Transformed into a comic book artist

Just as Zhou Qingya and others were helping Su Xian'er tidy up her bedroom and preparing lunch, a young man from Mihoyo was jogging towards the conference room in a hurry.

As a medium-sized company, Mihoyo was started by several otaku programmers as a small workshop before it developed.

Now, it has reached a certain scale.

After the Q-version mobile game Honkai Academy 2 made enough money, Honkai 3rd was just about to be developed.

However, Honkai 3rd was actually launched a long time ago, but due to engine problems and the most important character character problem, it has been bothering Mihoyo. However, when they solved the engine problem, the real problem facing them was the character character character.

Mihoyo is determined to make a mobile game that is different from the current market, that is, a 3D action mobile game, and it is natural that it is mainly based on the otaku system.

Honkai Academy is now a medium-sized IP, and it is well-known in the national mobile game industry, with a monthly profit of up to 50 to 60 million.

Now that the funds and engines are in place, the only thing missing is the most critical character illustrations. As long as this is solved, Honkai Impact 3rd can be developed immediately.

However, the illustrations are the most difficult problem. Now mobile games are basically all Q-version, and there are no 3D mobile games or real two-dimensional games. All this makes major game companies sigh that the current comic style is too bad.

The muscle style everywhere has assimilated all major painters. Beginners can only learn muscle style, and other styles cannot be learned at all.

Companies that make games with this style are already losing money. Unless there is a market for those martial arts style 3D games, there is no hope for the two-dimensional ones.

So Mihoyo will select character illustrations nationwide, with the Q-version characters of Honkai Impact 2 as the benchmark. As long as it is not a Q-version character, there is no other requirement.

This is to let everyone use their thinking, hoping that major painters can draw character illustrations that satisfy them.

But from August 25th to today, the staff has browsed many portraits sent by painters, but none of them can completely satisfy them.

Because the characters drawn by the painters have some muscles, which makes Mihoyo's people curse.

If the artists in their own company are like this, other painters can't get away from this style.

At this time, Chairman Liu Wei convened everyone in the meeting to discuss what to do if they can't gather a satisfactory style of painting. He hopes that everyone can give their own opinions.

"Chairman... Today is the last day to collect character illustrations. I have to admit that although Honkai Impact 3rd has been approved, it is no longer possible to make it into a 3D game. So I second Ning's suggestion to continue to focus on the Q version and make Honkai Impact 3 into a Q version game."

"I disagree! Honkai Impact 3rd was approved long before the company was established. It has only been four years now. Since we can wait for a few years, why can't we wait a few more years? There are no characters in our game with the style we want now, but maybe there will be in a few years!"

"A few years? Honkai Impact 2 is going downhill now. Don't you know how much the mobile game industry has changed? It's changed every month. To be honest, it's incredible that Honkai Impact 2 can survive for three years. If we don't develop new games, our finances can't hold on!"

Chairman Liu Wei sat at the head of the conference room and had a headache.

To be honest, he didn't expect that after half a month of national recruitment activities, he couldn't recruit a painter that satisfied him. Is there no one in China? Is there no painter who can bring forth new ideas?

Dongdongdong! ——

While everyone was discussing, the door of the conference room rang.

"Please come in."

"Chairman, check our official email!"

The assistant couldn't wait to say it as soon as he came in. His excited and anxious expression seemed to be explaining something.

Seeing this, Liu Wei was shocked and took a deep breath, "Are there satisfactory illustrations?"

"More than satisfied! Really satisfied!" The assistant said excitedly, "The artists who reviewed it said that if you are not satisfied, they will resign immediately and hand over all the previous salaries."

The artists in charge of reviewing the illustrations are the company's artists. Liu Wei suddenly became excited for some reason when he heard everyone say that.

The other people in the conference room also looked nervous. From expectation to despair in the past half month, this emotional change was really uncomfortable.

Liu Wei opened the official email and then waved for the assistant to come over.

The assistant understood and came to the computer to open an email. In an instant, when a long-haired, innocent, and cute girl appeared on the screen at the meeting, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This style is so fresh!"

"This... this is a girl from the second dimension!!"

"Why is it black and white?"

If Su Xian'er were here, she would be surprised, because the girl on the screen turned out to be the girl next door who she left a suspense at the end of the "Su Xian Series".

Liu Wei stared at the computer intently, but suddenly frowned. Looking at this black and white girl picture, he always felt that something was missing. However, the appearance of this style of painting made him very satisfied, and he did not dare to ask for too much.

"More than one, there is more." The assistant's expression was extremely excited, and then without waiting for everyone to speak, he clicked the mouse into another email portrait.

When the loaded girl was presented in front of everyone, everyone was shocked.

"This... God!"

"Kiana... This is Kiana!!"

If the first picture of the girl surprised everyone, then they were shocked after the second one was shown.

At just one glance, they shouted out, and at one glance, they knew who the girl on the screen was.

Double curly long hair, with ribbons tied at the ends of her hair, a headband on her head, a hairpin above her bangs, wearing a sailor suit, slender figure, short skirt and stockings on her lower body, the short skirt fluttered, as if the wind blew, forming an absolute domain in the painting, and a string of bullets was wrapped around her belt.

Delicate and beautiful face, with a smile, watery eyes, due to the perspective problem, let everyone in the conference room think that the girl in the painting was smiling at them.

This... is one of the protagonists of their Honkai Academy, Kiana Kaslana.

This is a secondary creation by the artist based on the Q version of Kiana in Honkai Impact 3rd. Everyone present is a company veteran. They have been accompanying the characters of Honkai Academy almost day and night. They can recognize who the girl in the painting is without being reminded.

Liu Wei looked at the computer screen, his hands trembling slightly, and then he stood up and looked at the screen because he felt that the computer screen was too small.

After a long time, Liu Wei realized why he felt that something was missing from the first painting.

The girl in the first painting was cute and innocent, but not delicate.

Yes, delicate!

This is the difference in style, the delicate style.

The girl in the style of Ru Yue Qunzhen gives people a feeling of innocence. This innocence plus the battle in the book will give people a sense of contrast.

This illustration is mainly based on the delicate style, which attracts people at first sight, immerses them in it, and sighs at the beauty of the girl.

Now the conference room is immersed in the girl's peerless beauty, and it can't speak for a long time.

"Chairman, I think our Honkai Impact 3rd can be put on the agenda."
