At present, everyone's evaluation of these characters is: very cute, with obvious characteristics, but I don't know what kind of cow ghosts and snake gods are here......

This was expected by Chen Mo, looking at the characters out of the plot, and he could see that there were ghosts when things came out.

Chen Mo asked: "Goldfish, if you are asked to complete the original paintings of these characters, including refinement and coloring, how long will it take?" It doesn't need to be too fine, just size it according to my line art. ”

Su Jinyu thought for a moment: "Hmm...... These cards aren't too complicated, and it should be about the same in four or five days. ”

Chen Mo shook his head: "Three days." ”

"Huh?" Su Jinyu hesitated, "It's not impossible to do three days, but the quality must be worse." ”

Chen Mo said: "It doesn't matter, such a big card is still on the phone, and it doesn't matter if the fineness is almost there." It's okay if the quality is a little lower, and you can slowly optimize it in the future, and now it's just to spread the amount first. ”

Su Jinyu nodded a little embarrassed: "Okay, then I'll try my best." ”

Wen Lingwei said: "If it's refinement and coloring, I can too." ”

Chen Mo was stunned: "Are you sure?" These are official game resources, at least so that players can't find fault with them. ”

Jia Peng reminded: "Store manager, senior sister is also a serious art student, and she usually takes on the original painting." ”

Chen Mo suddenly said, yes, Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng are from the school's Propaganda Department, and the Propaganda Department usually needs to draw posters, make display boards, etc., can they become ministers and deputy ministers without hand-drawing and image processing skills?

"Okay, it's good for you to help draw together, it can save a lot of time." Chen Mo said.

Wen Lingwei showed a meaningful smile: "Then how much money are you going to give me, store manager?" My original painting costs 5,000 oh, or a friendly price. ”

Chen Mo: "...... I can't see that you're still touching, huh? ”

Like the original card painting, the asking price of artists of different levels is also very different, there are eight or nine hundred, there are eight or nine thousand, and even more expensive.

Of course, these things are worth what you pay for, and there must be a difference between what a good painter and an ordinary painter paints in terms of composition, light and shadow, color, and so on.

Like Wen Lingwei, a card costs 5,000, or a friendship price, which is already a level that only a well-known painter can have.

Chen Mo said: "But don't you still have to design, compose, and communicate with the demand side for your 5,000 yuan friendship price?" I already have this line drawing, and the size is several times smaller than the original painting you usually draw, so you just need to refine and color it, and give you 2,000, okay? ”

Wen Lingwei: "Stingy. ”

Chen Mo: "......"

Wen Lingwei said: "Okay, for your pitiful sake, two thousand a piece, one for three days." However, there are only two people in me and Goldfish, so don't be too slow. ”

Chen Mo looked at Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya: "If you want to paint, you can also ......."

Jia Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "We don't have the same level as Senior Sister, at most, we will help you draw some ordinary monster cards, and don't hand over the protagonist cards to us." ”

Chen Mo nodded: "That's okay, you have to draw a monster card later, you can share some of it, and I will give you the money according to the market price." ”

Jia Peng waved his hand: "It's okay, the money is not important, the store manager, you just look at it." ”

Wen Lingwei raised her eyebrows: "How can it be done!" The store manager is rich now, and "Plants vs. Zombies" earns him two million a month, right? It's not a few thousand dollars. ”

Jia Peng nodded: "That's right." Okay, let's go at the market price. ”

Chen Mo: "......"

Wen Lingwei said: "Also, how do you calculate money with goldfish?" Don't say that because she's your assistant, you won't give money. ”

Chen Mo said: "Just like you, two thousand cards per card!" ”

Wen Lingwei nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's pretty much it." ”

Su Jinyu originally wanted to say that she didn't want money, but after thinking about it again, why can't she get along with money, so she accepted it beautifully.

Chen Mo was speechless, these people are really scheming in order to make money from the store manager!

Chen Mo roughly divided these cards into points.

Su Jinyu and Wen Lingwei's painting level is very high, and they are fully competent for the drawing of the protagonist card. And it was also more convenient for Chen Mo to communicate with the two of them, so Chen Mo planned to give the two of them a few of the most important protagonist cards.

There were a few other classmates who could draw monster cards, and Chen Mo also reserved some shares for them.

According to the speed of one card in 3 days, Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu need 54 days to draw all 36 protagonist cards, which is obviously too slow, not to mention that this is only a part of the cards, and the total number of cards is more than 300!

This is different from doing "Plants vs. Zombies" at that time, many zombies in Plants vs. Zombies can be reused, and plants are very simple to draw. But in card games, cards are almost equal to the body of the game, and players will not pay for ugly paintings, so Chen Mo doesn't dare to make do with this.

Therefore, if you want to compress this time, you can only find art outsourcing.

Chen Mo said to Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu: "Do you know any art outsourcing companies?" The kind that's a little more reliable. ”

Wen Lingwei thought for a while: "I know a family, and I have a few friends who are painters in it, and the level is okay." ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, you give me the contact information." By the way, do you know anime production companies? ”

Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu both shook their heads: "I know a few, but I don't know anyone." ”

Chen Mo said: "Okay, then that's it, you guys first get the few protagonist cards I picked out just now." ”

Chen Mo turned around and went upstairs.

Su Jinyu said: "Wait, store manager, what kind of game are we going to do next?" Need so many original card art? ”

Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, you'll know in a few days." ”

……

Back on the second floor, Chen Mo was already a little sleepy, and it seemed that it was a side effect of the super accelerator.

According to the contact information given by Wen Lingwei, Chen Mo found the person in charge of the art outsourcing company, and then talked about the needs.

Chen Mo provides line drawings, so that the cost of modeling design and drawing line drawings can be saved, and the time can be shortened accordingly.

In the end, the price negotiated by Chen Mo was 2200 cards for the protagonist and 600 for monster cards.

Monster cards can be drawn more casually, so the price has dropped significantly.

According to this estimate, Chen Mo spent roughly 36×3×2200 + 200×600 = 357600, 350,000 yuan for the full set of cards.

Of course, there are some monsters that can be changed and reused at will, but no matter how much you press, it can't be pressed to less than 300,000.

There is a lot of money, but Chen Mo doesn't feel pain, this money is really pressed to the point that it can't be pressed anymore, and he can use 350,000 to buy this complete set of card resources, Chen Mo is already quite satisfied.

Among them, Chen Mo handed over the 7 key cards of Mourning Wood Tears, Silly Steamed Buns, Stupid Thieves, Bad People, Eldest Lady, President, and Big Sister to Wen Lingwei and Su Jinyu to complete, and at the rate of one in 3 days, it will take a month to complete them all.

Su Jinyu also has to be responsible for game design, so Chen Mo can't let her draw cards all the time.

In addition, Chen Mo also gave Jia Peng a part of the monster cards, all of which were calculated according to the market price.

The rest of the cards will be handed over to the outsourcing company, and within two months anyway, all the cards will definitely be made without landing.
