Anyway, he enlisted the help of Jiro to investigate the weapons used during the Civil War. Thanks to that, Jiro also asked:

– Are you preparing for your next project?

“Oh, what. I’m thinking about it for now.”

– Is it from the 1800s?

“It is not. I’m going to use it as a reference for designing weapons.”

– Can I see you?

“I’ll let you know when I’m ready. If you have time, please drop by.”

– Okay. Then I will go and see you.

The title was also set to ‘Machine Gun Jack’.



He is the central character of the story, and people who know Jack often call him ‘Machine Gun Jack’, so he named it that way.

The two main characters, Jack, are a girl named Mong, an engineer, and Joke, a man who drives an iron-clad tank that may have been built around World War I.

Setting up how the three of them met first, the story will start from the point when they have already formed a team together.

Since Jack is the first to start the journey, the purpose has to do with Jack.

When he woke up again with the memory of being half-dead from serious injuries on the battlefield, part of his body was mechanized, and the war he fought was an event that took place 200 years ago.

He wondered what had happened to him in the meantime?

Jack, who did not know it, began a journey to find out.

Of course, the purpose is a city at the center of the world.

It is a city boasting more advanced science than anywhere else in the world.

However, it is not easy for anyone to enter, and it is not easy to get there.

Well······.

The story is roughly taking shape.

So how do we start the story?

*

A wide sandy desert.

A small, open-type old tank that moves around there is seen from afar.

And then it shows the wheel part of the tank.

The surface of the tank rattling in a few places where the screws are missing.

And Joke, who is driving, roaring about what is fun.

Jack, lying on the back seat, is sleeping with his glasses on. Next to it, Mong wearing an umbrella and putting a straw in a cup to suck.

He thought about it as he thought about it.

Then the old motorcycle corps gathered around them.

The horse is a motorcycle, and it is just as ugly as a piece of rebar with two wheels.

However, riding there are villains wearing vicious helmets and masks.

Mong, who looks at them with a relaxed expression, pats Jack, who is sleeping next to him, nipping at the straw.

“Jack, fly.”

“·················ogue.”

Jack shows no sign of happening at all.

Meanwhile, motorcycle villains are flocking in.

with a monstrous scream.

“jack.”

When Mong taps him once more, Jack makes an annoyed expression on his face, and then starts to sharpen his machine gun towards the sky.

Then, the approaching motorcycles start to stumble and fall on the sand. And soon, you can see the motorcycles whining and whining and starting to run away from those who got them up first.

Seeing that, Mong raised his chin against the tank wall and laughed.

Joke, who was driving at that time, glanced around and said.

“If you take some of those bikes, can you fix this?”

“huh. If you fix it with a piece of junk like that, it will only break again. I have to go to the city and buy the right parts.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Saying that, I focus on driving again.

Then Joke sets up the tank. Then he lifted up the protective glasses he was wearing.

“Why? What?”

asked Mong from behind.

“Huh. You can see the city.”

Jack, who was sleeping, scratched his head and got up.

Then he grinned, showing his teeth.

“I’m sure I’ll be able to eat real food after a long time.”

Then Mongdo said, scratching his body.

“I take a bath. My whole body was drenched in sweat.”

He says so.

After listening to the two of them, Joke started the tank again and said.

“Come on, hold on until over there. Zoratin.”

So the tank fluttered and slowly approached the city.

*

Well.

If that’s the case, it’s good to know how the first part will go.

Anyway, I kept this feeling and went to the place where Seon-hee was.

“Seonhee, let’s start the story now.”

Seon-hee, who had been drawing for a while whether it was graffiti or an illustration, raised her head.

“Huh. Okay.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

A strange look of joy is seen between the expressionless faces.

It seems that I am happy to be able to work on a new work properly.

Machine Gun Jack (4)

When Seon-hee took out the continuity practice range, she slowly explained the story she just remembered in detail.

“So, show the tank that appears in the beginning from different angles. And I wish the chain of the tank was a little loose.”

After that, Seon-hee draws a rough sketch of the tank in the story and shows it to me.

“like this?”

“Well, it feels a little precarious. It was so close that I felt like I couldn’t stand it for long even if anyone looked at it.”

Then fix it again and show it again.

“So, like this?”

“This is good. And the figure of Jack and Mong who is sleeping peacefully in the midst of making use of the rattling feeling in the stomach. In particular, it is good to balance the drink so as not to spill. Arms like this, like this.”

When I show Mong’s focus on shaking with action, he stares at him and tilts his head.

“Why?”

“I’d rather do this than that.”

Saying that, I show how to balance my actions with a slightly different rhythm. It looks good, but it still feels like something is missing.

“Then, how about this way?”

“I prefer this way.”

Seon-hee was doing various movements instead of drawing, and I was talking with strange movements next to him, so the attention of the people around us suddenly turned to us.

“What are you both doing?”

Lee Dae-bong asked with a chuckle.

It was then that I realized that we looked a little weird, and stopped acting. Actually, any movement you choose will be the same, and this one movement is not that important.

However, Seon-hee did not hesitate and asked again.

“I’ll do what I think.”

Seeing Seon-hee, who was acting strangely stubborn, he sighed and nodded his head.

“Eh, yes. Do what you think.”

At those words, the corner of Seon-hee’s mouth went up slightly, and she quickly started drawing.

However, even though it was a continuity that was nothing like a rough sketch, the feeling was quite alive.

If it’s like this, it feels like it’s okay to apply a pen line as it is.

