Cartoonist's Dream

If you want to upgrade, you need to accept tasks, and you can do it when you think about it. Li Mu returned to the homepage of the system, clicked on the newly appeared "daily tasks" and "special tasks", and saw the detailed introduction of the tasks:

[Daily tasks, please purchase a full set of oil painting tools within today.Reward for completing the task: one gold coin for skill activation; penalty for failure of the task: loss of one gold coin for skill activation.Do you want to take it now? 】

[Special task, please get the top three in the national-level painting competition, and the time limit is 6 months.Reward for completing the task: one gold coin for skill activation, one free attribute point, one gold coin for skill upgrade, the reward depends on the degree of completion.Mission failure penalty: Curse of Mystery.Do you want to accept it now? 】

--Grass!Pit father ah!

Li Mu couldn't help cursing secretly. [

What is a "full set of oil painting tools"?The definition of this concept is not very clear. Does it count if you only buy brushes, drawing paper, palettes, and paints?No matter how much it is, pear wood can’t afford it now, such as: heaters, easels, painting stools, painting stools, nail guns, drawing boards, etc.

If you buy according to the lowest standard, you are afraid that you will not be able to meet the "full set" of conditions and the mission will fail; if you buy according to the highest standard, Limu thinks he can't afford it even if he smashed his piggy bank at home.

Don't dare to accept daily tasks!

——The Curse of Mystery?

Seeing that these four words in the special task have hyperlink comments, Li Mu decided to click them out to check them first.

[Curse of Mystery: Small Punishment, Big Commandment!If you fail the mission, you will be cursed by the system, and the probability of getting lost will rise to 90% for a period of 6 months. (Tips: Please go out accompanied by adults)]

——I am stupid, you let me get lost 10 times out of 9 times! ?

The dreadful curse of mystery!

Special missions, still not accepted!

At least Li Mu is afraid to accept it for the time being. Although he has studied manga and sketch, but when it comes to artists or painters, he thinks he can only be regarded as an entry level.Still want to get No.1 in the national competition?Let's dream now, and go home and practice hard for a few years.

However, Li Mu also saw the importance of "upgrading gold coins" from the task.The rewards for daily tasks are activated gold coins, and special tasks are also rewarded with activated gold coins. It seems that skill activated gold coins should not be difficult to obtain.On the contrary, skill upgrade gold coins are very expensive, and it is estimated that you have to do special tasks perfectly to get them.

Now Li Mu regretted putting the upgraded gold coins into the fine workmanship.In the past, no matter if you were playing ot or any game, didn't you usually upgrade your active skills first.Although it will consume mana or stamina, active skills are very important in the early stage!

"It's too late to regret, it's too late~"

Li Mu returned to the classroom worried about gains and losses.

Teacher Mo is telling the story of the mantis couple, which is very exciting, but Limu has no desire to attend the class.For the occasional childish questions such as "Students, do you understand?", "Students, does anyone know?", Li Mu felt goosebumps all over his body, especially Lu Wei who was sitting next to him. With a long voice, he said, "Old~~~Master~~~! I~~~Know~~~Dao~~~"

--I have the heart to want to die!

Because Lu Wei threw away his picture book, Li Mu could only take out the exercise book to write ideas.

Now that I have decided to buy comic tools after class, and contribute as soon as possible to supplement my family, I should make a good plan for what I will draw in the future.

——Original words...[

As a young man with ideals and wisdom (Li Mu himself admits), he should only submit original works to suit his appetite.However, past experience tells him that his original works are difficult to be adopted, and it is best not to waste resources drawing original manga when he is not financially rich.After rebirth, in order to pursue ideals instead of money, it was already a slant for him, and if he continued to be paranoid, he would become a real "wooden" head as the name suggests.

So Li Mu gave up originality first.

Pseudo-original is a good choice, it is not necessary to copy Japanese things.

Li Mu remembered the online novels that emerged in later generations.Those popular online novels are very suitable for comics.Some of them have ups and downs and profound content; some are funny and easy to understand;If you use these novel themes to draw comics, it is hard to say that someone will not fall into it, and you don't have to worry about copyright issues caused by "bumping shirts".

Li Mu was a little hesitant about pseudo originality.

Since it's all fake, why not just copy it?

Plagiarism is the safest way.Many well-known comics that were popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, and Japan have not yet been published, and it is impossible to publish before them.For example, "Naruto" published next year, "Killing City" published in 2000, such as "Fullmetal Alchemist" published in 2001, "Death" and "Hayate the Butler" published in 2004, and "Whirlwind Butler" published in 2005. fte\sty

nght", "Fairy Tail" published in 2006..."**", "Killing City", "Lelouch of the Rebellion", "Attack on Titan".

No need to write an outline, no need to conceive, set up a studio, ask two or three assistants to start drawing directly, but you can't do it!

For the time being, um, for the time being, plagiarism is fine...

Li Mu weakly decided.

However, plagiarism should also pay attention.

Takeuchi Takahara's "fte\stynght" is a series belonging to Touhou, which was released in January 04.Moreover, Takashi Takeuchi already had the idea of ​​asking a magician to summon the "seven angels" when he was in middle school. nght just turned this idea into a hero, and zero is Urogenbuchi's novel to complement fte. , which means that someone has already prepared a similar draft at this moment.

So the publication of comics does not mean that the cartoonist has no idea in advance.

They may have conceived it for years, but never put pen to paper.This is not bad and does not constitute copyright infringement. The original author could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, sighing secretly that he had a good idea, but he was a step behind others.If the cartoonist already has a manuscript, but has not submitted it or published it, if there is a shirt collision incident, it is a real infringement.

The path of an original cartoonist is difficult. If his family is demolished by the government and loses his source of income, it will be difficult for Limu to be sure that he can continue on the path of a cartoonist. Maybe he will eventually give up comics and become a profiteer.

I can't draw original comics according to my own ideas for the time being!

Think about this.

He resolutely decided to take the road of comic plagiarism first.

He chose to give up the comics whose publication date was too close to 1998, and temporarily set his "first work" as "Fullmetal Alchemist" which was published three years later!

"Jingle bells"

The loud ringing of the bell announced the end of the afternoon class, pulling Li Mu's thoughts back to the classroom. [

Teacher Mo is liked by the students, he never procrastinates in class, never punishes the students, and he doesn't even mention Li Mu's sluggishness in a class.

The squad leader also understood when he heard the bell; the leader stood up and shouted loudly:

"stand up!"

"Goodbye, classmates~"

"goodbye teacher!"

An almost ritual farewell.

Riki thought, but this kind of ritual is the same in Japan.

He raised his head and watched Teacher Mo walk out of the classroom.He secretly thought that the teacher he liked before actually didn't have much sense of responsibility.The class is just a routine class, and it is to earn a monthly salary. Teacher Mo leads a formulaic life, with the purpose of making money and surviving.

At least... It can't be seen that this person's ideal is to be a good teacher.so

This man has lost his ideal.

...so, lost soul.

A teacher without a soul.

Li Mu didn't warn him, after all, his career as a cartoonist was once oppressed by reality, and he had to walk the road of losing his soul, surviving like a walking dead.But now he quickly packs his schoolbag, ready to buy some tools for his dream, the gate of his dream is waiting for him to break through.
