"Mrs. Detective Cat"
Seeing this title, the corner of Gu Weijing's mouth twitched slightly.
Of course,
his customers can’t be blamed.
fiverr does not require high personal information from registrants, and does not require detailed personal information from the store owners above.
As long as there are no complaints from buyers, you can basically fill in your country, age and gender as you like, or customize your gender to an armed helicopter and no one will care about you.
It’s not completely casual. Fiverr’s registration policy is basically divided into two categories: the United States and foreign countries.
If your registration place is in the United States, you need to submit an additional 21099 tax return form to the IRS on the website on time.
No matter where you are from, as long as you are registered in the United States, you have to pay taxes.
This is not mandatory. If you are an American, you can fill in the form abroad as long as you are confident that you can avoid the supervision of the IRS.
Outsiders browsing this store can tell from the self-introduction in Detective Cat’s store profile.
They are doing business with a 34-year-old woman who was born in Algeria and has a university degree. It is absolutely unimaginable that the owner of this online store is a Yangon native who has not yet reached adulthood.
The reason why Gu Weijing registered as a "female" painter was not because male students on campus often liked the idea of creating an account for a cute girl in a bikini when playing role-playing games.
He also has his own cleverness.
Gu Weijing saw a data analysis on the gender of painters in a school class.
Sexism still exists today in the high-end art market and art exhibitions.
Male oil painters are more popular and recognized than female oil painters. Male painters are also more likely to get higher-priced contracts.
But in online part-time job postings, the ratio is almost reversed.
At present, the ratio of male customers to female customers is almost half and half, but female painters are more likely to receive orders than male painters.
This factor may be because female illustrators have more delicate brushstrokes than male illustrators, and are more likely to draw soft and cute cartoon-style illustrations.
However, Gu Weijing personally feels that there is another big reason
Manufacturers and animation commissions may account for half of the online illustrators.
Imagine this.
You are a homebody who is keen on collecting action figures.
Every day you spend a lot of time changing the figures of your popular anime female characters, including Makise Kurisu, Siesta, Nakano Miku, and Asuna. Various armors, dresses, and corresponding anime accessories.
When you finally dress up your two-dimensional wives beautifully, you want to draw a customized illustration for them as your own.Mobile wallpaper.
You would rather wish that this illustration was drawn by an otaku who shares your interest in the second dimension, while eating cola fried chicken and holding a paintbrush on a tablet with greasy fingers.
I still hope a young lady artist will create it for you
Although the gender on the Internet is not trustworthy.
But you definitely prefer the latter, at least you can still dream about it.
Otherwise, it will really feel weird when you sleep with your phone in your arms.
This industry is the same as online game companions. No matter whether they are foot-picking men who use voice changers or not, at least the gender column must be filled with girls.
As for why you have to fill in that you are in your thirties, it is easier to understand.
This is because customers will think that experienced painters have more experience.
If you know that it was drawn by a teenager, even if they are actually satisfied with it, they will worry that you did not draw it well and will make you revise the draft endlessly.
Gu Weijing looked at the massive news on his side,
He knew that
his detective cat shop was completely famous this time.
When Gu Weijing finally looked through the thousands of unread emails in his inbox, it was already early in the morning.
There are all kinds of messages. Even if you only browse those in languages that you can understand, and only read the titles at a glance, and occasionally click on the emails you are interested in, it is still wasteful. took up a lot of his time.
In fact, most emails are not nutritious.
Basically it can be classified as "Wow, you are so awesome, Mrs.", "Ms. Detective Cat, your painting was chosen by Mr. Hyperion" or "I don't believe this is really unscripted." "This type of spam.
Gu Weijing basically deleted such emails in batches, and blocked hundreds of guys along the way who wanted to sexually harass him just like the so-called jewelry merchant before.
The rest are all order types.
"User hyerion1077 gave you a positive review"
"Number of positive reviews 1"
Shortly after browsing the message sent to me by Mr. Hyperion, Gu Weijing received a reminder that the other party had praised him.
