This fairy tale novel written by "I Eat Tomatoes", a former platinum writer of Qidian Literature, has been well received by netizens for its grand background, intricate character relationships and exquisite storyline. On March 23, 2015, the "The Legend of Chuan Qi" Shang·Huang New Culture Festival was held in Beijing. Invited by Fu Qiang, the initiator of the new culture of online literature, many cultural elites and industry leaders from various fields gathered together as "mission practitioners" to witness the launch of the new culture and the release of a series of new cultural forms. At this press conference, it was announced that the first season of the "The Legend of Chuan Qi" animation will officially meet fans at the end of March, and will continue to be updated until the end of 2015.

Most of the time, when we watch a movie, an animation, or play a game, what attracts the public's attention is nothing more than the wonderful plot and novel gameplay. Usually, people don't pay attention to how these grand scenes, protagonists, and equipment are made. The first episode of the animation "The Legend of Chusen" has received six million hits since its launch. The animation is very well made, with various details well-proportioned, gorgeous backgrounds, and smooth character movements. In this era of collapse and shit everywhere, the production level is unique. While Chusen fans are waiting for the update of the second episode, a large wave of original drawings has appeared in the world! Let's take a look at how our favorite characters or backgrounds are made~

Headed by Meng Po and Nu Wa, from the comparison of the original painting and the manuscript, the original character setting of the novel is basically restored. The feathered clothes of Nu Wa in the picture are full of natural rhythm, and her smile makes people worship more than the Buddha in the temple on the earth. Whether it is the face, long hair, or feather clothes, they all have extraordinary magic. From the designer's strokes, we can see that the characters are concise but not monotonous, rigorous but not rigid. The brushwork is steady and smooth, the turns are varied and rich, the shapes are accurate and vivid, and the strokes are orderly and harmonious. It is an effective way to artistically enhance the appeal of the picture effect.

In the novel "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", the Ji family's West Palace is described as follows: West Palace City is a magnificent city with three super-large buildings in the city, namely the inner city, the military camp, and the martial arts palace. The inner city is where the Ji family's West Palace people live and the core of the rule. The picture in the upper left corner is the above three cities. In the manuscript, every brick and tile is carefully drawn with precision, which makes the animation more exquisite.

As various monsters and alien species that are indispensable to Ji Ning's cultivation, this time, after being delicate and rough, the fierceness and domineering of the black dragon and the ghost soldiers and ghost generals are fully displayed. Every detail shows the creator's careful consideration and careful deliberation during the creation. The hell messenger who is not afraid of life and death, when his empty blood-red eyes look at you, you feel from the bottom of your heart that you are so close to death. The designer highlights the lines of the ghost soldiers' bodies to the extreme, making them look even colder and more ruthless.

Anyone who has watched Hayao Miyazaki's animations knows the natural and realistic painting style, which is a model of the ultimate in traditional 2D animation. The animation of The Legend of Chusen follows the natural style of painting and constructs a fantasy world in the form of 2D animation. Different from 3D animation, the character movements rendered in 2D from 3D are not as comfortable as the movements of the characters in 2D animation. They can never get rid of the rigidity, and if they get rid of the rigidity, the style is too nonsensical. The animation of The Legend of Chusen uses rich and free artistic expressions to create works with both form and spirit, infecting and touching people's aesthetic consciousness to feel the charm of art and enter the artistic conception of beauty, just like the soul feels the distant and magical narration of nature, and it is as wonderful as experiencing the perfect fusion of novel scenes and animation scenes.
