Chapter 163: Very Comic Painting
Dear Lin, do you call this...drawing?
In the dim cave, in the shaking candlelight, looking at the so-called drawing placed in front of him, Mr. Crent and the orcs were stunned, and they could be described as messy in the wind. At this moment, in their dizzy heads, there was only the same thought left...
You should know that putting aside the orcs who have no artistic cells, Mr. Crent, who has always been eager to get into the upper circle, has always been very arty and is extremely willing to spend money on art works, although in the end they are used to raise spider webs.
In his understanding, there are only two kinds of paintings, either sketches outlined by pencils or colorful oil paintings. In fact, for thousands of years, artists in the Contans world have adhered to such painting theory and created many classic works since time immemorial.
But the question is, who can tell me what is the stack of suspected drawings in front of me?
A piece of expensive painting paper as white as snow was neatly divided into four small squares, each square is a separate picture, and the characters in the picture also have a background, but the style is extremely strange, neither pencil sketch nor oil painting, but instead it looks like... like... well, it is like graffiti, more exquisite and lifelike graffiti.
Not only that, there is often a small box extending around the heads of those characters. There are one or two lines of text written in the box. Combined with the characters' expressions and actions, these words should be what he said. But what kind of paintings are the language of the characters, which will also be added to the characters?
This is not the strangest. The strangest thing is that if you combine all these drawings, you will be surprised to find that they are closely related to each other. What should you say? It seems that they are not simple portraits of characters, but develop with plots and content, telling stories in a jumping way...
"Reply!" With the expressions of a group of people staring at each other, Lin Taiping finally put down the cup of tea and coughed slightly with a smile, "Yes, just like what you see, it's better to say that this is a comic rather than a painting?"
Man? Man? What is Man? Man?
Angelina and the orcs looked at each other, not understanding what the name meant at all. Mr. Crent was even more speechless. He stared at the drawing in his hand for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stutter and asked, "How did this thing be drawn?"
"Want to know?" Lin Taiping looked at him with a smile, and then looked at Angelina and the orcs around him who were also curious about her face. "Okay, this is actually very simple. Although I have never painted comics, I have at least seen a lot of them. So I just need to find a guy who knows how to draw, and then..."
Then, recalling the comic works he had read, Lin Taiping began to provide irresponsible guidance. To be honest, he didn't know any comic skills at all, but just guided Miranda to slowly adjust the style according to his preferences. He kept approaching the comic...
In fact, the dozens of drawings I just took out are actually not considered true comics. Both the style and brushwork seem a bit out of place, and there are even traces of oil painting skills. But who cares? Anyway, no one in this world has seen real comics, right?
"So, we just drew it." After knocking on the stack of drawings on the table, Lin Taiping happily made a summary, and then turned his head with a smile, "Of course, I am just responsible for making suggestions. Is the one who really completed these comics... Miranda?"
Why? Among the many drawings, Miranda raised her head in confusion, and bit a brush made of her own feathers in her mouth. This poor sissy bird has been burying her head in drawing the draft since the beginning and has no sense of existence.
"Miranda?" Mr. Crent then noticed and almost subconsciously turned his head to look.
Almost in an instant, Mr. Crent suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face flushed and fat trembled. Then he immediately went forward politely, gently pulled Miranda's right hand, and gave a kiss with a gentlemanly demeanor: "Ah, beautiful lady, please forgive me for your misconduct just now. Do I have the honor to know your name?"
Miranda stood in amazement in a daze, even forgot to pull his right hand back. In fact, he couldn't do it, because Mr. Crent held the soft little hand tightly, as if he had seen a rare treasure, and he refused to let go of it.
This is not the end. While his face was gentle and affectionate, Crent did not forget to turn his head and look at Lin Taiping expectantly: "Dear Lin, you really have never introduced me... Then what, I'll ask, does this beautiful lady have a boyfriend, or does she have a husband?"
Absolutely, Lin Taiping denied it seriously, and the orcs behind him shook their heads neatly.
That's great, I'm waiting for this sentence. Crent's eyes suddenly glowed green, and he immediately grabbed Miranda tightly, introducing himself seriously: "Beautiful lady, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Crent. I am the president of the Golden Business Alliance. I have three shops under my name. I am healthy, flexible in mind, noble in character, and I am still unmarried..."
"Save...Help..." Poor Miranda burst into tears, especially when she saw Mr. Crent's greedy gaze that swallowed people, she felt even creepy all over her body, and even her feathers stood upright.
