Dark blue, plain green, dark brown, rose red, silver white... Although these are depictions of spiritual beasts from ancient books, the colors are bold, gorgeous, enchanting and beautiful!
Many of the designs break the constraints of tradition and, with wild imagination, add content that was never seen in previous similar works, which opens the eyes of the viewers and makes them feel as if they have entered a new and wonderful world full of incredible things.
Not to mention the fans of the ancient book Shan Hai Jing, even some people who are not very interested in Eastern culture or painting could not help but marvel at it.
How can it be so beautiful!
It's so stunning that it captivates everyone at first sight.
It's as if the artist has cast some kind of magic on it. Once you take a look at it, you're glued to it, unable to look away...
So beautiful!
Many people couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts, immersed in such a wonderful painting, as if their tired hearts were soothed.
"Okay, due to time constraints, I won't show you all the details. Now, let's watch Xue Ziqi's version!"
It also has a black cover, with the three characters "Classic of Mountains and Seas" outlined in a relatively abstract artistic form, and the background is vague mountains and seas. It looks simple and elegant, which is quite good, but the mediocre design is slightly inferior to the stunning "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
When the up-loader opened the content, the first few pictures were pretty good. Compared with Wen Xi's detached style, this one had a steady academic style. However, it got worse and worse as time went on. A discerning person could see the perfunctory style at a glance.
If the first few pieces still showed some of the artist's creativity, the ones after that had none at all. Anyone with a little professionalism could clearly see that many of them were patchworks of similar previous works, lacking any originality at all, and some of them were even crudely made, as if they were rushed out!
Wasn’t this a rushed draft?
With the previous experience of Wu Jiarou, Wen naturally did not dare to find someone to ghostwrite again. Besides, Xue Ziqi was a real talent and had a certain fame, so there was no need for that.
But in order to publish before Wen Xi, rushing to finish the manuscript was inevitable. After all, there were more than 200 paintings. Even though Wen Xi had experience in publishing books in her previous life, it took her nearly two years to paint so many paintings. Moreover, she only slightly revised her previous creations and did not need to rethink them. The speed was extremely fast. To make a painting perfect, it would take at least two or three days!
It is said that Xue Ziqi only spent one summer vacation to complete the entire art collection.
For some of the works, she could refer to Wen Xi's works that had already been published on Weibo, but for the rest, she had to write them out of thin air.
Whether it was done with care or not, we are neither stupid nor blind. Even if we are not art majors, we can tell it just by basic feeling.
"Well, I wonder what everyone thinks? Anyway, I think in terms of painting, "Shan Hai" wins! Of course, this is just my personal opinion!" The up master made a preliminary conclusion.
"Next, let's look at the prices of the picture books. They're all made of thick coated paper. Judging from the printing and color difference, 'Shan Hai' is superior. However, the price is 196 for Xue Ziqi's edition and 98 for Wen Xi's edition."
Huh? Did you hear that right?
The audience watching the video were stunned.
The Wenxi version is obviously much better in every aspect, but the price is only half of the Xue Ziqi version?
"Is it the other way around?"
"'Shan Hai' is 196, right?"
Barrages of confusion flew up.
There is no reason why the good ones are so much cheaper than the average ones!
