Chapter 113 Genius Girl
Hatsushimo searched the comic and found that the characters were indeed very similar. If it was just the similarity in the painting style, it wouldn't be a big problem, but the main thing is that even the heroine's clothes are similar to her works, which is not just a simple coincidence of ideas.
Netizens have made comparison pictures. In one picture, the silver crown hair accessories on the heads of the two heroines both contain emerald and iris tail elements. Such a subtle coincidence further confirms the reputation of plagiarism.
Even a fool can see that one of the two works must be plagiarized, but it is hard to say which one plagiarized which one.
Currently, only a small group of people who follow the comics circle are discussing this matter, and the artists on the other side have not made any comments yet.
However, public opinion is not in their favor, and Hatsushimo is trying to contact them.
Xiao He and Sister Xu were filled with indignation.
"You have been designing and conceiving this work step by step since you took over it. We have all witnessed it. Now a work suddenly pops up and accuses you of plagiarism. This is wrong no matter how you think about it. Isn't the other party too blatant?"
"Yes, Shuangshuang, it's impossible for such a coincidence that the ideas are so similar. Think about it, has the drawing been leaked? Besides showing it to us, who else did you show it to?"
Hatsushimo also thought about the leakage of the drawing.
"During the design process, every draft was shown to the original author. The final version was approved by the editor-in-chief, the reviewer and the original author before I started production."
"So, besides us, there are three other people who have seen your design. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, one of these three people must have leaked your design..." He Huan immediately clarified himself, "We will never do such a thing. We are all in this industry and colleagues. We all know the seriousness of leaking drawings. We are so tasteless that we will never do such a thing!"
Hatsushimo smiled, "I know."
"Having said that, among these three people, the reviewers should be the most reliable. They are responsible for this aspect of the work, and their work is rigorous and professional. Generally speaking, it is not easy for manuscripts to leak out from them."
As for the original author, he sold the comic copyright of his novel, so he probably attaches great importance to the derivative works of his novel. Unless someone accidentally sees the draft, it is unlikely that the draft will be leaked.
There is no reason for the editor-in-chief to show his department's manuscript to others.
Unable to come up with any clues through analysis, Chushuang started to connect them one by one.
The reviewer and the original author were a little angry after learning about this. They insisted that they had never leaked the drawings and asked them to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
When Chu Shuang went to the office to find Sun Mengzhu to explain, he was stunned at first, then frowned, "It's not me, why should I give my department's manuscript to others?"
Hatsushimo stared into her eyes quietly, trying to see something from them.
"It's indeed too similar," Sun Mengzhu frowned and looked at Chu Shuang, "Are you sure this manuscript is all your original work? You didn't borrow from others during the creative process..."
"No." Hatsushimo rejected it bluntly, "All original."
After looking at her for a few seconds, Sun Mengzhu waved his hand and said, "I will contact the other party's studio. Before the conclusion comes out, please do not act rashly and go to the comment section to argue with others. Go down."
After the people left, Sun Mengzhu took a deep breath, immediately turned on the computer, logged into a painting forum and flipped to a post he had made a long time ago.
Title: What is the level of conception of these character drawings?
Attached below are some drawings of the male and female protagonists in the comics written by Hatsushimo.
After this post was published, there were many comments. People in the comment section were quite excited and praised the exquisite design, which was totally at the level of a master.
Some people even thought that the poster was the original artist and shouted in the comment section that they worshipped the master, and some even worshipped him as their master.
My hands itch if I don't draw for a day: [Luxury and textured, exquisite but not complicated, the facial features of the characters are very detailed, especially the eyes are the most vivid, this is definitely a natural player! It makes me feel inferior. ]
Picking up junky things to buy paintbrushes: [This is really awesome. This is a level I will never reach in my lifetime. Boss, would you consider opening a class? ]
There are always villains who want to harm me: [You actually told me that this is just a semi-finished drawing? How amazing will the final work be! The male protagonist of this painting is so impressive, wearing a black robe and gorgeous clothes. I actually saw the emperor's majesty and bearing from a paper man. I hope I have these hands in my next life. What a coincidence! ]
Beautiful Girl Genius: [Upstairs, you need to be smart, wow, Madam OP, are you really not considering taking in an apprentice? If you have time, you can live stream the drawing process so that we can feast our eyes! ]
…
At that time, Sun Mengzhu posted this message just to arrogantly let others judge Chu Shuang's half-finished products. People in this forum are notoriously sharp-tongued and picky, and she wanted to see to what extent the works of the so-called talented girl would be stepped on.
The result was unexpected. Those people actually praised these manuscripts so much.
She sneered at the shallowness of the eye holes, but at the same time she enjoyed the feeling of being mistaken for the original artist's hand raising them.
When uploading the post, she also clearly stated that stealing and misappropriation of images was prohibited, but she didn't expect that someone would still copy it.
There are people so brazen and stupid as to just slightly alter these images and then remove them.
Sun Mengzhu pinched the bridge of her nose, deleted the post with a headache, thought about it, and even cancelled her account.
