Alien game producer

[Chapter 6, Perverted Boss]

Chu Yue has also played some horror games, the most famous of which is "Vampire's Castle". The representative scenes include elements such as castles, crows, and red moons.

Bloody tongue hanging on the wall, what is this idea?

Chu Yue couldn't understand it at all.However, as a college student who moves bricks to earn living expenses, the request of the sponsor’s father is everything.

Chu Yue swallowed his saliva, typed and asked, "Does the boss have any other requests?"

Xiaofan said: "There are two test drafts. The key element of the first one is the tongue. In the second one, there is a bloody rain of scissors in the sky. You can use your imagination. Show me the sketch first. I will place the deposit directly. Pay you."

Before Chu Yue had time to react, he saw a system prompt - User [Small Sailboat] has invited you to submit a trial draft. The deposit for the trial draft has been paid. Do you accept it?

Chu Yue hurriedly clicked accept.

Paid trial drafts are a common way of requesting drafts for many projects.Chu Yue didn't know how many artists the boss had found to try out the drafts, and it was not certain whether he would be chosen by the other party in the end.

Since the other party has paid the deposit in advance, let’s draw two drafts first.

Chu Yue cheered up, quickly took out his drawing board, opened the drawing software and started working.

At the same time, Xie Yunfan continued to search for character painters on the homepage.

This painter called "Crossing Mountains and Mountains" painted scenes very well but his characters were average.Game character modeling requires very high precision in facial features and clothing, so it is necessary to find a more professional original character painter.

Xie Yunfan patiently flipped through several pages of window recommendations, but couldn't find a style he liked, so he simply posted a project in the recruitment area.

【Game Original Painting Recruitment】

[Requirements]: The original painting of the game character is highly complete and requires fine clothing.Quick to produce pictures and willing to modify.Commercial manuscripts can be bought out, and the remuneration for a single manuscript starts at 4000. Excellent manuscripts can be negotiated.Ask the painter teacher to apply with character drawings and respond online in real time.

The plan was refreshed on the home page of the artist’s garden.Soon several painters submitted materials.Xie Yunfan declined several painters who did not meet his needs and patiently waited for outstanding talents.

"It's better to lack than to waste" is his principle. If you can't find something today, you can always find something that suits your eyes if you continue to look for it in the future.

Tuesday at [-] pm, X-ONE Game Company in Imperial City.

A pretty girl was packing her things with her head down. She had neat short hair and was wearing a loose brown sweater with blue jeans. Her sleeves were rolled up, making her look very smart.

The intern next to me asked softly: "Master, do you really want to resign?"

Ning Sha said calmly: "Well, there is no need to stay in this company anymore."

The intern bit his lip and complained in a low voice: "The team leader's professional level is not as good as yours at all. He wears small shoes for you every day. I think he is just jealous..."

Ning Sha patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Xiaoxue, don't say this. After the internship is over, find a job. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me at any time."

The reason why she resigned was indeed because she had a disagreement with the art team leader.

Sometimes, colleagues are full of calculations and exclusion.

She was the first to come to the company, and with her ability and qualifications, she was undoubtedly the No. 1 choice for the art director. As a result, an airborne soldier suddenly became her immediate boss.

It was said that this airborne soldier was the boss's cousin, and she admitted it.

But what she couldn't stand was that the new "art director" didn't have much ink in his mind. He was just showing off in meetings every day and asked her to keep reworking the work.

I reworked a character design drawing ten times in a row, and finally said: "Let's use the first version."

She was so sick of it.

It was polite of her not to throw the sketch in the other person's face.

Ning Sha walked out of the company holding the file box and met the team leader at the door.

The man who was less than 40 years old already had a beer belly. He said with a smile but not a smile: "Sasha, our project will be in public testing soon. You have been following the project for so long. How regretful is it to leave now? Do you want to think about it again?" "

Ning Sha said coldly: "No, I haven't been feeling well recently. I resigned and went home to rest for half a year."

She said no more, stepped on her high heels and walked out of the company door without looking back.

***
03:30 in the afternoon.

Xie Yunfan's project had several painters applying, but he looked around and found none of them satisfied.

