when will Carly I show you?”
In the meantime, Orca, who was happily eating, asked so quietly that Yuria couldn’t hear.
I insisted on not showing it, saying that if it is released unconditionally, look for it on the same day.
“Hey…”
“It’s a big deal if it’s leaked after showing it for nothing. Can you understand?”
“Yes…”
By the way, when Orca saw this new work, I was a little worried about what her reaction would be.
Surely I’m not sad enough to handle it…?
