Soul Painter

The skill of 'concentration', although ordinary, is indeed a master skill of Gao Fan.

It can also be called 'imitation', or 'control'. The former means that Gao Fan can use it to imitate the style of any senior master, reaching a 99.99% similarity, and with the improvement of his skill value, this kind of There is no limit to imitation.

But imitation is worthless and worthless.

A master technique should not take imitation as its main connotation.

This involves the essence of this 'imitation', which is actually 'control'.

Gao Fan accurately understands the style, habits, and characteristics of the target. This "target" includes paintings, including human beings, or creatures, or objects. He can even perceive the distribution of every line and every color particle The ultimate 'focus' to make his works infinitely similar to the target.

Sounds like hyperrealism.

But Gao Fan is not a believer in hyper-realism. His current creative style has returned to modernism, which is similar to Degas's later period in terms of technique, but different in temperament. Degas is gorgeous, while Gao Fan is ordinary.

Ordinary means mediocre, soulless. Of course, the temperament of the works is not the biggest feature of Gao Fan's "focus".

The biggest feature of 'concentration' lies in: the form of expression.

Gao Fan achieves a kind of "similarity" that is "extremely dissimilar" through his extreme mastery of the pictures in his works.

This is the expression form of 'concentration', through the detailed observation of the target, through the complete control of a work, with the improvement of skills, between 'like' and 'unlike', what he wants the audience to see, What the audience can see.

There is no way to inject temperament and soul into the painting.

Gao Fan made his paintings a mirror of temperament and soul.

Copy Degas.

Not to study Degas.

But to achieve Gao Fan himself.

...

Finished painting the portrait of Anna.

Gao Fan's 'Focus' has increased by 1 point, it is now '2/100', and there is a '+' sign behind it, which means that it can be improved with SAN value.

A painting increases 1 skill point.

This is a pleasant feeling that has never been experienced in the 'distortion' and 'world'.

And when using 'concentration' to create paintings, it feels... How should I put it, Gao Fan feels like using his own hands and feet instead of external tools. Sure enough, this is completely his technique.

It's unremarkable, but comfortable.

As for using SAN value to improve...?

"I don't want it anymore..." Gao Fan felt that this skill was very precious, he had comprehended it himself, and he didn't want to pollute it with mystery.

But thinking about it the other way around, the skills that have appeared on the system panel have long been mysteriously polluted, right?

Facing his empty studio, Gao Fan fell into a kind of philosophical speculation.

...

The sun has set.

The golden spots of the setting sun gradually moving down in the studio made Gao Fan's eyes follow him involuntarily.

Philosophical speculation brings only one practical result.

Gao Fan muttered to himself:

"Actually, I can copy myself, or in other words, the appearance of concentration is for me to copy myself..."

"If I focus on myself, it is an auxiliary control technique. I can copy my immature mysterious technique and reduce the pollution in the painting..."

"Let me control the mystery in my brush, so that it doesn't show all, but only a little bit..."

He has to try.

Gao Fan opened a new page on the drawing board, faced the wall, and began to paint with his cursed 'world' technique as he did a year ago.

'World' is used to draw scenery, and 'Distortion' is used to draw creatures.

A year ago, such a creation would have had a mysterious gate on that wall.

That may not be a bronze door.

It can also be an entrance to the abyss.

or other.

It depends on who the great existence that Gao Fan linked from "Curse of the Gods" is.

Such links are completely random.

That is to say, once Gao Fan uses the mysterious technique, every moment, it is like playing a lottery on a turntable to draw a great existence. If it is other human beings, or even investigators, it may only be enough to play once in a lifetime, and Gao Fan is a battle With the blessing of the silver key, not only has he survived to this day, but he can also create a new record of death.

This time, in Gao Fan's works, there was only a faint light on the wall. The light was like an elf in the forest, lighting up on the wall, and it was like a hazy crescent moon. It was very strange. , so beautiful, so beautiful that I can't help but want you to touch it.

Of course, Gao Fan would not touch it.

He threw a paintbrush against the wall.

Click!

At this moment, the ball of light suddenly turned into a sharp mouth, biting the paintbrush to pieces.

Just its camouflage, when it puts away the camouflage and flips the inner flesh outward, it is a mouth with sharp teeth.

But it's small, like a mouse screaming and biting silently at the wall.

Hey……

When the paintbrush was bitten into pieces.

Gao Fan was taken aback, but he clearly realized it.

This time is different.

This time he used 'concentration' to control the 'world'. Although the skill of 'focus' was not high enough to accurately control the mystery released by the 'world' skill, he controlled it according to the smallest and smallest range.

So the 'world' summoned the smallest... mysterious portal?

A tiny little portal of light.

If the 'concentration' skill continues to improve, he should be able to control the mysterious quantity in his pen, and control the effective scale of the curse of the gods, right?

Then isn't this... the Command Seal?

Gao Fan frowned and pondered.

And at this time, because he didn't destroy his drawing paper immediately, that'ritual'.

On the opposite wall, 'light' began to spread outward.

The 'light' is in the form of flowing water and has two sides, one side is light, and the other side has countless red mouths and white teeth, like a layer of artificial turf in a strange shape.

Such a wonderful 'light' began to pour out from the wall, to Gao Fan's feet, to the easel, and then ate the support rod of the easel. With a 'bang', the drawing board fell to the ground.

'Light' seems to know that this is its ritual, and it is going to run back while grabbing this drawing board. What will happen once it takes its own ritual?

"stop!"

Gao Fan was awakened immediately, he immediately stepped on the drawing paper that was being moved by the 'light', took out the lighter and threw it on the drawing paper.

Ow!

At present, it is just like a pot of water poured on the ground, and the amount of 'light' suddenly turned itself upside down, turning into a weird 'turf' full of big red mouths and white sharp teeth that can collapse patients with intensive phobias , biting Gao Fan's sneakers in a hurry, Gao Fan pulled his feet violently, but the soles of his feet had already seen the cold, and the soles of the shoes were gnawed off. He lifted his feet, surprised and then backed away.

The flame burned the drawing paper.

The 'lights' rolled around but couldn't stop the ritual that summoned them from being destroyed.

As the drawing paper was burned and the ceremony was destroyed, the 'lights' gushing out from the drawing paper and the wall disappeared into the air bit by bit. Gao Fan didn't dare to imagine what kind of creatures there would be at the gate.

The only thing that is certain is.

'Focus' can really control the amount of pollution that mysterious techniques flow on the painting.

Otherwise, the pollution that has been summoned, the pollution that has already taken shape, will not be so small in scale.

Thinking of this, Gao Fan suddenly had a terrifying thought.

This is very likely that the silver key is playing tricks!

If Gao Fan doesn't actively solve the problem of the gods' curse, the silver key will give him a technique to control the extent of pollution!
