Chapter 13 Lottery
Chapter 13 Lottery
[If Huazai were to say this, the serious answer would be that he's just being a sour grapes, purely out of jealousy.]
[To answer more seriously, you're just trying to get the girl criticized, like saying "your poison is her honey"?]
[Summary: I just want to see you suffer.]
[Even though it won't make her any better off, she'll be happy seeing you unhappy?]
[The comments above are all correct; I agree.]
[With two.]
[With three.]
Shu Hua glanced at the comments section, automatically ignoring the trolls' remarks.
After reading the serious discussion among his fans, he remained silent for a while, then quietly picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Okay, I don't understand. They actually try to make themselves happy by seeing a stranger having a bad time."
"Life was really interesting."
Shu Hua put down her coffee cup and picked up the tablet she used for drawing, which she had taken along with her when she made coffee.
Well, she has a ton of electronic devices; it's simply because she loves buying them.
To ensure everyone gets their share, she uses one device to make sure she gets to enjoy herself at least once a month.
"Alright, let's ignore those people whose thought processes are different from ours."
Those people can be left to the housekeeper.
Now, let's begin tonight's belated raffle.
I was 13 minutes late, but we'll count it as 15 minutes, so we'll draw three spots.
Everyone who needs to wash their hands, hurry up! The housekeeper will start drawing lots in one minute~
When longtime fans saw Shu Hua bring out the orange-cased tablet, they already knew it was a giveaway and had already gone to take a shower.
Oh, my hands, please be white just this once today.
[Life is but a dream: What are you smoking? What are you smoking? (runs away in a hurry.jpg)]
[Reply to Mr. Meng: Your wife will draw a picture for the person who draws the winning image. It can be a full-body QQ image, or a portrait of the person themselves.]
[Feel free to make any requests. It can be drawn on the spot or after the broadcast; it all depends on what Europeans are thinking today.]
[Finally, it's my turn to be the boss (after washing my hands, I washed them three times, once with soap, once with hand sanitizer, and once with shower gel)]
It was actually painting, which surprised Fusheng Ruomeng for a moment, yet it was also somewhat expected.
Drawing red envelopes is so cliché and unoriginal.
The streamer's main job is drawing, and most of the people who consistently watch her live streams are fans of her artwork.
Sending paintings is indeed what fans would like to receive.
Should he go wash his hands too? He probably doesn't.
[The Dream Weaver, who traversed the painted landscapes in the live stream, has gifted 1 Heart of the Universe (100000 Sound Coins)!]
【? ? ? 】
Why is CEO Meng suddenly sending gifts again? Is it a bribe? (Alert)
[Warning +1, if Meng wants to draw Zai, can't she just commission him directly? Don't try to use us, the bunch who can only pick up scraps for commissions (crying)]
[Life is but a dream: It's just washing my hands. How could someone as upright as me do something like bribery?]
[No, is this right? Who spends 1 yuan to wash their hands?]
【Why would you, Mr. Meng, need to wash your hands personally?!】
[Mr. Meng isn't just washing his hands, he's gilding them!]
[Hilarious! Meng Zong: I was just washing my hands. Fans: No! You're giving them a blessing!]
[Got it, got it! So the Heart of the Universe is hand sanitizer! The hand sanitizer that CEO Meng uses, where's the link? Oh, no, never mind then.]
[Upstairs, I have the link, but do you have any funds? (doge)]
[I'm reporting the person upstairs for attacking me with their wallet! I'm hurt, so you're forbidden from competing with me for the prize draw!]
[Look at me, you little rascal! I washed my hands with Dream's Cosmic Heart (not really), and my luck is amazing!!]
[This female believer wishes to have a balanced diet of meat and vegetables throughout her life, and only hopes to be selected! I want a cute QQ person!]
[I've won! I'd trade my roommate's ten years of good luck in finding a partner for this prize! (Roommate: ???)]
While the comments section was still filled with jokes and prayers, a gift box suddenly popped up on the screen, with a message below indicating that clicking it would enter a prize draw.
Comments paused immediately; let's start the giveaway!
The lottery draw takes one minute, after which the system will announce the list of winners.
[Art Assistant: Congratulations to @浮生若梦 @星星不眨眼 @猫爪咖啡]
[Holy crap!!! Dream actually won!]
【Aaaaaaah!!! Gold-plated hands! Blessed hands! So the Heart of the Universe hand sanitizer is actually real!!! It's just that I can't afford it!】
[This is a shill! Absolutely a shill! It's a conspiracy! (Just kidding!)]
[Blink, note, if you've been kidnapped!]
[Life is but a dream: Wow, it seems like washing hands with 'Heart of the Universe' really works! I wonder how it will be next time I try a different handwashing product (laughs wildly with hands on hips.gif)]
Anyone want to team up to collect burlap sacks? I'm providing burlap sacks!
【I'm going to use my stick!】
I'll provide the rope!
[I'll offer myself! Can I lie down next to Meng Zong? I'm willing to sacrifice myself to hold him back!]
[Upstairs...]
Shu Hua looked at the comments section and laughed heartily, "Meng Zong, maybe this is a newbie buff. You guys are all old fans who have already tried your luck a few times, so you're all unlucky~"
[Life is but a dream: The host is right!]
