Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 114 Full of Sincerity

Chapter 110 Four.

Higashino Division is just an ordinary person who knows a little art.

But different from ordinary people, Higashino, who knows a little art, can always live out the boring daily life with enviable colors in his daily life.

Higashinoji really has no experience designing mascots.

But from Higashino Chihaya, Higashino Division got inspiration.

And when the inspiration comes, all kinds of new ideas come flooding up, and I can't suppress it.

"I went in the wrong direction before."

Looking at the Kumamon in the sketchbook, which is gradually combining naive and cute poses, Higashino sighed inexplicably.

Yes, completely misdirected before.

Higashinoji wanted to draw Kumamon's cute and humble appearance through painting skills, but he ignored the most attractive element of Kumamon itself.

That's action.

That's right, the core element of the reason why Kumamon can give people a cheap and cute feeling lies in its simple and cheap movements.

Stuffing a paper sword into his mouth, wearing cartoon sunglasses, tilting his head and covering his mouth in a mocking gesture

These are all brought about by Kumamon's actions.

Higashinoji doesn't like relying only on systematic skills. After all, only relying on systematic skills will quickly wither the painter's divergent thinking-this is putting the cart before the horse.

After all, there are many people with superb painting skills, but there are only a few painters who are really popular in the world. Each of them has their own unique way of thinking, and it is because they have different views on everything, which is why That's why they are famous all over the world.

"It's no wonder that Kumamon had to find a special puppet actor to perform this role in his previous life. It turned out that he mainly wanted to express his character with actions."

Higashino Tsukasa muttered to himself, rubbed his eyes, and closed the sketchbook full of Kumamon's various movements.

Probably such an idea.

But his drawing is not natural enough now, and he still needs to observe Kumamon, er Higashino Chihaya.

Higashino Division turned to look at Higashino Chihaya who was lying on the bed and fell asleep hugging the pillow.

Just now Higashino Chihaya was so angry that she asked Higashino to wipe off Kumamon, but after Higashino refused, she jumped up and down in anger.

After the fuss was almost over, she became a little tired and fell asleep again.

It's just that even in her sleep, she still pouted her mouth angrily, looking very angry.

This made Higashino couldn't help smiling, and after touching her face, Higashino went to the toilet to wash up and prepare to rest.

As for the creation of the image of Kumamon

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

If this pace continues, it will probably take less than a week for Higashino Division to list all of Kumamon's plans.

When the time comes, ask Shenmu Qiren to borrow a computer and make the slides.

Higashinoji relaxed, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

The next morning.

In the late twilight, Qiren woke up under his wife's worried eyes.

There is no way, he was still drunk yesterday, and in the end he was picked up by his subordinates in his own car. Today he was groggy and his face was swollen after drinking.

In this state, I still have to go to work.

but--

"I still want to go." Shenmu Qiren thought of Higashinoji who was staying in the hotel, gave up the idea of ​​sleeping for another 5 minutes, and got up yawning.

I didn't win over Higashino Si at the reception yesterday, so we must get closer today and let him work hard

At least you can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days like other teachers.

"Teacher Higashino is also a genius, and he is still young, and his thinking is relatively divergent. Maybe he has drawn the mascot image now?"

Although he knew it was impossible, Shenmu Qiren still teased himself, and this could be regarded as his own method of decompression.

Shen Mu Qiren quickly brushed her teeth and tidied up her appearance, but her face was still a little swollen and there was nothing she could do about it.

After greeting his wife, Shenmu Qiren got in the car and drove towards the hotel.

Ten minutes later, Shenmu Qiren looked at the time and felt that it was almost time, so he parked the car in the parking lot, took the elevator directly, and came to Dongyesi's room.

He rang the doorbell and tapped on the door: "Teacher Dongye, I am Qiren Shenmu, are you free?"

After about five seconds, the door opened, and Dong Yesi's smiling face appeared: "Deep Mu-san? Please come in."

He stepped aside to let Shen Muqiren in.

The room was still the same room, but at this time, Higashino Chihaya was sitting on the bed with her knees hugged and watching TV. When she saw that it was Shen Muqiren who came in, she just shrank her neck and didn't show an overly scared look.