He opened the virtual panel and took a look.
After completing this single positive review, his panel at this time became
Serial Tasks A First Look at the Career Path 23

The current task progress has 9 positive reviews, 0 medium reviews, 0 negative reviews, and 1 terminated transaction.
The current mission rewards excellent painting appraisal skills
Not counting the evaluation Mr. Hyperion just gave him, Gu Weijing only made two sales during this period.
The lack of traffic in the fiverr store is why he has never been able toThe main reason why I can't speed up my progress on this task.
Gu Weijing originally thought that at this rate, he would not be able to complete the second step of this professional task before the holidays were over and school started.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise from heaven.
He knows that from today on, as long as he does not seek death, his store will probably never lack orders.
However, since there were a large number of orders coming in, he was very careful in screening his orders.
Not all orders are accepted with value.
First of all, those with extremely low transaction prices can be eliminated.
Currently, among the hundreds of transaction applications on Fiverr, the vast majority of them have seen Mr. Hyperion’s video, and they want to take advantage of it and not take advantage of it. I hope to commission a manuscript from him for ten dollars.
These trading offers account for more than 95% of the total orders.
Except for meaningless cheap orders.
Some order prices are surprisingly high.
Mr. Hyperion asked Jane Arnold to draw a sketch for a million dollars, mainly because it was the Tarzan Beidou in the illustration world, and it was also to achieve the video effect.
In fact, the price ceiling for illustrations itself is not high.
But the figures on these manuscripts really surprised Gu Weijing.
The world is so big, there are always some people who are not short of money, or who want to take advantage of Mr. Hyperion’s popularity.
There were several orders worth tens of thousands of dollars, and one of these emails even included a Canadian studio asking Gu Weijing to draw a promotional poster for the animated film they were preparing to release on Easter. A high price of one hundred thousand dollars was paid.
This is already the price of a top-notch illustration studio.
The other party obviously wanted to spread the word before the movie was officially released.
For some large-scale animated movies, the cost of advertising before they are released on the corresponding schedule can account for 50% of the total cost of the movie, with the investment cost reaching 80, 90 or even hundreds of millions of dollars. of magnitude.
This Canadian film studio is definitely not that powerful, and can only be regarded as a third-tier low-cost animation, so it wants to spend 100,000 US dollars to ride on the popularity of Internet celebrity illustrators.
However, the other party made it clear that if you want to take this order, you must personally cooperate with all the other party's publicity arrangements.
As for the painting, it is not the point.
Even if he did not cooperate with Xuanfa's request,
Gu Weijing was not prepared to accept such an order.
He knew that he relied on Menzel's basic painting experience, coupled with Berryman's anatomical skills, and in a very specific environment, was able to paint works that were truly comparable to the master's.
The luck factor outweighs the strength factor.
In terms of real painting experience, any of the three serious illustration artists can actuallyStronger than myself.
After all, Menzel’s experience is only the understanding of Mr. Menzel, not Gu Weijing’s own.
Menzel’s skills include the word “basic”.
It's not the basics of painting skills, but when he uses the skills, his whole person seems to have entered a unique state of tranquility.
It is not difficult to learn basic drawing skills such as drawing some simple patterns that have been thought of, copying models, or anatomy of the muscle lines of characters.
However, it is difficult to integrate one's own emotions and creativity.
As the judge sister said, it lacks all emotions except seriousness.
The emotional table will always be fixed on the evaluation of simple works. No matter whether it is painted once or a hundred times, there will be no other evaluation.
If it’s not yours, it’s not yours.
Otherwise, with this hand sketch and a little bit of creativity, it would not be difficult for Gu Weijing to participate in a solo exhibition.
You can only make quick money once by relying on Internet popularity. When the traffic leaves you, you will fall as high as you are praised.
Only take up the colored pencil drawings that you are good at, and only draw subjects within your ability, either characters or simple patterns.
