Niya and Shirley may be the only ones who are really interested in the cartoon studio that Harvey has temporarily named digini studio. Other painters are confused or somewhat disdainful. They think that painting should not be so vulgar and straightforward. Due to Harvey's high salary, it's hard to say anything, Only a small number of well-known painters can get 5 pieces of gold coins a month in Elroy.
Harvey doesn't care how they feel, and he doesn't mind throwing them out of the house if he can't fulfill his request.
In three days, Harvey created a cartoon segment of "ice and snow" in the evening, and during the day, he stayed in the studio to help the painters draw cartoons. Harvey has finished all the cartoon segments of "ice and snow" with 230 pages of content, which has been checked and modified repeatedly to make sure there is no problem.
In total, digini studio has drawn 15 comics that barely meet Harvey's requirements. Harvey is satisfied with the progress. For example, the most popular type of comics is weekly comics, which has about 20 pages of content every week. However, even the top comic studio configuration of rizhiben may not be as high as Harvey's studio, Top cartoonists may have only four or five assistants, while digini studio has nine members, including Harvey. It is estimated that it will take only two months to create a cartoon version of "ice and snow".
Harvey presented all the painters with a novel of "ice and snow", which is convenient to combine with cartoon creation.

These days are definitely the most comfortable time for Niya since she became a painter. Originally, she grew up in an aristocratic family. Because of her family's decline, she insisted on becoming a painter regardless of her parents' opposition.
A woman who wants to be a professional painter?
In this era, it is estimated that people can laugh off other people's big teeth by saying this sentence. In people's cognition, as long as it is related to art, all industries are not related to women, including music and novels. Maybe novels are not. Modern development has produced many female sex poets and essayists. But a hundred years ago, literature was definitely an art that had no chance with women. Women are more suitable to stay at home, study tailoring, read novels and practice social dancing, so as to please their husbands in the future.
Niya was ridiculed by male painters when she first came to Rodney art street. Fortunately, her resolute appearance moved Fergus, who had just opened a studio and lacked staff. Niya works very hard, and she has a painting foundation. In one year, her painting skills are no worse than her teacher Fergus. Therefore, Fergus often asks her to take on some tasks, which leads to the conflict that Harvey saw.
No matter what nya's works are, as long as she is a woman, her works can not be put on the stage, and will not be affected by those noble businessmen who "like" and "appreciate" art.
For more than a year, Niya has been ridiculed. Even if she passes through Rodley art street, she will be discriminated and criticized by her peers. If it were not for her optimistic nature, she would not have been able to bear it for a long time.
In recent days, the news that Harvey has opened a studio has spread, and the exaggerated salary has been confirmed. For a time, countless painters are envious. Niya is also a big mouth. She proudly shows off the news that she has become a member of the studio, causing a big stir in Rodney art street.
Painters don't understand why a female painter is valued. They think that Harvey's Royal painter Shirley is also a female and then use this excuse to comfort themselves. Niya is valued because of her female identity.
Niya is very satisfied with her work. She can paint with her respected object Shirley. Although she doesn't know what she is painting, she is very happy as long as she can paint.

Early in the morning, Niya trotted to Harvey's house and knew the specific address. It would be too luxurious to take a carriage again. After the housekeeper opened the door, she gasped a little, picked up her skirt, politely disrespected the housekeeper, turned and hummed to the quiet studio, where other painters had arrived and were discussing something.
Shaw Campbell, the painter in charge of drawing the details of comics, said with regret: "I thought it was a big painting, but it turned out it was just a story for children, and Mr. Adrian just said it well."
Stuart Keith, a senior, shook his head and sighed: "yes, I feel very disappointed after reading the novel. The plot is just a fairy tale written for children. It has nothing to do with art at all, and it won't get attention when it is drawn."
Campbell looked at the crowd and said, "by the way, is your novel still there? Mine has been sold
Jennie Taylor, the female painter who painted the background, was surprised: "sold it?"
Campbell sat on the table and held out six fingers mysteriously: "yes, the price is offered."
"Six barons!"
"No, no, no, it's sixty!" Campbell said in an emphatic tone. In a moment, the faces of all the painters on the scene changed. Sixty barons are a lot of money. What can sixty barons do? It can support the daily expenses of ordinary families for at least eight years.
Keith's breath became heavy: "Sixty! Is it really worth so much? "
Campbell was a little proud and said: "yes, it's all Mr. Adrian's novels. Moreover, they haven't been published yet. For those who like Mr. Adrian's works, they have great collection value. As for reading... Ha ha, that kind of fairy tale story doesn't look good. It's estimated that even Mr. Adrian's fans will be disappointed. That's right, Do you want to sell it, too? Now is the only chance. I can help you
The female painter hesitated and shook her head: "this is not good."
Campbell patted his chest and said, "what's wrong? This is a book given to us by Mr. Adrian. It belongs to us. We have the right to rule by law."
Niya came in from the outside. The painters were not very interested in her. They didn't mean to talk to her on this topic. After all, they had been together for several days. Niya is careless and has no cover up. As long as it's not wood, you can see Niya's respectful attitude towards Shirley and enjoy it.
Niya didn't say much after seeing them. Although she despised them for reselling Harvey's novel ice and snow, she didn't comment on it. Her edges and corners were worn down by Rodney art street for a year, and she knew what to do and what not to do.
However, all the painters present may not have thought that this is the studio. They should keep quiet and generally do not let servants near. But it does not mean that Harvey knows nothing about what happened here. After the crisis of Shirley becoming a demon, Harvey has arranged magic circles with different functions in the whole house in order to prevent another event out of his control.
Harvey, who is having breakfast, can clearly hear the dialogue between them, and Harvey won't say anything more. The novel is indeed given to these painters in the name of gift, provided that they can do their job well.
Besides, Harvey decided to exclude the names of these painters from the list. Since these painters are fair, Harvey doesn't need to be polite.
