At noon the next day, Ma Yang sent the revised demand list to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian took a look at it and found that the demand list was really great.
It’s like it’s not written at all!
Although Pei Qian has never worked in the game industry, this demand list is a template on the resource site, and some basic rules for writing a demand list are briefly mentioned above.
To put it simply, the more details, the better.
The image proposed by the designer is often illusory and vague, while the image the painter wants to draw is often concrete and detailed.
It is easy to go awry in this process.
For example, if a designer wants a "particularly handsome male character", this is a rather vague standard that cannot be quantified at all.
What does it mean to be "extremely handsome"?
If an artist draws a character that he thinks is particularly handsome, will the designer be satisfied? Not necessarily.
After all, aesthetics is a very subjective matter.
Therefore, designers should be as detailed as possible when making requirements. 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, etc.
It would be better if there are similar reference pictures.
There is a joke in the gaming circle:
The designer tells the program: "What kind of function do I want! What is the design concept of this function, and what kind of function does it want to achieve?" The effect!"
The program said impatiently: "Just copy which function from which game and show it to me."
Let the designer talk to the artist. : "What kind of character do I want! What kind of appearance, what kind of personality should this character have, and what kind of feeling should be highlighted!"
The artist said very impatiently: "Just say Which character should I copy? Show me the picture."
This is not entirely because I want to be lazy, but mainly because too much information is lost from the text to the picture.
When making a similar demand list, the more detailed the description, the better, and the richer the reference pictures, the better. This can ensure that what the artist draws does not match the original image in the designer's mind. Too much deviation.
Look at the demand list given by Ma Yang.
It’s all about having fun!
Take Guan Yu as an example.
"He is a dragon, a humanoid dragon."
"As a martial saint of the dragon clan, he is considered to be the pinnacle of martial arts."
"Walking all his life On the tip of a knife, his understanding of fighting and killing is completely different from that of ordinary people."
No more.
Another example is Ma Chao.
"He is half man and half horse, so he is called a 'foreign race'."
"Ma Chao is different from other centaur princes, with obvious dragon blood characteristics, such as his head "Bird of Dragon Horn"
"Perhaps it was because of half of the dragon blood that Ma Chao obtained the title of "Dragon Horn".A powerful force similar to the clan. "
Another example is Zhuge Liang.
"In his youth, Zhuge Liang was known as the greatest inventor, physicist, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer during the Three Kingdoms period. "
"His research covers many cutting-edge fields such as artificial lightning, weather weapons, aircraft, autonomous vehicles, and robots. "
"At the same time, he enjoys multiple titles such as poet, philosopher, music connoisseur, and linguist. ”
Zhuge Liang’s descriptions were more than those of the previous two people. It was obvious that Ma Yang was so excited when he wrote them.
In addition, there is also a guard dragon girl. Zhou Cang, Phoenix Orphan Pang Tong, Crystal Ice Girl Xu Shu, Mechanical Puppet Huang Yueying, Blood Domain Lord Guo Jia, Dragon Hunting Loli Lu Meng, Night Ranger Tai Shi Ci, Lone Shadow Swordsman Zhou Yu and many more.
Basically, except for the name and some minor features, it is completely inconsistent with the characters of the Three Kingdoms!
These contents are basically not helpful to the artist's creation.
Moreover, it can obviously be written in more concise words.
For example, just write "Guan Yu is a humanoid dragon". The following words are completely nonsense.
But for Pei Qian, this is a perfect demand list!
He even punched himself with joy.
As expected of Ma Yang, reliable. !
It is absolutely impossible for Pei Qian to write this kind of thing!
As expected, recruiting Ma Yang as his employee is a very correct choice!
Pei Qian sent the request form directly to Ruan Guangjian without changing a word.
Five minutes later, Ruan Guangjian replied.
"You. Isn’t this demand list too omitted? ? ? ”
“It’s difficult for me to draw like this because there is no clear standard. "
Pei Qian was well prepared and immediately said: "It's okay, just open the painting and design as you like! Even if you think this demand is unreliable and you don’t follow it completely, I believe in your professional ability! ”
Ruan Guangjian: “…No, when we sign a contract, we must have a standard. Wouldn’t it be troublesome if we get into trouble? "
Pei Qian hurriedly said: "Really! I completely trust your artistic level. Don’t worry, you will be able to draw whatever you want when the time comes. You will never be allowed to revise it again and again! You can keep a screenshot of what I said as evidence. Or if you think it's necessary, we can write it into the contract. "
"That's no need...Okay, I'll watch it then. " Ruan Guangjian replied.
Pei Qian was relieved.
He was really afraid that Ruan Guangjian would insist on publishing a particularly detailed version of the original painting requirements, and then get it right. Eight Classics Earth Painting.
Now that it is easy for both parties, everyone is happy.
Pei Qian doesn’t have any money left. The next step is to buy music, sound effects, and other things. art resourcessources, rent cloud servers, etc.
These don't cost much money. Pei Qian calculated it just right and only left about 10,000 yuan for emergencies.
As for the promotion funds for the game...
Of course not a penny was left.
We have no intention of promoting it at all! It’s best if no one knows about this game!
Pei Qian felt that his future was bright and continued to spend money.
......
A university of finance and economics in Shanghai.
Bedroom of the Department of Fine Arts.
The accommodation environment here is much better than that of Handong University where Pei Qian is located.
The dormitory has air conditioning, a bed and a table. It is very new and spacious.
Thanks to the resource website established by ESRO, many art students can receive some private work online during college, which slightly improves their lives.
Moreover, the works produced during this period are also beneficial to job hunting after graduation.
Ruan Guangjian put down the mouse and shouted: "Old Huang, Old Zhou, hurry up, call the others, finally come to life!"
Soon, the dormitory The other five people inside gathered around.
"Three weeks, 50 sets of original paintings, a set of 4, 3,000 yuan! How about it, awesome?"
Ruan Guangjian is a very energetic young man with short hair. , with fair skin and regular facial features, not at all like an artist.
His roommates are quite different. Some have long hair and some have tattoos. Anyway, they all have their own characteristics.
Old Huang with a mustache was the first to come over: "3,000 yuan for 4 pictures? Damn, yes! For this price, I will accept the Q version! For Life."
Ruan Guangjian shook his head: "What Q version, this time is not Q version! The customer asked for Q version, other styles are optional!"
Old Huang was shocked: " Ah? I remember that all the representative works you uploaded were Q version? This client also specified that he doesn’t want Q version. Is he out of his mind to come to you?”
“Shit, this is a wise person. Man!" Ruan Guangjian rolled his eyes, "I hate drawing Q version. However, Q version characters are now popular in mobile games. I could only get orders for Q version before. I have no choice but to not draw Q version now. It’s a chance to show off your talents!”
“You want to paint in your own style? Isn’t it appropriate...” Lao Huang hesitated, “The client spent money, but you took the money to paint. What I want to draw, this..."
"The client said that he believed in my artistic level and professional ability and allowed me to design it completely independently!"
"And look at this! The demand list simply coincides with my idea! ”