Of course, compared to Seonhee’s usual paintings, the detail is too low.

Still, the feeling is alive, so this is a good feeling as it is.

Recently, the quality of even a simple drawing like this has improved tremendously.

Even though Seon-hee, a painting genius, is only drawing pictures on fictional days, it may be a natural result.

Anyway, because it was the first episode, I paid great attention to even a small scene and, listening to my words, Seonhee breathed life into the painting.

He also paid attention to the costumes and weapons of the villains who were chasing him on his bike.

While referring to the pictures I drew as samples.

“What kind of city is it?”

In response to Seon-hee’s question, I looked at the city drawings.

Even in the desert city, I simply drew a dozen of them in advance, so I picked one out of them.

“With this.”

“What direction?”

“This one, to the southeast. If you look at the map, this is the city here.”

“Okay.”

Seonhee listened to my explanation and started drawing the storyline.

I made a speech bubble and added lines, but this part will be slightly modified before the manuscript work. This is because it is still in the process of creating a story, so it is not perfect. However, the reason I do not make all the proper settings in advance is to apply good ideas from time to time.

Of course, we know there are problems with this approach. However, this is also advantageous for the feature film and also to avoid being too engrossed in the initial setting.

Anyway, I plan to proceed lightly with an interesting case in mind, but I still have to create the background for the cartoon, so the setting along with the continuity is a part that needs to be continued.

In addition, in the case of the serialization, we plan to proceed slowly after the persona of despair is completed.

So, after completing the continuity of the first episode, I read it all at once.

The flow of the story is important, so I skip scenes and scenes lightly.

Reading it all the way through, I felt that it was a light, yet quite interesting story.

After that, I took turns showing it to the people in the studio.

“It has a cute feeling compared to Samsara. The lines are light and easy to read.”

“I have fun too. However, fans of Samsara might feel that this is too light, is that ok?”

“I am different. This isn’t a Samsara series, so I don’t think it’s good to focus only on existing Samsara fans. Maybe the teacher had that in mind too?”

“Still, it’s very different from styles like Samsara and Dark Princess, so I’m a little scared of what kind of reaction it will get.”

Each of the fishermen shared their thoughts.

“Now, it is unreasonable to conclude with only the first episode and the continuity. I can only judge once it has been serialized in about one volume.”

Silver spoke more calmly.

Haha, since the calculation is a long film in the first place, it is true that you have to watch it for a long time, but since it is a weekly series, if the response continues to be poor, eventually you will not be able to lead it to a feature film.

Of course, there have been achievements in the past, and there are works that are still being serialized, so the magazine might give you more opportunities.

In any case, the common opinion was that it would be ok if you put aside everything else and just look at the work.

next day.

In the sweltering afternoon, Jiro came into the studio, wiping his sweat with a towel.

“Good morning. Long time no see.”

Jiro, who came in with such a greeting, approached the air conditioner and said, ‘I will live now. made a face

“I’m really envious here. The cooler, no, the air conditioner is full.”

“Doesn’t the publisher have air conditioning?”

“There is, but I usually just use a fan instead.”

“Ah.”

One of the fishermen nodded his head in agreement.

“Actually, our studio is just like winter, but it’s heaven in summer. Just being here on vacation.”

“Ah, but what are your vacation plans this year?”

Jiro looked at me and asked.

“Well, I’m planning a week-long vacation in early August. And before that, I’m thinking of going to a nearby valley as a group. You can bring your family. We are going to use a small chartered bus.”

This is something that all Japanese speakers already know.

If it’s difficult for my family to participate, even a close friend or two said it would be okay, and they’re all looking forward to it.

Well, on that day, I plan to prepare a lot of food, play in the valley, and get a nearby guest house to spend the night.

“Ah, I’m envious. We’ve been so busy that it’s 3 days to call it a vacation. Because of that, at the end of July, we plan to publish a combined issue of boy heroes.

Jiro, who had cooled down by talking about such miscellaneous things, began to look at the setting drawings of the new series ‘Machine Gun Jack’.

This time, unlike Samsara, I have been looking into it for a while because there are quite a lot of things to look at thanks to the preparations for the setting.

Roughly, the description is accompanied by a sketch of the settings.

However, since the volume was not so great, it took a considerable amount of time to scan through it alone.

And Jiro, who looked at me for a while, said to me with a curious face.

“You seem to have a very different atmosphere from Samsara, do you have any continuity in the works?”

“Yeah. here.”

Until this morning, I handed out the completed continuity of 4 episodes that Seonhee had worked on to Jiro.

“The progress of the story has already gone a lot.”

With that said, I read the story all the way through. And after reading it all without saying a word, he closed the continuity note and said.

“This time, it feels quite different from Samsara, as I felt when I looked at the setting pictures.”

“You mean it’s not serious?”

“Yeah. And unlike the characters so far, the characters have vitality. There’s something about it that makes you feel like you’re really alive.”

Silver, who had been silent at that time, opened his mouth.

“Yeah, it’s a character based on a real person. Especially that joker.”

“Oh yeah? Who?”

“The noisy guy that comes from time to time.”

“Ah. Mr. James.”

“Oh, you know right away.”

“Yeah. As you said, you’ll soon find out. But to be honest, this Jack here seems to be familiar with something.”

“jack? Who are you talking to?”

Silver asks with a puzzled expression.

At that moment, Jiro made a strange expression for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“I thought he looked like Mr. Silver, didn’t he?”