Shu Hua: "Alright, President Meng, hurry up and send the requirements to the housekeeper. If you have any reference pictures, send them over as well."
[Life is but a dream: I was wondering why the other two were lurking, turns out they were cutting in line! Why didn't you guys remind me?]
Jealousy is what made me lose my memory!
[Mr. Meng, you should cherish the fact that you haven't been stuffed in a sack yet, stop showing off!]
A notification sound rang out, and Shu Hua picked up her phone to check. Sure enough, it was a request from the housekeeper, for both of them.
"Looks like you were all waiting for me to be late, sending this request of several hundred words in a second!" Shu Hua looked at the request and shook her head.
This group of people really has "confidence" in her!
Shu Hua: "Okay, I'll draw the first one, the idol stage costume that the stars don't blink for."
The user "Stars Don't Blink" provided a picture of their idol, without many other requirements; it seemed to mean a 1:1 resemblance. So, shall I start drawing?
After saying that, Shu Hua glanced at the comments.
【Stars Don't Blink: Yes, thank you for your hard work drawing the little one~ (sending flowers)】
After confirming the requirements, Shuhua began to draw.
Since this wasn't a dedicated painting session, and no equipment was set up, it was impossible to divide the image in two, with her on one side and the canvas on the other.
However, it was originally just a simple line drawing. She adjusted the angle of her live-streaming phone so that viewers could roughly see the image on the tablet from an overhead angle.
The idol that the artist "Stars Don't Blink" requested to be drawn is named Lin Yao. Shu Hua doesn't know him at all, but he looks alright and has good stage presence, at least that's how it looks in the fan-taken picture he sent.
With her left hand, she quickly slid across the tablet to zoom in on the canvas, while her right index finger made precise selections like a magician.
First, a Q-version outline is drawn with light gray lines: a round head takes up one-third of the body, and short arms and legs are exaggerated yet cute.
Next, she switched to a fine brush and with a few strokes drew Lin Yao's signature blue-purple spiky hairstyle, bringing the fluffy texture to life.
The right index finger swirls across the screen, first laying down a matte silver base, then using a highlighter brush to add metallic glitter.
In a short while, the folds and tassel details of the silver fringed jacket came to life on the page: each tassel swayed delicately, as if blown by the wind.
She switched to the animation effects tool and added a motion blur, making the chibi-style figure jump on the stage. For the leather pants, she filled them with dark black, using clean strokes, and added a reflective treatment to the tapered parts of the pant legs to showcase the texture of the leather.
The pose is a one-to-one reproduction of the original image: one hand on hip, the other raised high, and the lower leg slightly bent.
The background was painted with stage beams using a splatter brush, instantly bringing the QQ character to life—cute yet stylish.
The whole process was smooth and seamless, with almost no hesitation.
In just 10 minutes, Shu Hua finished the entire picture. Although there were still some flaws in the lines and various details, one could still glimpse the appearance of the refined picture.
Shu Hua held up the tablet. "Take a look, is there anything that needs adjusting?"
【Stars Don't Blink: No! You're my god, Huazai!】
Shu Hua smiled gently, "Okay, I'll refine it after the broadcast and then have the administrator send you the original image."
[Stars Don't Blink: Okay, thank you for drawing!]
Holy crap! This kid's hand speed! Those lines! No matter how many times I look at it, it's still outrageous!
[10 minutes! Just 10 minutes! And a lifelike chibi-style character appeared?! Is that a human hand?! I'm blown away!]
[This can be used directly even without further details!]
[Ahhh, this is amazing! My baby's brushes must be magical! The smoothness, the dynamism, it's incredible!]
[Who can argue with that! The little one's ability to capture the essence of a figure is absolutely amazing; with just a few strokes, he's brought out the soul of the subject! This skill is truly professional!]
[Wait! That blue-purple spiky hairstyle! Those leather pants and sequined jacket! That signature pose! It's Lin Yao! It's Lin Yao, right?! !!! The kid drew Lin Yao!!! ]
[Waaaaah, my little one drew it so well! You captured the essence of Lin Yao's spiky hair perfectly! That head tilt is just like Yao himself!]
[Oh my god! It really is Yao's stage outfit! The way he flicks the tassel is exactly the same!]
[Help! I saw my favorite character in Huazai's livestream! I'm so happy to be a fan of both!!! Huazai's drawing of Yao is so cute and captures his essence perfectly! It's a perfect recreation of his stage performance!]
[Stars Don't Blink: Yes, it's Yaozai. I'll share the pictures to the supertopic later, you can take them yourself, but please indicate the source when reposting!]
Thank you, Europeans, for your support!
Thank you, Sister Xingxing!
As Shu Hua watched the rapidly scrolling screen, seeing the fans' generous praise for her drawing skills and their love for Lin Yao's chibi version, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards, and her eyes sparkled with a sense of satisfaction from being recognized.
Seeing the recognition and love from Lin Yao's fans, Shu Hua's big eyes narrowed halfway, like a lazy cat enjoying being petted.
For an artist, having their artwork appreciated, no matter how many times, is an incredibly joyful experience.
