We will talk about creators of the past and present.
It wasn't that long ago, but so-called SNS,
Illustration SNS such as the old TwitterX and Pixiv.
The situation has changed considerably between before and after it
became popular, so I will talk about that at the end. Let me do it.
SNS is mainstream even before it has become widespread.
Regarding this, I started working on this after SNS became popular,
so Comprehending stories from my seniors and colleagues, etc.
What used to look like this is now like
this I'll just tell you something like this.
Regarding this, we simply received a request from a company, and in
response, the creator will sign a contract and deliver the product.
After delivery, if there is no problem with the product, we will ask you
to write an invoice for it. Companies ask creators to write invoices,
It looks like money will be transferred to it I think it was pretty mainstream.
For example, if you are a manga artist, how
many pages of the manga are you looking for? A
manuscript fee is paid for one page, and if a book
is published, royalties for that book are paid.
If you're an illustrator, you might be able to do something like this for each
illustration. There was something that I wanted
you to write about, and I understood that.
There were several revisions, etc., and I was asked to
transfer the money I had originally proposed. is not it.
This still exists today, but as SNS began to spread, creators have
become more Try your best to appeal and have the company find you.
As for him, if it's a manga, he'll try submitting
the manuscript. If you are an illustrator
I'm already active elsewhere, He was like, "What do
companies do when they see a book after it's published?"
The hurdles are really high when it comes to penetration
manga here, and only some people want to work
on it. I think there was a time when this was not
possible, but now that it has started to spread,
I think this is another big story.
In fact, PIXIV used to have something like a ranking, although it's not that big these
days. So, it was displayed as big on the top page, on the right side of the page.
If you take advantage of this, companies may look at this and make
requests. So, everyone was really excited to get on the rankings.
I think there are many people who actually got a job doing this.
Until now, creators had to work hard to appeal to companies, This
is how SNS started appearing, and after this, Twitter also appeared.
I've seen an increase in the number of people applying for and
requesting works after seeing pictures that are going viral. I did.
This is very easy to understand, Appeals that I had to make before
It is a great advantage that individuals can
easily advertise using large social media. I will.
When it comes to whether the situation is conducive
for creators to flourish, After all, it was already
10 years ago, and if you go further back around
here, it's a time when I haven't started drawing yet.
20 years ago, all of this is as of 2024, Compared to these
days, there are so many different ways to appeal these days,
I think it's much easier to eat.
This PIXIV, the form of receiving corporate projects at PIXIV 10 years ago has become
quite mainstream. After that, furthermore,
although this hasn't been the case recently,
There are a huge number of so-called social games, There
was a time when a huge number of people seemed to disappear.
So, I started drawing illustrations using submari
for about 50,000 yen or 100,000 yen each. There
was a time when we received a large number of
orders for products that could not be completed.
I think it was probably around 2016, as far as I can remember.
There are quite a few things like this before and after here,
Some people became illustrators after this
experience. I think he might be saying that.
Around 2016, social games became so popular that we had to make a lot of
them. So, there was a story that he was calling out from the other end.
Some people have received corporate projects around here because of
this, I think there are some people around here who are independent.
But this has also slowed down a bit, probably around 2018 to 2019.
I post illustrations and comics on Twitter, and companies see them and make
requests. In 2019, we were asked if we would like to turn the manga into a book.
But here too, it seems like they're going to
turn a manga that went viral on Twitter into
a book. It's so popular that there are many
people who made their debut as writers here.
What it looks like now is that it has become possible to do so
many different things. This was around 2018, but PIXIV, FANBOX,
I think it was mentioned a while ago, but PATRON and all this really started
happening in 2018. I was able to get it as a leprosy, but now I can get subscriptions.
More and more people are making money here. In fact, there
are quite a lot of people who are already molding it.
What I'm trying to say is, this, what I said earlier, this kind of buzz on
Twitter, etc. Any method is fine, but now you can earn money in a variety of ways.
However, there are some industries where
this momentum is slowing down. Since it's an
e-book, I've been reading it over and over again, and I haven't done it very often.
You can make your own books into e-books on Kindle, Indeed, etc. and have them read
them. It seems like money will be
distributed depending on the number of views.
I wouldn't use it that way, but it's outsourcing.
I've been asked to make materials on outsourcing sites, or to have them made.
There are some small details, and I feel like I've really mastered them.
I think what's good about it is that it's really easy to eat.
than here.
I would like to find out which one of these is suitable for me. I think there
are quite a few people who talk to other people when looking for something.
To be honest, I don't really like to ask people
about this way of eating. I don't recommend it.
The reason is, as I've said in many passages, people's
successful experiences are reproducible. It's very low.
I'm actually here now.
As for where you can eat it, it's here, but since
Bikshibu started opening, it's been ranked around
here. Since Ng posted some good things, I received
a corporate project from here and started.
However, this situation is completely different, and
even if I try to do this now, it won't work. is not it.
When people talk about things other than their
own experiences, they tend to talk about things
like the sky above their desks. I can only talk
about this because I have experienced it all.
However, a little bit about Kindle Indies
and announcement sourcing. That's suspicious.
It's okay to be suspicious, but I can only tell you that something like that
exists. I'm talking about it this time, but if you ask individual creators about it,
I can't help but talk about my own success stories, so
for example, this may sound a little harsh, but... When I
talk about how I'm glad I've been doing this for quite some
time, for example, this is the only thing he's ever done.
So, when you hear stories like this, some people may
find them a bit ambiguous or dislike them. There you are.