After all, Higashino Chihaya also dealt with Shenmu Qiren for a day yesterday. Although they didn't communicate much, they were considered half acquaintances.

"Good morning, Miss Higashino." Shenmu Qiren greeted Higashino Chihaya.

"Um"

Higashino Chizao nodded, responded, and then turned his gaze to the TV.

On the screen was her favorite animal show, and she never missed a single episode at home.

Shen Muqiren glanced briefly at the interior of the room, and his eyes stopped on the desk on the other side.

That is?

There was a sketchbook on Dong Yesi's desk at this time, and a tube of pencils and colored pencils beside it.

But none of that matters.

The most important thing is that there seems to be something drawn on the sketchbook that Higashino Division spread out

Looks like a bear?

Shen Muqiren regained her spirits, and was about to go to the table to pick up the sketchbook.

"Deep Mu-sang, please sit here." Dong Yesi closed the sketchbook with a smile, and at the same time called Shen Mu Qiren.

"Uh" Shenmu Qiren opened her mouth, looked at the sketchbook in Dong Yesi's hand again, and then sat down.

Dong Yesi poured tea for Shenmu Qiren, and it was considered that they had officially entered the conversation stage.

"Teacher Dongye, you should have had breakfast, right?" Shenmu Qiren asked.

It looked as if he was asking about Higashinoji's breakfast, but his eyes never left the sketchbook beside the table.

He was a little suspicious.

Could it be that Higashino decided on the image of the mascot just on the first day he came here?

This is too fast, isn't it?

It was just said yesterday, but today is over?

He was itching in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly.

"Well, I just ate with my sister, thank you Shen Musang for paying attention to such an early morning visit, do you have anything to say?"

Higashino nodded with a smile, and then asked a question with concern.

It's not easy for the other party to come here so early in the morning. In society, you respect me a foot and I return you a foot. Naturally, he can't be too indifferent.

"It's nothing to do. I just want to see Mr. Dongye to get in touch with each other. How is living here? Is it comfortable?"

Shenmu Qiren looked away from the sketchbook and asked.

"It's okay, my sister is also very satisfied, thank you Shen Musang for preparing such a good place for me."

Dong Yesi also noticed that the other party seemed to be looking at the sketchbook in his hand intentionally or unintentionally.

He simply handed the sketchbook to Shen Mu Qiren politely: "Does Shen Mu Sang want to see this?"

"Ahem, is it okay? Teacher Dongye hasn't finalized the draft yet, right?"

Shenmu Qiren rubbed her hands, saying that she was embarrassed, but her movements were not slow at all, and she took the sketchbook directly.

"Hmm. It's just a first draft. It's quite rough." Dongyesi frowned slightly, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

But soon, he smiled and replied: "But it's okay to show Shen Musang the first draft."

After all, this world is a parallel world to the last one. Maybe the fiery Kumamon in the last world will not be popular in this world?

This must also be taken into account, so it is also good to ask the opinion of a third person.

"Then I'm welcome."

After getting the full approval of Higashino Division, Shen Mu Qicai slowly opened the sketchbook.

No way, he heard that some geniuses have eccentricities and are unwilling to show the half-finished products to others, but since Higashinoji allows it, it shouldn't be a big problem.

He opened the sketchbook, and then saw the image of a black bear on it.

It was a black bear with a big belly and a round body.

Round blush hangs on the two cheeks of the black bear, and the funny open mouth seems to be laughing at something. At this moment, it covers its mouth with two fleshy and round bear paws, and looks at it with its cheap black eyes. Here, it seemed that Shenmu Qiren felt inexplicably being ridiculed.

Yes.

It feels weird.

Obviously the black bear in this painting put on a cheap face as if he was laughing at himself, but he couldn't get angry for no reason, and thought it was a bit cute instead.

This contrasting and cute feeling made Shen Mu Qiren's eyes drawn away.

It was only when he came back to his senses that he was startled.

This image is too delicate, right?So attractive!

