The following m tinued with a detailed study of the first title of Shaman King. After all, fog on work is always one of the best options to sider. He wants to edit some small ses to reinforce the story with more logical tinuity from the beginning to the end of the series. Stories are typically not fully detailed and sometimes tend to fill iaps with some follow-ups that may make sense as the story progresses, but it's irely harmonious, and plot holes emerge.
The pany's main series are Sm Dunk, Yu Yu Hakusho/Ghost Files, Evangelion, Rurouni Kenshin, and now Shaman King. The test story will be published once a month, and there are already 23 volumes for the fourteen months, in which several ongoing storylines will clude.
He hears the loud sound of the meeti door. Jim Lee and his team are starting on the WildCats story, and it will be finished by the end of this year or the . The life of ic book artists is almost a life of semi-annual or annual payments that team members receive ohe project is pleted. ipaypically pay their employees, but they keep the cht and give people a share of the profits.
However, some freencers work without a fixed sary, but they have better cht agreements and pertages. Only the big authors and some lucky ones work uhis model. For example, Dark Horse ics usually operates uhis model, but they distribute the profits fairly, or as much as possible, and be from issioning series to freencers.
Billy just has to edit this title while Terry finishes his work in the ing months. This small detail has saved almost four hours of his time per title, enough to draw aire sketch. He will be in charge of editing this new series, Shaman King, along with Ghost Files. Billy left his office to py some video games but found Raimon pying Samurai Ja the game room and remembered the versation with his father. He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice Billy's presence. He saw that he was in part 3 of the game, Aku's Eternal Hell, with only two more parts to go: the city of the year 4000 and the a era.
-Raimon, - Billy said, startling him, but Raimo his eyes fixed on the sole; the game was gloriously crafted.
-Ahh, Billy, what a surprise to see you, - Raimon said, still not looking away from the s.
-I see you've been pying up to the third part. Why don't you go to the bcksmith to improve the sharpness of your sword so you break the steel at the boss's entrance? - Billy suggested.
-How do you know that? - Raimon said, surprised. He left the s and looked acgly at Billy.
-I created the game, I have all the knowledge in my head, - Billy said, pointing at his head.
-That expins everything. Only you would create such a devilishly plicated game. I've been w on it for a month, but it's difficult, it has plexities that I still don't uand. It's made me think too much, and I'm not as good as my friends at video games,-- Raimon said, approag Billy's legs and hugging them. -- No one wao tell me how to pass the levels, and my friends had already fihe game and made fun of me. Help me finish it, Billy," he pleaded.
-I'll help you, but there aren't many difficult things after you upgrade your sword. In part four, you have to look for the Teological Master's guide. I'll help you get into the tral building, but you also search for the sedary mission in part 3, where you travel through Tartarus to Gray Isnd, paying five copper s. There, you'll find the swordmaster from eras who died fighting Aku; he'll teach you the charged id strike, - Billy expined.
-Wait, I only have three copper s. Where I get the other copper s? - Raimon asked.
-You'll have to defeat the final boss first; the copper s will be scattered in the arena, just like in parts 1 and 2. Stay ohird floor and plete the side missions, - Billy replied.
-Great, I'll do my best,- Raimon said with renewed energy. "By the way, all my friends have given you appuse for yame. They say it's the game of the year. For me, it's been amazing too. I hope you take it to the August i in Chicago. I'm sure many people would love to buy some special toys.
-It's good to know. ging the subject, I have to go to a meeting with some friends. you give me a ride? - Billy asked.
-Of course! I'll take you. Now that you've givehe key hints to solve the game, I only repay my debt by taking you to that special meeting. It's a nice way to cover up the fact that yoing to a party without your dad's knowledge. Raimon always gets into trouble because of others, - Raimon said.
-He's aware of it. I just hope you get ready in an hour; I have to arrive early, after all, - Billy said.
-I'm ready already; I finished w about two ho. I stayed here because I wao py some Samurai Jack, - Raimon said, getting up and grabbing a bag of gummy bear dies from his backpack. He started eating them while looking at Billy.
-Do you want some gummy bears? - Raimon asked.
-No, - Billy replied.
-Raimon, do you have any smart friends whood at programming? - Billy inquired.
-Sure, I know two or three guys, but they all have jobs. It won't be easy for them to quit their current jobs. However, you go to Stanford and hang around the hallways. If you have some cash and a few beers, anyone will work the night shift, - Raimon suggested, mung on gummies.
-I see. See you in an hour. I hope you've sharpened your sword for when I arrive. The final boss of this level is quite challenging to defeat, - Billy said.
-Everything's ready; I'll do my best, - Raimon replied, exaggerating his gestures and perf a dahat even the '80s had fotten.
Billy walked over to his workstation. Anne was busy and didn't pay him much attention. He tinued polishing and fiuning the Shaman King ilike the inal, he ged certain aspects. For example, the protagonist of the series is Irish, and his family lives in Irend. Instead of being thirteen years old, he's sixteen, three years older than shown in the inal work. He modified some dialogues that needed better development, and voilà, the installment was ready.
