Although many American comics we have seen have different styles, there are many rules to follow.
Marcel the Giant of the Jaws
For example, the human body lines of American comic animation are drawn relatively simply, and the facial features are more abstract and exaggerated.
Just like the once popular Disney anime movies, although the faces of those people are well-defined, they know that they have a heavy taste of artistic processing at a glance.
Although the manga also has abstract and exaggerated parts, it has much fewer elements than animation, and the hormonal content of the characters drawn is generally higher.
Is the difference in the style of manga and anime a choice made by Mei manga in order to target all ages?
1. The muscle drawing style of American comics is not suitable for audiences of all ages
In the domestic animation market, American comics are far less wide-ranging than animation audiences.
Even the ancient American manga animation can see at a glance that "these characters are not real people".
These exaggerated visual elements make it easier to distinguish between the second and third dimensions, and they are relatively healthy in terms of local materials and picture performance.
Of course, this is also because animation is usually broadcast as a TV series and movie, which is an area that is easily accessible to children and young people.
American comics are used as the main force of creation in many cases, such as Marvel and DC, various derivative animations, derivative live-action versions of film and television are all derived from plot synopsis.
But as a mother, it is not as harmless (relatively) as these derivative works, and the various elements piled up are more and more sharp.
I don't know if you have found that the muscle painting style of the ancient American manga is not so exaggerated, but the closer to the present, the more detailed the outline of the character's body is depicted.
Of course, this is also related to the aesthetic changes of young people in various eras.
This hormonal style of painting can attract readers who are good at this mouth, and help to circle the group with stable hobbies and willing to pay.
You know, most of the comics in The Comics are periodicals, and it is important to circle the readers who are willing to pay for it.
Who will be the main force behind the bill?
Of course, it is young people who have stepped into society and are still in the climbing stage.
The sensitivity of young men and women of this age to the body of the opposite sex determines the style of this comic.
2. The more gentle and lively painting style is more suitable for all-age audiences
Compared with the manga version that is more like a real person and highlights the body line, the animation style of the American manga is relatively mild, although it is also a bit exaggerated, but it is biased towards liveliness.
This is also taking into account the children's group, muscle painting style is not something that can be eaten by any age group.
Considering the visual impact and the hormonal offensive hidden under the muscle painting style, the animation is presented in a relatively soft way.
If you use the general style of manga, then this animation is not far from being restricted from the age of the audience.
In fact, we have also had a similar situation in China, for example, almost 10 years ago, the popular Hong Kong comic "Divine Soldier Young General", do you still have any impression?
The animated version it made looks quite harmless, similar to "Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit", and the plot is still relatively naïve and young.
However, its original manga is not naïve at all, and the group it is aimed at is not as all-age as in the anime, and a considerable part of the content is not suitable for children.
"Hormones" are things that are inherently pure and don't go anywhere.
Many of the animations of The American Comics are intended to cultivate the audience from an early age.
Plant seeds for them from an early age, let them remember these concepts, even if they are not exposed to the corresponding works for a long time, as long as the time is long enough, the seed has a chance to break through the ground.
Not every seed can grow into a towering tree, but animating is spread out as an infinite number of seeds to audiences of all ages, and over time, some of them will turn to spin-off works or even comics as parents.
Cast a wide net, collect more fish, and choose the best and follow it.