"Teacher Dongye, this is?" Shen Muqiren raised her head.

"This is Kumamon, and this time I want to use it as the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture." Higashino replied first, but quickly shook his head: "But it's not enough, the movements still need to be refined, there is no Not very attractive."

what?

Shenmu Qiren choked heavily at these words.

Not attractive yet?

That's attractive enough, isn't it?

This vivid appearance of Kumamon makes Chiruto a little fondle admiringly - this image is simply unisex, not only taking care of men's preferences, but also in line with women's aesthetics.

But Higashinoji is still not satisfied with this appearance?

Shenmu Qiren wanted to hold this sketchbook and leave directly.

But after thinking about it, he reluctantly put down the sketchbook, and said to Higashino, "Mr. Higashino, I think this is fine. I think it's okay to follow this design."

"It's not enough." Higashinosi just responded with a smile.

But the resoluteness in his tone let Shenmu Qiren know that the other party has no intention of making concessions in this regard, and Dongyesi still wants to strive for excellence.

This made Shen Mu Qiren sigh again.

Originally, he was still comforting himself this morning, saying that Dong Yesi might have drawn the image of the mascot.

It turned out that Higashino Division not only fiddled with a mascot image, but even refined it. This work attitude is too good.

And Kumamon, the name that Higashinoji came up with is also interesting.

Kumamoto Bear, the Roman pinyin in Japanese is Kumamon, the front "kuma" combines the elements of the place name "Kumamoto County (Kumamoto)", and the latter "mon" is the "person" in the Kumamoto dialect. Means 'person'.

Therefore, the name Kumamon has another meaning, that is, the meaning of "Kumamon himself". This not only clarifies the concept that Kumamon comes from Kumamoto Prefecture, but also cleverly uses the Japanese Roman homophonic stalk to make Kumamon The name is more interesting.

And this is just the name Dong Yesi came up with one night.

Shenmu Qiren looked at Dong Yesi, and couldn't help being surprised.

How did the other party consider so much?

This is only the first day, and the mascot's name, specific personality, and image have basically been finalized.

"Mr. Higashino is indeed a genius. I was thinking when I saw the information before. You should be able to help Kumamoto Prefecture solve this problem."

Shenmu Qiren's expression was very sincere, and he reached out to hold Dongyesi's palm, and praised him very seriously-he really felt like Liu Bei met Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.

Dongyesi smiled and held Shenmu Qiren's hand: "The title of genius is too much, I dare not be called it, I don't dare to be called it, and I just finished my job. Thank you Shenmusang for giving me this opportunity to come here."

Seeing that Higashino is not arrogance, Shenmu Qiren thanked Higashino, and combined with Higashino's serious attitude, he suddenly felt that Higashino was the most suitable candidate for the mascot design of Kumamoto Prefecture.

But work matters still need to be discussed.

The two sat down again, Shen Muqiren took a sip of tea and asked Higashino after calming down a little: "I don't know how long it will take for Mr. Higashino to complete the image design of Kumamon?"

He already knew it.

If you only look at the degree of completion, Higashino Division's Kumamon bear has a high chance of winning this county mascot creation.

So he immediately asked Higashino Division the required completion time, intending to show the sincerity of the county government to Higashino Division.

"Three to four days, it should be completed within this time." Higashino made some calculations and answered the other party.

He has already grasped the knack of how to create Kumamon, and the next step is the process of continuous refinement, trying to figure out this once popular Internet celebrity mascot all over the world.

"Teacher Dongye must tell me if you need anything, and I will fully support you."

Shenmu Qiren held Dongyesi's hand again, with an enthusiastic look that I would agree to any request.

The other party's sincerity was full, even Dongyesi was a little moved.

He actually wanted to get a computer. After all, he would definitely need a computer to make slides explaining Kumamon in detail.

Including Kumamon's actors, actions and all kinds of things need to be stuffed in and explained.

As for the others?

Not much else is required.

If Kumamon can win the name of the mascot of Kumamoto County this time, then Higashino is enough to get a lot of things with the mascot role of Kumamon.

It's better for people not to be too greedy.
