I have to say that this illustration competition with the theme of "Rain" was held very well. Just this grand prize competition alone can receive at least 500 original illustrations every day.

In addition to some simple works that are just joining in the fun and shoddy work, there are also nearly 300 original illustrations of good quality.

Higashinoji also enjoyed it.

Various illustrations.

Some girls stood in the rain with umbrellas and looked down at the cat, and some girls stood in front of the car, wet all over, and looked calm and indifferent...

With rain as the theme, Japanese friends and other illustrators have used their 100% strength to create.

This also made many netizens who only read and don’t draw receive these beautiful pictures.

After all, the pictures on the P site can actually be downloaded directly.

"It's really good." Higashinoshi breathed, pulling his eyes away from the vast illustrations.

Not to mention anything else, just from the illustrations he just saw, many illustrators have actually quite good basic skills.

Compared with comic authors, their inferiority is their ability to make up stories.

For the upcoming online comic reading platform Higashinoji, these people are undoubtedly talents that can be discovered - even the editor of Seo Daigo, the Iwatsuki Press, admits this.

"It's really right to take the P station."

Higashinoji thought to himself, and at the same time he reached out and gently clicked the tabletop and began to think seriously.

The current atmosphere of P station can be said to be completely heated, but how can we pour the atmosphere with hot oil and let it heat it up?

Higashinoji frowned and thought for a while, then called Seo Dago over to discuss.

"Teacher Higashino wants to send the illustrations you drew to the P site?"

Listening to Higashiji's thoughts, Seo Dago looked embarrassed and couldn't help but look at the other person.

no...

Higashinoji posted his work?

Isn’t this the deep-sea whales go to the small fish pond to catch fish?

Although there are indeed many well-drawn works among the illustrators on the P site... but compared with professional comics like Higashinoji, the painter is still more than one-third worse.

The most important thing is... Teacher Dongye, why are you busy fishing in the small fish pond?

If you participate in this illustration competition, won’t the 4 million yen bonus be firmly owned by you? What is this? Self-produced and sold?

Seo Dago was speechless and was about to explain the pros and cons of the matter.

But Higashinoji had already smiled and explained: "It's not what you think of Seo San. The illustrations I posted are not included in the ranks of the illustration competition, but are just used to stir up the atmosphere."

After Higashinoji said this, Seo Dago even understood it roughly.

Higashino Studio is not famous throughout the Japanese circle, but the name of the national comic author Higashinoji is basically known to everyone.

The matter of Higashinoji's contribution on the P site can also be regarded as a part of the hype of the atmosphere...

This is not something that is said for no reason.

Seo Daigou saw comments under many works on P site, many of which were discussions about Higashinoji's works.

I didn't know it when I was an opponent before, but now I have cooperated, Seo Daigo can understand Higashinoji's influence in the Japanese comics industry... Even their illustration website has many Higashinoji fans.

So if Higashinoji really can contribute...

"If this is the case, I am very supportive of Mr. Higashino's contribution on pixiv."

After Seo Daigo understood this, he replied simply.

He was not worried about the quality of the illustrations drawn by Higashinoji, but on the contrary, he was looking forward to what Higashinoji could draw.

After all, Higashinoji's painter is recognized as the number one in the comics industry today.

There was once an online voting, which was jointly held by Iwatsuki Publishing House and Toshima Publishing House. The title is ‘In the Japanese comic industry, who do you think is the best cartoonist with the best plot in the Japanese comic industry?’

The number of participants in this online voting was 8,000, and Higashinoji won the first place with an 85% approval rating.

Later, someone found one of the comic authors on the list for an interview and asked him if he was not satisfied with the result, but unexpectedly, the other party just smiled and said that this result was as expected by him. Teacher Higashino's painter was indeed recognized as the number one.

Yes.

Whether it was Higashinoji who knew or some comic authors Higashinoji didn't know, they all said that Higashinoji's painters were indeed ahead of them, and even Horikoshi Hanhei stuttered and couldn't say a word.

