My Animation Era

  Chapter 581 Purple is bones and green is tendons (for subscription)

  In the original version of "The Prince of Tennis", in the regional qualifiers and the capital competition stage, in fact, Qingxue did not encounter too strong opponents.

  This is not bragging or anything...

  The older generation Qinggaku, that is, Tezuka was still picking up the ball, and he was not a minister. Even if Qinggaku failed to enter the national competition, he was still at the level of "random killing" in the regional qualifiers.

   When Tezuka, Fuji, Ryoma and other Qinggaku are fully assembled, the strength will be even more outrageous.

  This involves a knowledge point!

  Don't look at the plot of "The Prince of Tennis", there are so many schools on the stage, and there are often dozens or hundreds of schools participating. But in fact, most schools are cannon fodder for a round of tours.

   Except for a few strong schools such as Hyotei, Rikkai University, Shitenpoji, Fudomine, Yamabuki, and Higa, which can leave a good impression on the audience, the audience of other schools may not even remember their names.

   Does this need to change?

  The strong wishes of the schools around Jiangchuan gave Gu Miao the idea of ​​giving these supporting roles cannon fodder schools to enhance their sense of presence.

   Of course, ideas are ideas.

   Before a better solution can be thought of, the matter of improving the presence of weak schools can only stay in words in the end.

  …

  Gu Miao has been very busy recently.

  Take Ma Kui to all the famous middle schools across the country, and after visiting the infrastructure and environment of these schools on the spot, the production team of the animation "The Prince of Tennis" finally got together.

   Time came to the end of April.

   Gu Miao, who returned to her hometown in Jiangchuan, couldn't wait to hold the production team's first planning seminar before she had time to rest.

   First of all, the art design must be determined.

  Including scenes, props, characters and other art-related design elements, all need to be determined at this meeting.

   The scene has nothing to say...

  Gu Miao and Ma Kui have been traveling for more than half a month, and through field visits and investigations, they are already very familiar with each school.

  Props are also quite simple.

  Because "The Prince of Tennis" is a sports series with "tennis" as the core, many props and equipment can find prototype references in reality.

  Racquets and training equipment, etc., refer to the actual items, and it will be OK after a slight adjustment.

  The focus is on the "team uniform" design!

  Each school not only has its own school uniform, but also its tennis team’s exclusive team uniforms for selected players.

  The school uniform is okay, after all, it also has a realistic reference basis, and it can be used after a little adjustment to meet the needs of animation design.

  But there is no reference for the team uniform...

  This also means that the animation production team led by Gu Miao must design more than ten sets of tennis uniforms for "The Prince of Tennis", even if one is missing.

   This project is not small!

  The only good thing is that these uniforms are slightly different in color and style. But basically, everyone is a variant of sportswear.

  Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School, blue and white.

   This is Gu Miao's favorite set of team uniforms, and it is also the "blue and white glory" in the minds of many Net King fans.

  Probably due to the blessing of the "protagonist's halo", the official team uniform of Qingxue in the original work, to be honest, looks the most eye-catching and youthful set.

   Lele Middle School, mainly dark black.

   Lele Middle School with the "Fudo Peak" template, as one of Qingxue's main opponents, also has the reputation of "Black Legion", and its team uniform is quite good.

   Then there's the off-white Ice Emperor, the white St. Rudolph, and…

  Pumpkin-colored Lihaida!

  As soon as Li Haida was mentioned, Gu Miao couldn't help but want to complain about their official team uniforms.

  Not to mention the "collision" with the yellow-green team uniform of Sitianbaosi.

certainly!

   This may be due to Gu Miao's different aesthetics.

  Anyway, he couldn’t accept it. In the original book, Zhong Li Haida’s yellow team uniform felt silly, and it didn’t reflect the temperament of “King Li Haida” at all.

   In the simplest terms...

  Yukimura Sanada and others wearing this team uniform did not give people a sense of oppression that was about to suffocate! Do you understand the feeling of oppression?

  Li Haida is very important.

  As an absolutely strong school with the fifteenth consecutive championship in Kanto and the second consecutive championship in the country, when people mention Lihai University, the word "invincible" immediately comes to mind.

  If Qingxue didn't have the aura of the protagonist, Lihai would have won the national competition three times in a row.

   For a school like this, Gu Miao thinks that their team uniforms need to give people a strong sense of oppression, full of aura, and become the nightmare of all schools.

  What color should I choose?

  Original black is excellent, especially the dark black team uniform, which has a strong aura and a sense of oppression. It's a pity that the dark black team uniform, Fudofeng, which is the Wanbao version of Lele Middle School, has already been used.

   "Purple is bone and green is tendon..."

  Just when Gu Miao didn't know how to design the uniforms for the tennis team of Lihai University, that is, Wanbao's version of Qiushi Middle School, a beauty designer suddenly said a catchphrase.

  Everyone's eyes lit up.

   This sentence is definitely no stranger to many people who have studied color matching.

  Because this is the classic color matching that you will never get tired of in color matching, and it is often used in the field of clothing.

   "Does purple go with green?"

  Gu Miao thought about it seriously, picked up a piece of draft paper on the table, and drew a coat pattern, then painted it purple and decorated it with green stripes.

   It's a bit tasteful.

   Gu Miao, who felt more and more right after looking at it, immediately made a decision: "Okay! I'll use this color!"

  As the old saying goes, purple air comes from the east.

  Purple is indeed easy to create the illusion of oppression and a strong aura in terms of visual impact.

   And most importantly…

  This color scheme has not collided with other schools so far, and it is a unique logo of the same style of Qingxue.

   Recognition is also very important!

  As long as people can immediately think of Qiushi Middle School Tennis Club when they see the team uniform of this color, then this design is a success.

  This cannot be learned from the original work...

  In the original work, Sitianbao Temple and Lihai University have one Kanto and one Kansai, but the team uniforms are in contrasting colors, and it is easy to make mistakes if you don’t look carefully. This is a typical case of low recognition.

   If you don’t believe me, look at Qingxue!

  That blue and white glory is so recognizable, would anyone mistake Qingxue's team uniform?

  From a long distance, as soon as you see a touch of blue and white, you know that the main player of Qingxue Tennis Club is coming. This kind of design is a good design!

   After simply determining the uniform design style of each school and the main color, the next thing to do is to determine the character art design.

   This is easy, too.

   Qian Zhenzhi and Zhong Guoguang are two men with glasses, but one is round and the other is square.

  Zhou Zhu squinted his eyes.

  Big stone pot hijab, Chen Haitang wears a headscarf, Ryoma likes to wear a ball cap...

  These distinctive character traits were quickly realized through Gu Miao's narration.

  Compared to the team members, the most difficult design is actually Longma's father, tennis legend Long Nantian.