The meeti door seemed to have ended. Billy colored some ses, pleting about 80% of the c work. The remaining 20% involved mixing with bd white or blurring to work faster and avoid plications in the printing process, whietimes struggled with colors like gray, brown, and skin tones due to their varying shades.
Billy fihe st page of the first volume, and it took much less time than expected. He got up from his seat, wearing a bright red shirt, a ret purchase reended by his grandfather to keep up with the modern style of the time.
-Anne, I'm going to a meeting, - Billy said.
-Sure, before you go, you talk to your fellow artists about the pany's rules? They've been here for almost a month, and they haven't followed any of the rules I mentioned from the beginning. Ihey e here at your request, but above all, you're doing them a favor. They don't pay rent, produics at no cost, aill owe them a favor, - Anne said angrily.
The csh between Anne and the new artists had been dangerous. Jim Lee, a hardw but undoubtedly disorderly and stubborn person, sometimes used the industrial prio print volumes that had nothing to do with his drawings or the pany's work. His team was noisy, and the use of loud musietimes got on Anne's hey slept in the office, ate in the office, and didn't make sure to up properly.
Anne was reag her limit, knowing that this could only lead to problems. Billy went straight to the artists' room. It's better to do this now.
-Jim, Brandon, Terry. Good m, - Billy greeted the artists, who were pletely focused on their work. The room was cluttered with papers, and there was a timeliaped to the wall for referehere were two timelines, one for Spider-Man and another for WildCats.
-Billy Carson, are you leaving already? - Brandon Choi asked cheerfully from a long, tilted table.
-That's right, I've fihe ics for the summer season. The few days will be for updating the deliveries of the new seasons of our main series, - Billy said.
-Amazing. None of us work as quickly and effitly as you, - Brandon Choi remarked, casting acg g his team, who seemed to have signifit issues meeting deadlines.
-Well, everyo their own pace. I wao let you know that Anne has set aside a mae for you to use, especially if you want to print ics. As long as you do it on demand. There are some special maes, and if they're not handled carefully, they result in damage,- Billy expined.
-I don't uand the reason, - Jim Lee said.
Despite the damage, Billy thought.
-Well, it's in the past now. You damaged a mae ten days ago. The repair cost 20,000, and it halted produ for two days. If we sider the costs that had to be bor was 23,000, including employee wages, lost workdays, and mae repairs, - Billy said.
Jim Lee's look of astonishment was evident. - I apologize; I'll cover the expenses, - Jim Lee said.
-It's not necessary. Just follow the protocol. You print anything you want, but if you want to print, you must talk to the Ieneral, Dave. He'll print everything you desire, but if you only want to print something o's much cheaper to buy the i the store. It's 40 cheaper. But you do it knowing these details. Anne says that room ing services are on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so in the meantime, you use a trash bag. Lastly, I'll decide to have the room soundproofed so you turn up your music at a higher volume. Just try not to disturb the administrative departments in the meantime, - Billy expined, going over the list of tasks that Anne had provided for discussing with the new residents of Lux ics.
-We'll follow ygestions with the utmost care. We're used t at Terry's house, which might cause some issues in this work enviro, - Brandon Choi said, fully aware of the implications of everything that had happened.
-Yes, don't worry, - Terry chimed in, holding Jim Lee's head. "We'll do our best to curb Jim's annoying behaviors. I'll be staying until hursday, so tomorrow I'll focus on fiuning your ics. I've already reviewed the work for ten ics that are waiting for me."
Terry lived in Los Angeles with his wife. For now, he would travel between San Jose and California for two weeks every two months. He only came to review the new workspad see what kind of editing Billy needed.
-I hope it won't be a problem, - Billy said.
-Not at all. It's just a matter of fixing some lettering, adjusting the colors a bit, and refining the drawings, -- Terry expined. -- I'll be done in a week. -
-I'll leave you to it. I hope you have a productive day, - Billy said.
Billy left the room and gave Anne a nod from the doorway. She responded with an angry gesture. She was entirely right to be upset with the new residents, but they were necessary for his pns. His es with Jim Lee were valuable, even though he knew he was being used. Once Jim Lee had more money, he would seek to create his own pany and likely fail miserably. Billy would buy the WildCats series without remorse. The idustry had beore petitive since he e, and for all ic creators, their work had beore challenging. This could be seen in the displeasure of some fans, such as with Mike Migno's Hellboy series, which didn't meet aesthetic standards but had an incredible storyline.
This was a demand from the Ameri audience fher visual quality, stroorytelling, and sisten delivery. Additionally, there was a rge produ of series. Billy had published a total of 14 series and nearly 250 volumes indepely. This had caused saturation among small ipanies, as oablished groups or excellent stories had mao thrive in a more fiercely petitive ndscape since Billy's arrival.