There are some people who don't like this
kind of subschool site, so When you listen to
that person's story, you may hear something
that makes you think that nothing else is good.
On the other hand, if you talk to people who only
do this, they'll say, no, they're done with the
company. It's extremely difficult because people
tend to say things that have no basis in fact.
So if you want to listen, you have the option
of asking multiple people or not. I think.
I'm a little biased when I'm listening to the silence,
but Anyway, I know that he has a site like this, so
Just look at the site's terms and conditions without
asking anyone. I think the easiest way is to try and see.
I believe that if you try something and find something that feels
good, just keep rubbing it hard and things will work out. is.
You can do whatever you can, It's not one of
these, but TikTok is also good, for example.
YouTube is also fine, but The advantage of being able
to draw is extremely difficult to gain as a mainstream.
For example, a car can be purchased for, say, 1 million yen,
right? If you make a product. There are various parts to make this.
I think having someone buy an illustration alone is a little different than having
someone buy a car. I think illustrations are equivalent to the body of a car.
That's why I think it's a little difficult
for an illustration alone to become a product.
For example, I got a poster job.
Many people think of this as a product, but this is completely different.
What is a poster? For example, an advertisement for a musician's concert.
There is some other medium, and there are posters to promote it, so
It is true that there is work for posters alone, but it is
not possible to sell posters as a product. That's right.
So what I'm trying to say is that illustrations are just parts and materials.
That's not to say that I don't use it lightly, but it's just that I use the
main parts of the various parts and materials here. I think it can be done.
For example, when it comes to cars, the exterior design is extremely important.
So it could be the body, or if it's not good enough, it could be the engine.
People who buy cars don't just buy the body or just the engine, do they?
Of course, if you are an enthusiast or just want to keep
this part or just want to buy the body, you might buy it.
However, since there are few people who buy this alone,
it is only when it becomes a car that you can make money.
Since the illustration shows the body and engine, it cannot be
treated as a single car. First of all, let me say that you can't.
What to eat after that, for example, a YouTuber who can draw illustrations. If you
could draw illustrations and create stories,
this would be a manga. Manga, anime, etc.
If you can move it, it becomes an anime.
It's a little difficult to use as an illustration
alone, but when you try to do something derived from
this, it gives you tremendous power. I think the
illustration shows the part of the engine that performs.
That's why some people who don't do well focus on illustrations a little
too much, I think that's a little difficult for the world to accept.
If you focus too much on it, there's no way to go beyond that, so I'm really good at
it. This time I can draw some illustrations,
but I don't sell the illustrations alone.
For example, with the Colossode coater this time, we added further explanations on the
premise that you can draw illustrations and
made it into a product. That's why there is.
In this case.
It's quite difficult to sell illustrations. Of course some people are selling it.
The reason is that he is quite good at it and has a lot of name recognition,
but that's just illustrations plus name recognition. That's right.
in the end.
For people who started drawing from
illustrations, no matter how good they get at this
part, they are always lacking in this part.
So, the fan box stuff that famous people do,
For example, even if you imitate something like PSG5, it may not work out very well.
If you are conscious of that, So, the
question is, how can I sell my illustrations?
I kind of understand that if you just draw illustrations,
you won't be as good at it. I think that's why he came.
So after you get good at it, what should you
do? After you get good at it, it's a little
difficult to do just this. It's the main dish
that I mentioned earlier that is difficult to eat.
As for cooking as a whole, it is a difficult
tool to sell on its own. The illustration
is. I think these are three videos, but I think they are an extension of words.
When you want to express what's in your head, you
use words, right? Talking and stuff like this.
Illustrations are the same way, they visualize what
you have in your head that you think is good. I
think it would be very easy to understand if you use
it as a tool to communicate more clearly than words.
But, that's why it's quite difficult to sell tools. say something using tools
It's about creating your own worldview and what you want to do, which you
wouldn't be able to create at all, and then selling it. It will take shape.
Instead of selling this place, you can sell it by selling what you made here.
I think you should be a little more aware of that.
This method has become possible for individuals due to the spread
of SNS, Yusshin videos, I think it's the current illustrator.
Of course, people could have done it before it spread,
but companies did everything here and there. is not it.
Until now, publishers.
If you can do this part yourself, even in the world of penetration,
you can sell what you want to create to others. can do.
What I want to say is that I will summarize it in the end,
but I would like to talk about the amount of time I have spent
on sales at my company. It all depends on the individual, and
it's also influenced by birth, how much money they have, etc.
I think the sense of equality has improved tremendously.
If anyone can get excited and get recognition for what they've created,
people will see it all at once. Or maybe I could get some money.
There are people who no longer use TikTok, YouTube, X, and other
SNS. If so, I would like you to just create an account now.
It's a loss if you don't do it.
This method is perfectly fine, but it's better to have more options, so
This is a popular method using SNS. Plus, some people might want to do this.
I think there are some people who would like
to receive a big request from a company.
In such cases, the company must carefully research the kind of people it wants.
We will continue these activities and create a system where you can receive
both. I think that's a good thing because it increases your chances.
Maybe you're fixated on this one, or only on this
one, I think there are some people who just ignore me.
If possible, you can approach both by drawing
a single picture that allows you to have
both. It's possible, so I think you should try
your best to kill two birds with one stone.
Above, I will talk about the topic of current and past creators,
and how it is a loss if you do not use SNS. Then we were.
thank you.
Next, I will give a lecture on generalization.
This concludes our lecture on the changes in creators of the past and present.
thank you very much.
