The painter's ID is Xiaojudeng, and she is a celebrity in the comics circle. Her comic style is bold, the plot is bizarre, and the pictures are highly immersive.
Everyone who has read Xiaojudeng’s comics says that the characters in her comics seem to exist in reality. The world in the story is completely different from reality. It is full of adventures and challenges, but it is particularly attractive.
Many readers want to personally go to the comic world outlined by Xiaojudeng to experience the thrilling life of the protagonists.
Xiao Judeng has created five or six comic books and has many fans who like her comic books. She has never participated in a book signing event, nor has she posted her photos on social media, but the sharp-eyed fans in Shen Yijin's live broadcast room still recognized her through the ornaments in her background.
It's a Caramel Queen figurine! Ahhh, this was made by fans together and given to you. It's a one-of-a-kind creation! Ahhh, I actually saw your real face in the livestream! I'm so excited! You're so adorable in person, just like the Caramel Queen!
Is that the little orange lantern I know? Oh my god, I recently watched Dada's Virgo and was immediately hooked. I didn't expect to see Dada in person right after I started. Thanks to Dada!
[Wow, did the two of you above miss the point? Am I the only one who heard this bad news? He can't even draw anymore. Doesn't that mean I'm going to be left with nothing? [crying cat head.jpg]]
[Tonic medicine, what should I do now that the master has retired from the entertainment industry...]
Chen Yijin had never heard of the Little Orange Lantern, but she knew what a disaster it would be if a painter couldn't paint anymore.
This is just like a sword cultivator who can no longer lift a sword. The sword is more important to a sword cultivator than his own life. One can imagine how painful it must be for Xiao Jideng, who can no longer draw.
Shen Yijin carefully read her fortune. Just after the beginning, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Your symptoms have lasted for four years? Didn't you just start drawing comics four years ago?"
Those comic works that readers love were all created by Xiao Jideng when he couldn't draw. Who would believe this if I told them?
Xiao Judeng nodded, her brow furrowed, a look of worry on her face. "I'm an art student. I'm about to graduate and don't want to look for a job, so I'm trying to see if I can support myself through painting. I've never lacked inspiration for painting, and I gained a lot of fans right from the start. Back then, my style wasn't what it is now."
"My surroundings haven't changed, but for some reason, my painting style has gradually become what it is now. The scariest thing is that after my style changed, my inspiration kept disappearing. I would often stay in the studio for a whole day and end up painting nothing. But a few days later, late at night, my mind would suddenly be filled with inspiration, and I would stay up all night to paint it."
When Xiao Judeng said this, the book fans still didn't realize anything was wrong.
Everyone knows that comic creation is not an easy task. Those who have been working on original works for a long time will easily fall into a bottleneck period, and it is normal to have no inspiration for a period of time.
Late at night is when inspiration is most likely to burst forth. Xiaojudeng can get new inspiration every few days, which further proves that the cartoonist they are fans of is very talented.
But Chen Yijin knew what the little orange lantern meant: "Those inspirations seem to be suddenly implanted in your brain. Sometimes you can't even understand where they come from. It's like a painting machine, copying the inspirational images that appear in your mind into reality."
"Right!" Seeing that Chen Yijin understood him, Xiao Judeng stood up excitedly. "I've never come into contact with anything related to those things. Their appearance is inexplicable. And since I drew them, I can no longer draw anything else. Even when I practice coloring, I don't know how to start."
It's scary, like having a skill taken away from her, only to be given back briefly when someone else wants to express something through her hands.
When she creates comics, she cannot inject her own emotions into the characters.
It has become more serious recently. During this period, she doesn't have much emotional ups and downs no matter how new things she sees or how delicious the food she eats is.
Now she is more like a painting machine.
[Ah, that sounds really miserable.]
I never thought you'd feel so much pain when you were drawing our favorite comics. It's really hard not being able to draw what you love.
[Why is this happening? Have you ever seen a psychiatrist? ]
Xiao Judeng forced a smile. "It's not that difficult. It's a very happy thing that my paintings are loved by others. The limitation of my painting style and the loss of inspiration are what make me feel painful."
"When I discovered I had this symptom, I went to see a psychiatrist, but it was no use. The doctor said I was normal and that the lack of inspiration did not affect my normal life. The psychiatrist advised me not to take it too seriously."
But how could one not care? No painter could stand it.
Xiao Judeng came to Chen Yijin for fortune-telling, and he was just trying his best to save the situation.
Shen Yijin sighed: "Your inspiration is not lost, it is just temporarily separated."
Xiaojudeng stared at her in confusion, not understanding what Shen Yijin meant.
"Simply put, your current situation is similar to split personality," Chen Yijin explained. "Four years ago, for some reason, your personality was split into two parts. You are the ordinary person, and the other part, in a way that everyone can understand, is the psychic personality."
The inspirations that Xiao Judeng mentioned that were suddenly implanted were actually things that the psychic personality had experienced personally.
Little Orange Lantern seemed to understand: "No wonder when I was drawing their stories, I could vaguely see the scenes. So they were my own experiences... But why am I seeing things that happened to another personality?"
She seemed to remember that her personality was split and that different personalities did not share memories.
Moreover, there is a competitive relationship between the personalities. Even if they can communicate with each other's memories, the other personality probably won't want her to know too many things, right?
Chen Yijin: "So what I just said is similar. The details are a bit complicated. In short, your two personalities have experienced different things, and your brain will prioritize remembering the more thrilling and exciting parts. The psychic personality has experienced more things and the environment is more dangerous, so all your behaviors will gradually move closer to the psychic personality."
Over time, Xiao Jideng's two personalities will merge into one personality, but at that time, Xiao Jideng's behavioral habits and emotional memories will all be those of the psychic personality. It is difficult to say whether the merged person is Xiao Jideng or the psychic personality.
Xiaojudeng panicked: "Then what should I do?"
