Draw on blockchain x Google SEO : Frogs' Ensemble 小青蛙的合奏 | #10 認真

1



這是第十期的GOOGLE SEO比賽的作品(笑)謝謝JUBI每週的主題,這週的主題有點難度呢!我想了又想怎樣去表達這次的主題才好,很認真地想!因為這週的主題是「認真」!

This is the 10th episode of Jubi's Google SEO contest. This week's topic is "Serious". And Thank you Jubi again for a challenging theme, I had though for a while of what should I draw.

為甚麼會想到用合奏的青蛙呢?因為想起大學的池塘,牠們就呱呱叫的一唱一和。為甚麼不是鳥呢?因為鳥給我的感覺叫的優美,是唱歌,但青蛙們呢,有時真的是一個吵啊!所以也倒合適這次我想表達的東西。

I recall my university's garden memory, there were frogs croak. Why isn't it bird? Because I think birds' singing are beautiful but frogs sometimes quite noisy. It is suitable to what I want to tell about the topic.


也許跟很多STEEM友一樣,在工作時遇到各種性格的同事(或者學生時期的同學們)。而很多時,別人做的事情看在自己眼裡都覺得「不夠認真」。而且還要給「不認真」的人擦屁股,或者被這些人留下的「蘇州屎」加重工作量,無辜得很。這...我也很無解,那些人還要領比你高的薪水呢。

而我還多一個問題,就是我在細節上過份認真,這倒反而拖慢了工作進度,花多了時間又沒有得到很好的效果。

怎麼說呢,以往參與過一些動畫後期工作,簡單來說你幻想有一個人畫了角色的動作,另一個人畫了背景,而我就是把這兩個東西放到一起,調整大小,鏡頭活動,還加一些特效,加加光影下雨閃電等等,然後按輸出鍵。

然而一切不會像想想中順利,角色動作不合要求又不能重畫時,強行在軟體裡修改;預定了的場景,因為導演心意轉變,得重新整合調較位置色彩;最興奮莫過於把一切砍掉重練。

而此時,材料缺乏的情況下,得用上一些舊材料幫忙,但因為不是量身定造的,所以也得花時間堆堆砌砌。而我也永遠覺得不夠好,不夠完美。很「認真」地每一幀地畫畫補補這樣。

然而,上頭可能並不需要這過份的細心。而且我也浪費了時間。

不過,我覺得並不等於放棄細心和認真,得學習平衡和取捨。

Like some Steemians here, we meet different people at work with different personalities. Some of them are not working seriously, and making mistakes. These mistakes at the end increase your workload. Even worse, these people receiving higher salary, lol.

But my problems is, I am the one working too serious and the outcome is spending too much time with no significant improvement of works. I had taken part in some animation projects. I mostly do compositing. Let say someone drew an action of character, someone drew the background. And I am the one who combine all of these, adjusting the camera, adding visual effects etc.

Sometimes, there are occassions that changing shots and scenes but with no renewal of materials. I can only find some old materials and do my best to make it looks good. My problems is too perfectionistic. Pay attention to every frame which in fact no one recognise. As a result, I spend too much time on somethings irrelavant. Of course, it doesn't mean that do pay attention and finish work seriously. But I have to learn how to make the balance.

這次也是綠色的世界,最近都常畫動物和自然界的東西(自然界真的靈感無限啊!)所以在青蛙的衣服上用上大膽一點的色彩和紋路,也想突顯牠們的佻皮。

Again the world of green. Previous illustrations are also about animals and nature. The nature always inspired me. So, I designed the cloth of frogs with eye catchy patterns and make them look a bit "naughty".


「呱!我很認真地敲我的銅鈸耶!」
「不是,我是鼓手!你得聽我的,每一下我都認真地數拍子呢!」
「聽我的色士風,我都吹出靈魂來了~」
「我的三角鈴不知跟誰的旋律來敲好了啊...」

青蛙們都各自覺得自己很認真地演奏,但認真不等於協調。每個都各自一個勁兒地表演,技術多好都不能成為美妙的樂曲...

"Croak! I am crashing my cymblas seriously!"
"Nooo! I am the drum, you have to listen to my beat!"
"Hey, listen to my saxophone, I play with soul."
"Oh, I don't know who I should follow with my triangle bell...."

The frogs are playing seriously, also individually. Even they play with professionals, there is no harmony and no beautiful melody is made.

這次嘗試在圖畫裡寫一個小小的故事,像兒童圖畫書那樣(害羞)在參加了故事接龍比賽後,覺得寫故事也滿好玩~所以多少這次也是先有故事的意念,再安排小青蛙們的角色和位置的。

This time I have a little challenge to myself that try to create a short story and draw an illustration of it. So somehow I have the story first, then design the poses and composition of the image. All these thanks to the story solitaire in cn community by @guyverckw link


「不要吵~大家看看我~」突然跳出一隻青蛙。「我剛認真地學會指揮回來,要跟著我的指揮試試看嗎?」
「好吧!」「指揮是甚麼?」「就看著他手勢的節奏啊,一拍一拍的。」「就這樣?」「還有大小聲,看他雙手提高了,這是大聲一點。」「哎喲!指揮身軀縮小了。被甚麼嚇到嗎?」「不是喇,這裡你要小聲一點的意思。」「喔,他特意轉頭點了我一下,我『叮』~」

「大家準備了沒有?來了,一,二,三~」

"Quite~ Look at me!" Suddenly a frog jumps out, "I just learnt how to be a conductor seriously. Would you guys willing to try perform with me?"

"OK!" "What is conductor?" "Look at his command shown by his pose and gesture, look, here is the beat!" "OK!" "Oh, also the strength, here you should play forte." "Look at him, he squeezes his body? Who scared him?" "No, it means you play pianissimo." "Oh he looks at me with a wink, ding~"

"Every one get ready? Let's play, 1,2,3~"

青蛙們的演奏會變怎樣呢?可能還需要多點練習。不過,如果團體工作有一個好的指揮(認真的指揮)事情會事半功倍。各有長處短處,大家都認為自己是最認真的,但團隊合作沒有協調和理解都不能成事。更甚者變成惡性較真也傷和氣;「認真就輸了」的想法過度強烈,變成沒有要求而品質被拖垮。遇過不同的案件,指揮者也各有不同。有的無為而治,有的自我,有的熱情,有的關懷體恤。而當中會有人看出問題加以提點,而有些側比較想別人自我發現,有些就當作甚麼都沒看到不要煩,有些就像時下流行的一句話「認真你就輸了」。

而在有的沒的細節上過份認真的問題,有時隨著不同的伙伴可以改善,也能做到好看的東西;但有時也有把事情拖進地獄的風險... 而現在或多或少,在STEEMIT的插圖系列我也認真地在持續畫畫發帖寫章的習慣,在品質跟時間的平衡與取捨,因為我真的可以把一張圖畫到天荒地老都不拿出來。終歸自己出發去改善是最好的。

At the end, will the frogs perform well? May be, or need more practice:) Anyway, to me, a good conductor can solve many problems and make work smooth and efficient. A team work need coordinate and understanding. Too serious may harm the harmony; everyone thinking "why so serious" will also lower the quality. I met different projects' leaders with different personalities. Types like let-it-be, straight, warm, do-not-disturb, etc. And my problem of perfectionist sometimes being used well and make nice work, but sometimes wasting time and the out come only so-so. And on Steemit, I also take it as a chance to practice the balance by drawing illustration and writing post. Meeting a good leader is luck, and self improvement is the most important.
