1983 Past Life Manga King

Thanks to the computer manga work tools developed in Japan, background lines can be created in an instant, and even screen tones like that are common.

“Brother, are you doing well?”

Lee Dae-bong, who came late in the afternoon, approached Kim Dal-bu and asked.

“Oh, what. Well, they say they work hard…”

Saying that, she glanced into Silver’s eyes. They seem to be paying attention the most because of the silver atmosphere.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that person. Because it’s just a character pen line fluttering. The only people he cares about are our pretty Seonhee over there and Yoonhwan sitting over there like an idiot.”

You fool… that person is real!

“A person’s pen line fluttering? What does he say in front of a person?”

When Silver gets angry and shoots Lee Dae-bong, Kim Dal-bu starts to wince and startled.

However, Lee Dae-bong kept talking whether Silver stared at him or not.

“You can do it as usual. As usual. got it?”

“Oh, what. okay.”

“Ah, our Seon-hee.”

Saying that, he approached Seon-hee.

“If there is a background or scene that you want to give strength to once in a while, you can tell Dalbu-hyung.”

“Then what about this?”

Seon-hee gently lifted the manuscript and showed it to Lee Dae-bong. Then, Dae-bong Lee received it and looked at it and was surprised, and then he laughed.

“Well then, then. It has to be at this level, so that my Dalbu-hyung will be able to work.”

Saying so, he shows the manuscript to Dal-Bu Kim.

I took a peek to see what kind of scene it was, and it was a scene that used the entire page. A rough concentration line is used with the main character in the center, and a complex building is visible between the concentration lines.

At first glance, it may seem like you’re out of your mind because it’s so noisy.

“What do you think? This is nothing, is it?”

“… it’s nothing. It’s a great picture.”

“It’s tough.”

After saying that, he turned to Seon-hee again and asked.

“Seonhee, can this fail?”

Seonhee nodded her head without thinking much at those words.

“Huh.”

Haha, it wouldn’t be a big deal to draw even a picture like that with a pencil. Of course, I don’t like to draw the same picture, so I’ll probably draw something different.

But what about the sudden failure?

Are you going to use it as a practice area?

It sounds crazy at first glance to say that a manuscript that will be actually serialized is used as a practice book, but seeing Lee Dae-bong say that, I wonder why.

Seon-hee has that look too.

Silver, who is a nagging person, seems to have the same thoughts as he doesn’t say much.

“Did you hear me? Try working with the feeling of an older brother.”

At Lee Dae-bong’s words, Kim Dal-bu was perplexed.

“Hey, though…”

“Now, let me show you my brother’s skills. The one that had been sealed in another firebox.”

“······However.”

“You have been neglected by people with no skills just because you are old. This is a different place from the studio he’s been in before. A place where I used my brother’s speed to just pull out a lot of books.”

“·················ogue.”

“hurry.”

“By the way… well…”

“Huh? Why?”

“Stop emphasizing how old you are. I’m only two years younger than you.”

“That’s a lot. There, I am still in my 20s.”

“Ugh, until the confirmation kill…”

Silver, who looked at it, gave an expression of disbelief.

“After all, people close to you are your biggest enemy.”

“It’s not the enemy.”

“I’m playing.”

“Hey!”

“Oh really! You two, stop it!”

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

It was only after Daebong Lee and Silver closed their mouths that Dalbu Kim started working right away.

At first, looking at a single manuscript, I thought I would hesitate a bit, but then I started working on it.

swish.

A pen with ink moves quickly over the manuscript with a ruler.

But he thought he would use a straight ruler, but he begins to draw background lines using a curved ruler.

And at a tremendous speed.

As a veteran, he gives the strength and weakness of the lines, further emphasizing the feeling of the painting.

After stopping the curve work that I was working on so quickly, I am drawing the background again this time. Although the background picture is detailed and complicated, it is quickly worked on with various rulers.

However, the more the painting is completed, the more cluttered and complicated it becomes, and I feel rather restless.

He also thinks that it would have been better if he hadn’t painted the background.

So you said it was for practice?

At that point in time, I opened the poster color white paint bucket and lightly dab a brush there.

“···········?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

brush?

Oh, I’m also trying to erase the background between the pen lines.

But doing that takes a lot of work time.

Then, hold the curved ruler with your left hand.

And straight away, holding the bottom of the curved ruler thickly with your hand, put a brush on it and start drawing.

“···································································!

It begins to erase the pictures buried in the background at a tremendous speed.

Erasing pictures between lines is a technique I’ve seen before, but this is the first time I’ve done this skillfully with a brush.

Although Ki-cheol Kim is proficient in using a brush, it seems that the technique of using a brush and a ruler together cannot match Dal-Bu Kim.

It is the first time since Seon-hee that it is completed so quickly, although it is somewhat less complicated than the usual one-page background.

Of course, the ability to use a ruler is more than that.

In any case, my expectation that it was going to be used like a practice field turned out to be wonderfully wrong.

Well, this is more than what I saw in the sketch.

I heard that he had only 15 years of experience as a student, but that’s not a bad thing.

No, if you say you are 31 years old and 15 years older than that, did you start at the age of 16?

But I’m not the only one who was surprised to see this.

The entire family in the studio was astonished at this scene.

Even Silver, who is not often surprised, comes near and stares at the painting.

This place is full of great humans that only real monsters have gathered, but the appearance of another capable person was that much of a shock.

“Wow, that’s great. How are you so fast?”