But the problem is that his resistance is useless. Crent had already held "her"'s pink hand and praised him desperately: "Ah, beautiful lady, I admire your painting talent. Maybe we can take some time to take a walk together and talk about the drawing skills of comics. In fact, the moonlight tonight is very charming..."
In this way, in Miranda's tears of pear blossoms, Mr. Crent took out various skills to pick up girls and took turns to take turns. The orcs squatted speechlessly, watching the love version of the scene at first sight, and suddenly felt that their mood was very complicated... Well, it was complicated, it should be said that they were gloating!
"Ahem, this is really good?" Angelina still had a little sympathy and couldn't help looking at Lin Taiping, "Little Linzi, we really don't tell Crent the truth? If he knew Miranda was a man..."
"Don't be stupid, tell the truth now. Crent will be full of suspicion of women all over the world in the future. "Lin Taiping patted his hands irresponsibly, thought about it and coughed a few times, "Okay, Mr. Crent, you have plenty of time to spend with Miranda in the future. As for now, should we continue to talk about comics?"
Thanks to this reminder, Mr. Crent finally barely got rid of love at first sight. Looking at the drawings again, Angelina curiously turned her head to read them together. After only a few minutes of rumbling, the two of them suddenly yelled, with strange eyes wide open: "Wait, this looks familiar, it seems... it seems... "Pirates of the Caribbean"?"
As a result, Lin Taiping smiled and gave a thumbs up. These dozens of drawings are based on the popular novel "Pirates of the Caribbean". As an avid fan and loyal reader of "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is not surprising that Angelina can recognize her at a glance. But this is not the point. The real point is, from the perspective of you two, is the comic version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" very popular?
Do you still need to ask? Angelina and Mr. Crent nodded neatly. Although they have long been familiar with the plot of "Pirates of the Caribbean", they still have a completely different and fresh experience as they look at dozens of drawings adapted into comics. They can't help but want to continue watching it in one breath.
In fact, the text is not that intuitive after all, so when the original plot is displayed in the form of a picture, it undoubtedly gives readers more impact. Captain Jack, who originally only exists in his mind, all the Black Pearls that he originally needed to imagine, appear vividly in front of you, and even make people wonder: "Oh, Captain Jack will also raise an orchid finger, it turns out that the Black Pearls is more powerful than imagined..."
Not only that, the adapted style is also very fresh. Although it is still a bit unfamiliar, under this unique painting brushwork, the entire comic presents a magical color. Coupled with the occasionally exaggerated body movements of the characters and the language style that makes people smile, it makes people feel immersive when reading, as if they have really entered the magical world of seven seas...
Because of this, Mr. Crent and Angelina were all forgot about it for a moment, leaning against their heads shoulder to shoulder, and concentrating on reading together. Until dozens of drawings were turned over, the two of them stopped in unsatisfactory. Crent couldn't help but sigh, turned his head to look at Miranda with a passionate face, and only two words were written in his glittering eyes - "Urgent update!"
Think about it, it is interesting to make a businessman full of gold coins calm down and watch it. So you can imagine what reactions will most people in the chaotic seas, especially those idle nobles, and those fanatical readers of the novel "Pirates of the Caribbean"?
"So, that is, there will be a market for these comics?" Lin Taiping sipped the tea and happily knocked on the drawings. "In fact, I have been thinking that there are tens of millions of people in the entire chaotic sea. It is not too much to exclude those who are not interested in this, we can sell tens of thousands of sets, right?"
Too much? Too much is hell! Mr. Crent, who was flushed on his face, suddenly jumped up and thought about it with his heels. After the initial adaptation period, this comic will soon be popular in the entire chaotic sea with its special style and fresh experience. Especially those readers who are fanatical about the novel "Pirates of the Caribbean", will never be stingy to spend money to buy it.
More importantly, this is just "Pirates of the Caribbean", followed by "My Fair Princess", "The Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Dragon Guns", etc. If all these novels are adapted into comics, even if they are just in the chaotic seas, even if they are just selling a gold coin, even if they are...
Needless to say, thinking about the wonderful scene of using gold coins as mattresses in the future, Mr. Crent gasped heavily and grabbed Lin Taiping's arm directly. At this moment, there was only one question left in his mind - what, should I send my sister to Lin's bed, or should I knock Angelina out and wash it clean and send it to Lin's bed.
"Wait! Wait!" However, at this moment, Angelina, who had been regarded as a gift, suddenly frowned slightly and raised her fish tail with distress-
Chapter completed!
