Fantasy comics, difficult to read, difficult to sell, difficult to draw

The cartoonist Yamadaしいたshared a conversation:

Review: You are a different world of work, but there is a line that “Hongfa (Japanese calligrapher) will also have a clerical error.” In the history of different worlds, there is no master of the Fa, and this line is unnatural. Why not change it to “The monkey will fall from the tree”?
Pull its weight author: a world where no monkey, to “Kappa will drown” it
Review: There is a Kappa without a monkey
Author: yes

Animator Nakano Akiko once heard that a mother found a yellow book under the shackles. Under one reading, she could not help but sigh: “How can my son choose this yellow book, the human body structure is wrong, and the composition is also No.”

So in order to cultivate the child’s aesthetics, the animator mother had to move the yellow book himself

A fellow cartoonist nozubeya visited the expatriate editorial department of 10 publishers at the original symposium COMITIA, but all the editorial departments told him that he could not enter the fantasy comics: “Unless it is common in the web-based department. The “Dragon Quest” worldview, the dark fantasy novels that built the world view from scratch, no longer works.”

After this tweet was detonated, nozubeya added that there is only one publisher that explicitly asserts that “it doesn’t work”; but the common understanding of other publishers is “estimated hard”. He brought two sub-mirrors, modern dramas and fantasy. It is obvious that modern dramas are more popular with the editorial department. Several editorial departments have said: “If we want to be in our house, we will choose this one.” He felt that This is the epidemic period

In addition to nozubeya, there are a number of cartoonists and cartoonist volunteers to testify, and the editorial department has indeed expressed similar meaning to them. The situation of science fiction comics seems even worse than fantasy cartoons

Of course, there are still a lot of high-fantasy comics in the serial. Such as “Empty Dragons”, “The Studio of the Magic Hat”, “The Great Magician of the Library”, etc., are all works with a unique worldview. It can be seen that as long as it is a good enough author and meets enough courageous editorial department, the high fantasy comics still have a way to live

The cartoonist Takamura Shinya said that her comic book “ヨルの键”, if it is not the editor-in-chief decided to serialize, may not come out. High fantasy may be the least easy to read. One of the reasons why the editor once told her that the fantasy works are difficult to pass is that only smart people can read. She listened, thinking: “You told me earlier -!”.

Readers are far from the fantasy comics, and the publishers don’t dare to take risks easily. This is the reason why such comics are easy to hit. But perhaps, the editorial department rejected the fantasy comics, and there is another reason

“Weekly juvenile JUMP” editorフジカワsaid that he often heard people say, “fantasy works, if it is not a person who draws a world view, it is very difficult.” Compared to modern works, the threshold of painting fantasy is undoubtedly very high. As for editing, it is hard to say. The editors do have some differences between the different types and those who are not good at it, but they are not completely unable to cope

Off-topic, people often bring 18 banned comics to the editorial office at the same-person exhibition, which will make editors bother. They have no idea how to help you turn this cartoon into a yellower

Editing is useless (disgusting). Still animated people mother

Back to the topic, the cartoonist Takayama Miho said that the fantasy setting has become saturated, which makes him feel that he can no longer eat. But the more important problem is that since it is a fantasy comic, there will be a huge amount of information that has to be told, and the threshold to attract readers is much higher than that of modern drama. The same is true of science fiction

Professional editors are mainly based on modern dramas when they are looking for newcomers, because such works will not be disturbed by the extra decoration and the prevalence of the times, but also reflect the author’s strength. Although there are people who carry out the unique worldview to the end, it is only when the authentic personality is recognized by the editor (or the editorial department)

It is said that people who want to stick to fantasy like nozubeya can go their own way. As long as you don’t give up, maybe one day, you will meet someone who recognizes you

For the warriors who have tigers in Mingzhishan and prefer to Hushan, the cartoonists have also made various suggestions

Cartoon House Village said that the fantasy story in the fictional world is a combination of overhead and overhead. It is very difficult for readers to enter, so it is not easy to recommend it. If you want to tell the story of the rules that readers are not familiar with, then you should set the stage to reality, or at least the campus; if you want to enter the world with an overhead world, then the story will choose the theme of revenge and play that the reader is familiar with

Either draw revenge in the aerial world like “Beidou Shenquan”; or fight like the “Floating Financial Road” in the real world with the rules that readers are not familiar with, how much is displayed. If you change to a “financial story in the world of Moxigan’s muscles and men’s turmoil after the 199-year nuclear war,” it will require a very high level of power for the readers to substitute

The 吟 子 有 也 奇 奇The tail of the clip goes to the editor, so that the editor does not know how to evaluate

“Attacking Giant” Animation 1 Issue BD Volume 1 contains a collection of authors who are full of youth and enthusiasm and ambition. This contribution can bring inner support to those who are contributing to the submission. The owl bird thinks it is a good thing to make the manuscript public

This submission makes the original fantasy world view shrink into the short pages, and there are even climaxes and endings that can make people ignite. This is very rare, very difficult for ordinary people to do, very good

This may also mean that if you want to draw a fantasy writer who has a personality, if you don’t want to hear that the editor is vague about you, and you want to edit it seriously, you have to draw one. The short story of the picture, but also has the work of climax and ending

If you think that “not a big long story can not reflect the charm of my fantasy world!”, then you have strong teammates such as doujinshi, submission website, social networking site. Waiting for the number of fans to increase the number of fans to go to the business world

吟 子子 is very fond of fantasy works with personality, she sincerely hopes that there will be no young cartoonists because of this kind of thing