“Look at my arm. I just got goosebumps…”

“Me too.”

“Do you like it.”

Even Seon-hee intervenes in their conversation.

It seems I liked it quite a bit.

In any case, when people reacted so loudly, Daebong Lee raised his shoulders, seemingly satisfied with his appearance.

“What do you think? Our moon-brother.”

Seeing this, Silver made an absurd expression.

“Why are you shy?”

“It’s my brother.”

“Are you Mr. Kim?”

When Silver asked sarcastically, Daebong Lee shouted.

“Hey, stop looking!”

*

Fish is also new, so Paciencida also started working in earnest. I’ve been thinking of a new project lately, but I’m still working on three, so I’ve decided to put that aside for now.

Park Sang-sik is also busy working on a new storyline recently.

While helping with the work in our studio, I was also working on my own works in my spare time, but most of the storylines I’ve worked on so far have been for scripts. Of course, those works were passed on to cartoonists I know, and most of them received good responses.

In the meantime, Park Sang-sik’s sense of story has also developed to a considerable level, even from my point of view.

Then, for a while, I started working on a continuity saying that there is a story I really want to tell, but the story is about a man who likes to bet billiards.

I didn’t know about it, but it seems that billiards, especially 4 balls, are popular among young people now.

I’ve never played billiards, but I’m familiar with the rules as I’ve often heard them from Silver or Park Sang-sik.

Anyway, this game, which doesn’t seem very interesting to me, is extremely addictive. Sometimes, when Park Sang-sik talks about billiards, it’s not a joke.

When they liked it for a long time, it was said that when you lay down to sleep, the ceiling looks like a billiard table. Well, it was the same when I was playing my favorite game.

Anyway, the title of the billiards cartoon is ‘Four Balls of Hell’.

As the title suggests, it is a story of a four-ball billiards game where you risk your life. It is not a story of despair as much as Kaiji, but it is quite tense and fun.

It feels like Park Sang-sik, who has been specialized in light and cheerful water, has developed an unexpected ability.

“What do you think?”

“uh. It’s fun. I don’t know much about billiards either, but watching this makes me want to learn it.”

Park Sang-sik, who was very nervous at my words, suddenly brightened up.

“Oh, success. success. To be honest, I worried a lot while writing this, but when you say that, I feel more at ease.”

“By the way, is this for a script?”

“No, it’s not like that. Akagi-san told me to try again in Japan before.”

I remember too.

“Is this a project that will challenge Japan?”

Park Sang-sik nodded his head at my question.

“uh.”

4 Hells (2)

“Um, 4 phrases, this doesn’t seem to be very popular in Japan… is it okay?”

Park Sang-sik was surprised by my words.

“uh? Is this not good in Japan?”

“I don’t know well, but I don’t know if it’s a Pokeball, the 4th ball…”

Park Sang-sik looks very disappointed at my words.

“I thought it would be popular because most of the terms were in Japanese when playing the 4th ball.”

“Because billiards itself is not very popular in Japan.”

But it was then.

“The reason why there are a lot of Japanese in billiard terms is because it was introduced during the Japanese colonial period (Japanese colonial period).”

Suddenly Silver interrupted and we both turned to look at him.

“Is it such an old game?”

In response to my question, Silver did not turn his head to this side, but still bowed his head and said, concentrating on his work.

“okay. It must have been around 70 or 80 years since I came to Korea.”

“Oh, this is a game with a surprisingly deep history.”

“Billiard itself is much older. It is said that in the old days, many elephants were sacrificed because billiard balls were made from elephant ivory. That fact is irrelevant, but if you draw manga as a sport called billiards, it will be difficult to succeed in Japan.”

Park Sang-sik scratched his head after hearing the cold-hearted words.

Still, it must have been something I thought about.

“Isn’t it possible to play billiards?”

“Perhaps.”

Silver still calmly answers.

“To say that billiards won’t work is too speculative.”

This time, when I objected, Silver’s expression was surprising.

“You said earlier that the 4th ball would be difficult, so why did you suddenly change your words?”

“I said it would be difficult. It’s not that there weren’t any such works.”

“What? Do you have a cartoon like that?”

“uh.”

“What?”

“In the 70s, there was a five-volume work called ‘Cheater The Kid’. As far as I know, this work will be the subject of 4 verses. Of course, it was quite popular.”

Silver smirked at those words.

“After all, I can’t beat you with the information on the manga side.”

But, hearing this, Park Sang-sik’s eyes twinkle and show curiosity.

“Is there really such a cartoon?”

“uh. There is. But it wasn’t enough to cause a boom.”

“Better than me being the first.”

“That’s right.”

“Okay then.”

Park Sang-sik’s expression becomes much brighter.

Seeing him like that, Silver smiled softly, and concentrated on the work again.

There is one more work that came to mind while talking about billiards cartoons.

Well. Because the year is 1986…

It is a work that will start serialization next year.

It’s a ‘break shot’ by Takeshi Maekawa, who is famous for ‘Kung Fu Boy’.

Break Shot is a cartoon that focuses on the main content of the Nine Ball among Pokéballs, and it is a cartoon that has become quite popular due to its unique sense of action.

This cartoon was also pirated in Korea, and it was very popular, but I remember reading an article that said, for a while, the phrase ‘Massay less than 300’ was famous in domestic billiards halls for a while because of the main character’s unique ‘shooting’ technique.

However, the trap is that it is an unrealistic cartoon full of nonsensical action.