Until then, many people expressed a little surprise

It turns out that at that time, Higashinoji's painter had already been recognized by many people in the entire comics industry - there may be many people here who want to sell Higashinoji's favor... But in a sense, it is indeed recognized as the first.

Therefore, Higashinoji has added a joke to the public, "the first comic author of the new generation".

Originally, he was a single finger painter, but as soon as he buckled the hat, Higashinoji inexplicably became the number one comic author in the 21st century.

Higashinoji is also famous, so Seo Daigo is a little curious about how beautiful it would be if the other party carefully painted the illustrations.

After discussing the specific details with Hitonoji, Seo Daigo used his operation account to register his exclusive account for Hitonoji. The account name was directly called "Hitoji", and there was also the exclusive certification logo of Hitono Studio on it.

On the other hand, Higashinoji, who received support from Seo Daigo, did not hesitate and simply returned to the studio area, thinking about what to draw.

As I said before, the first step in drawing is to understand what you want to draw.

This time, Higashinoji set the theme himself to be ‘Rain’.

In other words, you can draw anything that is related to the theme of "rain".

but...

Higashinoji glanced at the current contributions on the P site.

Basically everyone is painting JK and beautiful girls... It is not appropriate for him to make special exceptions by himself.

So Higashinoji pondered and customized the main body of the illustration to match the girl and the rain.

Higashinoji continued to think.

Rain...and the girl strolling in the rain... The raindrops fall, and the mist gradually rises...

The first thing Higashinoji thought of was the sentimental atmosphere.

But if it is just a simple sentimental... it lacks some highlights.

After all, on a rainy night, girls, sentimental elements are used by too many people in this illustration award, and Higashinoji uses them again and feels like an ordinary feeling.

Then what is a brilliant factor?

Higashinoji's eyes swept four times.

It happened to be raining today. Through the windows of Higashino Studio, you can see the gray but slightly white sky outside.

Just looking at the weather gives people an indescribable sense of gloom.

The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor causes water mist to condense on the window glass, making the outside world look a bit blurry.

Higashinoji's eyes turned again, and he just saw him drinking water with a thermos cup in his mouth, while half tilting his head to look at Qianxia, ​​the mountain outside the window.

She didn't know what she was thinking, and looked out the window and was a little stunned.

On the window were clear traces of her reaching out to wipe the water mist.

It seemed as if through that small window, she could see the whole world outside clearly...

In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps it is the simple Qianxia of Shan who is staring outside the window in a daze... Including Qianxia of Shan who thinks so.

She just picked up a thermos of hot water, and then looked out the window and was a little dull because she didn't bring an umbrella today, and Dongye Studio was too far from her house.

If you run all the way to the tram stop, you will definitely be soaked into a chicken.

In addition, it is winter now, and not only will it be wet, but the cold wind will blow... the taste is simply too sour.

She couldn't help but sigh, drinking water while looking out the window, hoping that the light rain would stop as soon as possible.

Perhaps the prayer in her heart played a role, the light rain outside the window was getting smaller and smaller, which made her raise her eyebrows and she couldn't help but show her joy...

Great! Don't be wet by the rain!

Then--

"Qianxia, ​​just keep this posture and don't move!"

"Ah?" Shankan suddenly heard the voice of his boss Higashinoji on the head. The smile on his face disappeared and his eyes widened.

She really didn't expect that when she was in a daze, she was discovered by her immediate boss.

This is amazing... You must know that Ke Ke only received Higashinoji's "most diligent employee" bonus last week. If he saw that he was looking out the window in a daze during work, wouldn't he be dead?

She was about to turn her head and explain that she hadn't been stunned for too long, at most five or six minutes.

But before her head turned, she heard Higashiji's voice again: "Keep this position and don't move. There is also a smile, and the smile must be revealed."

ah?

Shankan was stunned, but he subconsciously followed Higashiji's statement and stood still, while at the same time, a smile appeared on his face.

What's going on?

what happens?