Experienced senior original painters usually sign long-term contracts with game companies. They can't even finish the company's projects and have no time to take on such "private work" online.

Therefore, most of those who apply online are amateurs.

Wait a minute.

Just as Xie Yunfan was about to close the computer page, a system message suddenly popped up in the lower right corner - a new artist has applied for the project you posted, click to view the artist's information.

Xie Yunfan clicked in and saw that the artist's avatar was that of a short-haired girl with the ID "Shasha", and the personal window page was blank. Obviously, she did not usually make money from commissioning works on the artist platform, and probably had her own job.

There was only one sample in the document, and a message was attached: "I have five years of experience in game original painting. I have been free to accept manuscripts recently. The boss can take a look. My sample does not meet the requirements."

Five years of experience?

Xie Yunfan took a closer look and found that, as expected, this painter was very professional.

The pictures posted by previous painters were actually headshots and half-length shots, which made Xie Yunfan dumbfounded.The artist named "Shasha" sent a set of pictures - including original paintings of characters from different angles from the front, back and side, as well as clothing design models.

The sample picture she submitted was of a young girl with exquisite and beautiful facial features, even her eyelashes and hair were clearly drawn, and it also came with three sets of different styles of clothes.

Xie Yunfan perked up and immediately replied: "Hello, your information says that you have five years of experience as a game original artist. Please ask, are you currently working in a game company?"

Shasha said: "Hello, I quit my job and am at home. I have plenty of time recently."

Resign and stay at home?Although I don’t know the reason for her resignation, as long as there are no style issues such as “plagiarism”, this person can be used.

Xie Yunfan said: "Is it okay to pay for the trial draft?"

Sasha: "No problem."

Xie Yunfan: "Please first draw a picture of an old woman, bent over, leaning on a cane, slightly hunched over, holding a bowl of soup in her hand. Make the wrinkles on her face more realistic and have a weird smile."

Ning Sha was stunned.

An old woman with a weird smile hunched over and holding a bowl of soup?
This was the first time she encountered a draft that asked her to draw an old woman.However, the character settings in the game are very rich, maybe it is an NPC, right?
Ning Sha quickly agreed: "No problem, I'll show you the draft tomorrow." Xie Yunfan smoothly transferred a fee for the trial draft, then leaned against the back of the chair and stretched.

Not bad luck today.Scene painter and character painter, I found two people in one afternoon and gained a lot.

Of course, some painters have beautiful pictures, but their actual skills are worrying. I hope these two can meet his requirements.As long as the quality of the painting is acceptable, he can modify it if it doesn't fit his imagination.

***
The next day, Xie Yunfan arrived at school on time.The class schedule on Wednesday was very full. He attended classes all day and did not return to the apartment until 5:[-] in the evening.

As soon as I entered the door, a message came from my mobile phone: "Someone in the Painter's Garden has left a message for you."

Xie Yunfan immediately sat in front of the computer and opened the website. Sure enough, he saw a file uploaded by "Crossing the Mountains" in the background. It was a draft of the two scenes of Tongue Pulling Hell and Scissor Hell, with a message: "Boss, the draft is finished, please You take a look."

This artist is really talented and can produce pictures very quickly.

Although his draft is very sloppy, even a bit "stream of consciousness", and the picture is full of messy lines, the overall composition idea is very good.

The tongues on the wall are of different lengths and are lifelike, giving people a strong sense of discomfort; in the case of scissors under the sky, the scissors he drew are a bit small, and the details need to be modified.

But the idea is sound, the imagination is rich, and the absurd and weird horror style basically meets Xie Yunfan's requirements.

The rough sketch I drew is already at this level. When the formal line drawing comes out, the effect will only look better after coloring.

Xie Yunfan was very satisfied and replied: "Yes, I will send you the contract and scene information first, and we will discuss in detail what needs to be modified later."

In the student dormitory, Chu Yue, who was wearing a short golden ponytail, his eyes lit up and he clenched his fists excitedly: "That's great, the draft has passed!"

When the roommate who had just walked in heard this, he came to his computer out of curiosity and asked, "Trial draft? Ayue, have you received the order?"

The computer is on, and what comes into view is the tongue filling the screen in the enlarged draft...

