WeChat Sticker | The Daily Life of A’Wang – Episode Two
Since the first appearance of my sticker “The Daily Life of A’Wang”, it has enjoyed great popularity in downloading and using. I really appreciated your supports and encouragement. In two months of usage, I found that these 24 stickers couldn’t fit the needs of diverse chatting. So in my spare time, I started to create episode two for my sticker. I hid a gem from my previous article if you were heedful enough to notice it. There’s a sticker not belong to the Episode One that was a hint for Episode Two.
继“阿旺的日常”表情包初次亮相以来,获得了很多童鞋的下载和使用,感谢大家的支持和鼓励。2个月的聊天使用过程中,我发现单单这24个表情还远远不够,为此闲暇之余,开始了第二弹的表情设计。细心的朋友们,或许可以发现我在上一期的文章中留了一个彩蛋,最后一幅图的表情在表情包里是没有的,而这一点也预示着可能会有第二部。
It named “The Daily Life of A’Wang | Episode Two”. Compared with my first sticker, the second one may be closer to daily expression. I thought about the frequent words that people usually chat, and combined the unique characteristics of my dog. Then together, they were transformed into another cute sticker in the end.
我将它命名为“阿旺的日常2”。相比处女作,第二部作品或许较为贴近生活用语,更多考虑了大家平时使用的高频词,再融合我爱犬那独一无二的特性,转换为了又一个萌萌的表情包。
My stickers were all designed out of the working hours, or at night. A sticker was born from two or three hours designing. The process of creation was really complicated, including concept brewing, a combination of each design element, analysis of perspective representation and dynamic figures, the ratio of exaggerated expression, etc. After that, retouch was a must before the sticker was ready to be used.
因上班工作原因,表情的创作都在晚上闲暇时候进行,一个表情从传达含义开始设想,到每个设计元素的组合,再到透视动态的分解,以及表情夸张到多大比例等等。最后再对角色进行润色和打磨,使其更加符合表情场景。这一过程往往要精心创作2-3个小时之久,才逐步成型。
As shown in the image above, a sticker was composed of several anchor points, which was connected by Pen Tool and then outlined the figure step by step. I really encouraged you all to create your own artwork instead of copying. For the approval of being published on a sticker gallery, it usually had to wait for 10 working days. However, this time, it took only one day as my sticker was submitted. Probably because of the originality, I thought.
如上图所示,一个表情由多个描点组成,画笔工具一笔笔将各个描点相互连接,一步步将其勾勒描绘成型。在此,我极力鼓励大家想自行设计,就一定要原创。对于微信表情包的审核,虽是10个工作日,但我这次从提交到审核,却用了1天。或许,是因为原创,我的两部作品也均一次通过。
There’s an anther hidden gem in the sticker. After the hours of designing at 1:00 past midnight, I was totally worn-out. The last 24th sticker awaited my pen to fulfill the emptiness, but I was lost at that moment. I lay down on the bed, stretching out my arms and legs while looking at the ceiling. Then an idea came across my mind: “Why not an exhausted expression?”. That’s how the last one was created, which had made a funny closure for my sticker’s Episode Two, I thought.
这里我也藏了一个很深的彩蛋,现在分享一下。第24个表情,原本不知画什么,后来有次周末画到了凌晨1点多,身心疲惫。瘫倒在床上,伸展四肢看着天花板,就这么突然灵感找到了我:“为何不画劳累的场景呢?”。于是乎,“累了”这一表情孕育而出。从而为这第二弹的表情包,画上了一个诙谐的句号。
For more details of how I created the stickers, feel free to read my previous article ” Sticker | The Daily Life of A’Wang”. I hope you love my Sticker Episode One & Episode Two. Enjoy downloading and chatting with friends and families with my stickers. Maybe, some other time, there will be Episode Three.
