"Hey, Cousin, I'm thinking of posting a comic on Weibo. What do you think?"
Lu Yao was an oil painting major, and most of the professionals she encountered looked down on comics, considering them a frivolous pursuit.
She wanted to achieve financial freedom, but her paintings didn't sell for much. The concept artist field was also incredibly competitive. As only a sophomore, she couldn't keep up with her peers and struggled to land high-paying commissions, so she had to find another way.
She wanted to post a comic online and publish it once she gained some popularity, but she felt like she was doing something wrong and was incredibly uncertain.
"That's a great idea!"
Noticing her lack of confidence, Ni Bingyan praised her without a moment's hesitation.
Then she asked, "Have you drawn some of it? Let me see! I'll be your first reader. I'll give you my honest opinion, good or bad. If it's good, we'll post it online. If it's not, there's no shame in that. What do you say?"
