Introduction: The Hundred Painting Skin Design Contest is one of the out-of-game content that Itch Rats pay the most attention to every year. After all, it is mainly based on the skin as a key visual element, and most of the players who enter the pit yin and yang division are attracted by its cool art style.
The works shortlisted for the skin design competition have entered a new round of screening, and these works have been specially invited by the official "two gods" to comment and give reasonable suggestions. Next, Xiao Ran, I will take a look at how amano Yoshitaka and Ruan Junting, two industry leaders, view these works!
"Kitaka Amano: Valuing Visual Impact and Personal Preferences"
First of all, let's take a look at the great god Amano Yoshitaka. As a famous artist, most of his works are based on physical paintings, and the most familiar to our netizens should be that Amano Kiyotaka once led the character design of the well-known IP "Final Fantasy" series. Because the style is too obvious, the circle also calls the painting style that does not eat human fireworks and is dreamlike as "Amano Stream". Judging from the evaluation video officially released by the Yin-Yang Division, Amano Kitaka chose to evaluate the shortlisted works mainly based on artistic value.
Compared with the ordinary style that is easy for us to accept by netizens who eat melons, Amano Kiyotaka prefers works that can bring people enough visual impact. For example, the "YunShu Xia Roll" of SP Bird Sister in the picture above, the very obvious Kabuki element, seems to give people a feeling of stage drama costumes, and the skin author did write in the description, this time the total reference to the actor Sakato Yusaburo. In addition, the slightly enchanting color scheme with the backstory of SP Bird Sister also has a feeling of elegance and maternal brilliance?
Another work he mentioned was the "World Performance Sayings" of the coffee table. First of all, as Mr. Kitaka Amano said, the color of this skin is bold and elegant, and the seemingly discordant color types are integrated together in an extremely ingenious way, and the whole gives people a dazzling feeling.
Among the several works commented by Amano Yoshitaka, the tea table and SP Bird Sister and the Emperor Shi Tian Black Lotus Skin occupy the longest time, and the skin works in addition to this have a feeling of passing by. From this point, it is not difficult to find that this teacher prefers those brightly colored works when commenting on skin and illustrations, and has a strong personal preference factor.
"Ruan Yunting: Focusing on the Basic Skills and Composition of Painters"
Unlike Amano Kiko, Nguyen Trịn Đại pays more attention to the design structure of a skin and the basic skills of the artist. Take the above Xiaoran I briefly mentioned the Emperor Shi Tian Black Lotus Skin, both teachers have given a long evaluation, for Teacher Ruan Yunting, the illustration design of the Emperor Shi Tian Black Lotus Skin is very complicated, but the author has simplified it through good basic skills. Compared with highlighting the god of Emperor Shitian itself, the illustration combines the characters and backgrounds very well, so that the whole presents a feeling of atmosphere.
Although the surrounding elements are very complex, Nguyen Believe ting believes that the author makes this illustration present a sense of illusion and reality through light and shadow effects and layered design, all thanks to the "different layers and colorful purples". In addition to the black lotus skin, Teacher Ruan Junting also talked about nearly 10 works, almost all of which commented on the composition and basic skills of the author, and also attached great importance to the atmosphere created by the works, including Xiao Ran's personal favorite Xiaoyuan [Delicacies After the Rain].
"In the end, it is still the main beauty"
Judging from the comments of the two teachers, they chose the skin without considering the human design, game background, modeling problems and the fit between the style god, and completely jumped out of the Yin and Yang Division to explain to our netizens with their own professional vision in "Mandarin". This is a good thing in a sense, after all, different perspectives can see some special details. However, the evaluation and suggestions given by the two teachers are not known how the art team should adopt them in the end.
If you investigate the preferences of the itchy rats in advance, combine the public aesthetic to optimize the design and composition of the skin, and finally transform it into a work that is suitable for modeling and can be implemented into the game, it is the best! According to Xiao Ran, I understand that the previous main Mei Shuangzi sister has now been transferred to other project teams, about this everyone should not worry? After all, several skins appeared on the anniversary, except for the controversy of the ghost cut collection skin, the other skins seemed to have no problems.
Finally, I don't know if you have watched the video of the two teachers evaluating the shortlisted works? What are your personal thoughts on these suggestions and reviews? Welcome to a harmonious discussion below! (As everyone thinks, the "Song of Four Hours" illustration group, which can be called a collection of works, won the highest score))
