Chapter 16: Unreliable Demand Table!

At noon the next day, Ma Yang sent the revised demand form to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian looked at it, this demand table is simply amazing.

It's like not writing!

Although Pei Qian has never worked in the game industry, this requirement table is a template on the resource station, and it also briefly mentions some basic rules for writing a demand table.

In a nutshell, the more detailed, the better.

The image proposed by the designer is often illusory and vague, while the image to be drawn by the painter is often concrete and detailed.

In this process, it is easy to deviate.

For example, if a designer wants a "particularly handsome male character", this is a rather vague and simply impossible to quantify criterion.

What does it mean to be "particularly handsome"?

If the artist draws a character that he thinks is particularly handsome, will the designer be satisfied? Not necessarily.

After all, aesthetics are particularly subjective things.

Therefore, designers should be as detailed as possible when putting forward requirements, and it is best to be precise about what clothes the character wears, what hat he wears, what weapons he uses, what obvious characteristics he has, and so on.

It would be better if there were similar reference diagrams.

There's a joke in gaming circles:

The designer goes to the program and says, "What kind of feature do I want?" What is the design concept of this feature and what kind of effect does it want to achieve? ”

The program said impatiently, "You can copy which feature of the game and show it to me." ”

The designer went to the artist and said, "What kind of character do I want?" What kind of appearance and personality should this character have, and highlight the feeling of so-and-so! ”

The artist said impatiently, "You can just say which character to copy, and show me the picture." ”

It's not all because I want to be lazy, but mainly because I lose too much information from text to screen.

When making a similar demand table, it is natural to describe as detailed as possible and the reference drawings as rich as possible, so as to ensure that the things drawn by the artist do not deviate too much from the image in the designer's original mind.

Let's look at the demand table given by Ma Yang.

It's all self-exaltation!

Take Guan Yu as an example.

"He's a dragon, a humanoid dragon."

"As a dragon martial saint, he is considered to be the pinnacle of martial arts."

"Walking on the tip of a knife all my life, my understanding of fighting and killing is completely different from that of ordinary people."

Nope.

Another example is Ma Chao.

"The appearance is half human and half horse, so it is called 'alien'."

"Ma Chao is different from other centaur princes, with obvious dragon blood characteristics, such as the firstborn dragon horn."

"Maybe it's because of half of the dragon bloodline that Ma Chao has gained a powerful power similar to that of the dragon clan."

Another example is Zhuge Liang.

"Zhuge Liang in his youth is known as the greatest inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer of the Three Kingdoms period."

"His research covers many cutting-edge fields such as artificial lightning, meteorological weapons, aircraft, autonomous vehicles, and robots."

"At the same time, he enjoyed several titles such as poet, philosopher, music connoisseur, linguist, etc."

Zhuge Liang described more than the two people in front of him, obviously Ma Yang wrote hi as he wrote.

In addition, there are a series of characters such as 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 Lu Meng, the night ranger Tai Shici, the lonely shadow swordsman Zhou Yu and so on.

Basically, except for the name and some corner features, it doesn't match the characters of the Three Kingdoms at all!

These contents are basically not helpful to the artist's creation.

Moreover, it can be written in more concise words.

For example, just write "Guan Yu is a humanoid dragon", just do it, and the words behind it are complete nonsense.

But for Pei Qian, this is a perfect demand table!

He even beat himself with joy.

It is worthy of Ma Yang, reliable!

Let Pei Qian write this kind of thing by himself, it will never be able to write!

Sure enough, it was a pretty right choice to bring Ma Yang as his own employee!

Pei Qian didn't change a word, and directly sent this demand form to Ruan Guangjian.

After five minutes, Nguyen Quang Jian replied.

"You're too omitted to ask for this table???"

"It's hard for me to draw like this, I don't have a clear standard."

Pei Qian had already prepared, and immediately said: "It's okay, you open the painting and design it at will!" Even if you feel that this demand is unreliable, you can't do it completely, I believe in your professional ability! ”

Ruan Guangjian: "...... No, we signed the contract, there must be a standard, in case the time comes, isn't it troublesome? ”

Pei Qian hurriedly said: "Really! I have complete confidence in your artistic level, you can rest assured, when the time comes, you will draw whatever it is, and I will never let you revise it repeatedly! You can keep a screenshot of my passage as evidence. Or if you feel the need for it, let's put it in the contract. ”

"That's not necessary...... Okay, then I'll watch it. Nguyen Quang Jian replied.

Pei Qian was relieved.

He was really afraid that Ruan Guangjian would be stunned and would have to publish a particularly detailed version of the original painting here, and then draw it seriously.

Now in this way, both sides are relieved of trouble, and both are happy.

There was still some money left, and Pei Qian didn't keep it, the next thing was to buy music and sound effects, buy other art resources, rent cloud servers, and so on.

These didn't cost much money, Pei Qian calculated correctly, and only left about 10,000 yuan in case of emergency.

As for the promotion of the game......

Of course, not a penny was left.

I didn't plan to promote it at all! It's better that no one knows about this game!

Pei Qian felt that his future was bright, and continued to be busy spending money.

……

A university of finance and economics in Modu.

Dormitory of the Department of Fine Arts.

The accommodation environment here is much stronger than that of Handong University, where Pei Qian is located.

Beds and desks, the dorm is air-conditioned, new and spacious.

Thanks to the resource station established by ESRO, many art students can receive some private jobs online during their college years to improve their lives a little.

Moreover, the works during this period are also beneficial for future graduation and job hunting.

Ruan Guangjian put the mouse down and shouted: "Lao Huang, Lao Zhou, hurry up, call the others, finally come to life!" ”

Soon, the other five people in the dormitory gathered around.

"Three weeks, 50 sets of original paintings, a set of 4 photos, 3,000 yuan! How's that, awesome, right? ”

Ruan Guangjian is a very energetic young man, with short hair, fair skin, and good facial features, without any artist's style.

His roommates are different, some have long hair, some have tattoos, and anyway, they have their own characteristics.

Lao Huang, who had a pinch of mustache, was the first to come over: "3,000 yuan for 4 pieces?" Damn, yes! Just rush this price, I also admit the Q version of the painting! For the sake of life. ”

Ruan Guangjian shook his head: "What Q version, this time it's not Q version!" The customer said by name that I don't want the Q version, and other styles are casual! ”

Lao Huang was shocked: "Huh? I remember that all the representative works you uploaded were Q versions? This customer also named the Q version, so is he looking for you with a brain draw? ”

", people know people with discernment!" Ruan Guangjian rolled his eyes, "I hate drawing the Q version the most, but now that the Q version of the mobile game is popular, I can only receive the Q version of the list before, and I have no choice but to do so." Now that I don't draw the Q version, I finally have a chance to show my strength! ”

"You're going to paint your own style? It's not suitable......" Lao Huang hesitated a little, "Other customers spend money, but you take the money to paint what you want to paint, this is ......"

"The client said that he believed in my artistic level and professional ability, and let me design completely independently!"

"And you look at this demand table, it just coincides with my thoughts!"