The roommate was stunned: "What the hell? What did you draw?"

Chu Yue raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "The sponsor's father has very unique taste, you don't understand."

Just as he was talking, another message was received in the station.

Xiaofan: "Please take a look at the contract first. If there is no problem, sign the contract online directly. I will print it, stamp it, and then send the paper contract to you."

Chu Yue said hurriedly: "Okay boss!"

Xiaozhou: "There are 18 original scenes in total. You are an art student, right? You can find an assistant to help you. Just keep the painting style consistent. Complete it as soon as possible according to the deadline in the contract."

When Chu Yue saw this, he jumped up from his stool: "18 pictures are so many? One picture costs 4000 yuan, so the total is... 7 yuan? Damn it! I'm rich this time!"

The roommate looked at him as if he was crazy: "A 7 order, are you dreaming about it?"

Chu Yue took a deep breath: "I'm not dreaming. Look, he even sent me the contract. Hurry up, call all the brothers back, our dormitory will do something big this time! The four of us will cooperate and get it done as soon as possible. After this batch of drawings is finished, I will get 5% of the royalties, and the remaining 5% will be shared equally between the three of you, okay?"

The roommate who was just enjoying the show couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "I'll go, you are awesome, you really got such a big order! More than 7?"

Chu Yue smiled brightly: "Yes, the boss is very generous! I have money to make, and I won't forget you. Go call someone."

There are too many pictures for him to complete alone.Several roommates are majoring in art, so working together with four people can greatly improve work efficiency.

Chu Yue turned around and sat back on his chair, and saw two documents sent via private message on the site.

One is called "Confidential Project Game Original Painting Signing Contract."

The second copy is "Scene Diagram Design Materials".

Needless to say, this boss’s work efficiency is quite efficient!
Chu Yue opened the contract and looked at it carefully. The terms of the contract were very professionally written, stipulating the deadline and the method of payment of royalties in installments.What's rare is that he can still retain the artist's signature.He has participated in game projects, which will be very beneficial for him to find a job in the future.

What a piece of pie in the sky, what a piece of shit luck.

Chu Yue was gearing up, feeling that he was not far from "getting rich".

After a while, several roommates pushed the door open and entered the room. A red-haired boy said excitedly: "Ah Yue, you can do it! If you have something good to do, please remember us. Come on, let's see what scene your boss wants to draw. Let's Division of labor and cooperation.”

"Come on, let's take a look together." Chu Yue opened the document.

Four college students gathered around the computer excitedly, leaning their heads to watch together.

"Game Scene Design Requirements"

"The first scene is mainly in black and red tones, highlighting the bloody and horrific style. The walls are covered with bloody human tongues."

"The second picture is a red room, with scissors raining from the sky. The scissors should be drawn larger, the kind of giant scissors that can cut off a human head in one go."

"..." Chu Yue was stunned and whispered, "Scissors that can cut off human heads? So, my drawing is too small."

"Your boss's request is a bit weird." Several roommates complained while continuing to read with curiosity.

"The third picture is an empty scene with green tones. There is a huge rusty iron tree in the middle. The dense branches rise into the sky like sharp blades. The branches are covered with human corpses."

"The fourth picture is a dark brown room, surrounded by old bronze mirrors. In the mirror are the pale faces of dead people. Some faces are crying, some are smiling, with strange expressions."

"In the fifth picture, the white room is filled with fog. The whole scene is like a huge steaming steamer with steamed human corpses scattered everywhere."

……

After enduring the discomfort and reading the settings of the 18 pictures, the four people stared at each other in confusion.

The most timid roommate could not help but tremble and said in a trembling voice: "Ah Yue, where did you get this kind of order? Is this boss a psychopath?"

Chu Yue scratched his head with a grimace: "I think so too...but he gave too much."

There is no most perverted, only more perverted.

I thought having tongues painted all over the wall was weird enough, but I didn’t expect there would be something even more exciting today.

Cut off human heads with scissors, hang corpses on iron trees, steam human flesh in steamers...

What are these?

Boss, do you have anti-human tendencies?
Help!Why is it so difficult to be a scene painter?
The author has something to say:
See you tomorrow~
