What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Chapter 112 Wood Carving

After three o'clock in the morning, it was pitch black outside, and the light was still on in Xiang Kun's bedroom.

Under a lamp, Xiang Kunzheng slowly and carefully polished a wooden sculpture more than 20 centimeters high with fine sandpaper.

It was a female humanoid wood sculpture, wearing a skirt armor with a two-dimensional style, with a large two-handed sword pestle, looking forward, and there was a dull hair on the head. From the overall image, it should be a Cartoon characters.

This is a wood carving of a character carved by Xiang Kun himself from beginning to end.

Today is October 3rd, and tomorrow, October 4th, is Tang Baona's birthday. This wooden sculpture is Xiang Kun's birthday present to give her.

On September 13, after receiving the "misunderstanding birthday present" compound bow from Tang Baona and the others, Xiang Kun began to think about how to return the gift.

Then he obtained the birthday time of the three of them through some of their network information, as well as the driver's license and other document information that he had seen accidentally before.

Yang Zhen'er January 3 and Xia Libing's April, both of which are still very early.Only Tang Baona has her birthday on October 4th, which will be arriving soon.

His original idea was to give a gift with a budget of about two or three thousand. So based on his usual observations and the information left by Tang Baona’s various online accounts, he analyzed it and speculated that she might like it. gift.

The final options are: 1. Figures or other animation peripherals that Tang Baona likes; 2. Audio recording equipment; 3. Some design trinkets or small ornaments; 4. Music-related peripherals or her favorite out of print Album.

But the problem is, from Xiang Kun’s understanding, although Tang Baona is not the kind of person who spends money lavishly, she does not lack money. The options 1, 2, and 4, if she likes them, basically They had already bought them last morning, and she had chosen them by herself, which must be more agreeable.

In this way, it seems that only a small accessory that looks more compatible with her usual dressing style, or a small ornament with a sense of design, is a safer option.

He also asked Yang Zhen'er and Xia Libing privately. The former expressed his intentions. It didn't matter what to send, and Nana didn't need anything. Just make a big meal at that time.

And Xia Libing's reply was similar to the last time she investigated the taste: "Whatever you want, she doesn't pick it."

Indeed, Xiang Kun knows that no matter what she sends, Tang Baona shouldn't mind, that is, if she sends a hand-made or peripheral product that she actually already has or doesn't like that much, she should also gladly accept it.

However, thinking of how he felt when he received the compound bow as a gift before, this "casual" always made him a little uncomfortable.He knows very well that the value of a gift is not only the price in the market, but also depends on how much the recipient likes the gift.

So after pondering for a while, Xiang Kun prepared to personally make a wood carving of Tang Baona's favorite anime character Saber Altolia, who was used as an avatar.

And this production process itself is also the process of several trial experiments, which has the best of both worlds.

Of course, in order to avoid that he could not make the wood carving on October 4th, he also prepared an alternative PlanB. If it is not enough, he will send a Swarovski crystal ornament that he thinks Tang Baona would like. gift.

Xiang Kun has a certain degree of artistic skills. It is not a big problem to draw a bottle, draw a personal face sketch or something, but this does not mean that he knows how to sculpt.

However, it is precisely because of this that he wants to test whether establishing a super-sense connection with tools can help him master the ability to use tools more quickly.

So before drinking blood on September 16, he bought five different carving knives and three chisels, and made connections.

In order to successfully associate, he specially disassembled the bodies and handles of these tools, and reinstalled them after completing the association.And he also found that after the items of the same type and function are associated with one of them, the time for the other items will be reduced a lot.

After waking up on the night of September 17, Xiang Kun first quickly watched various tutorials and videos for more than ten hours, and then found a 3d figure of a saber character as a reference, and began to compare the prepared and roughly shaped ones. Block practice wood for carving.

Although the chisel and carving knife that have established a connection, they are indeed close to the proficiency of an insider, and he can steadily apply what he has learned in the tutorials and videos, and his hands move with his heart.

But the first four pieces of wood were still chipped away before entering the billet. Not to mention the dull hair on the top of the head and the two-handed sword with the pestle on the base, it is difficult to make it even with the arms alone. Crooked or broken.

For the fifth piece of wood, Xiang Kun made a semi-finished semi-finished product with the purpose of first producing a finished product to see its shortcomings. However, looking at the wood carving with a crooked mouth and an out-of-proportion, he couldn't help thinking of looking for a reference picture before When I saw the "Cthulhu Saber" on the Internet...

From the experimental results, after simply contacting the tools, you can only control and master the tools, but when it comes to other application variables, you still need to adapt and practice to develop your due ability.

It can also be inferred from this that if he can fully establish contact with all parts of a car in the future, then he may have a good understanding of the car's condition, and he can also be able to use his fingers when driving.But if you run to race with others, you still need to understand the specific road conditions, the route of the track, the opponent's situation, the weather conditions during the race, and other information in order to fully develop your driving ability.

Now, although he is very proficient in chisel control and knife manipulation, he still has some problems with his familiarity with the material of wood and the mastery of the contour.

Xiang Kun knows that if he has practiced a lot, he should start with simple and easy works if he is able to manipulate a few chisels and carving knives. It should not take long to make progress.

But his goal is not to become a woodcarver master, so he temporarily stopped the production of woodcarving. After all, he has to do a lot in each blood drinking period, not just learning to carve and prepare gifts.

Before the blood drinking on September 22, Xiang Kun spent an hour establishing contact with two boxes of boxwood that he bought back and had been simply opened.

Before starting to establish contact, he first took a small sample from the two pieces of wood, then softened, sliced, dyed, and mounted, and observed under a microscope to understand the onlooker structure of the two pieces of wood.

He has done experiments with paper towels, A4 paper and other things before. In addition to understanding the weight, size, composition and other information, it can increase the speed of establishing contact, and observing the onlooker structure of the target object can also greatly increase the speed and success rate.

Xiang Kun intends that if the two boxwoods that have established a connection are made again, he can only use PlanB to give away the crystal ornaments, otherwise he will really become an engraver...

Fortunately, when he woke up on September 23, he spent more than ten hours making a piece of wood, and the second piece of wood finally basically reached his expectation, step by step to complete the finished product.

The carving knife with which he established a super-sense connection works on the wood that has established a super-sense connection. It really needs to be more comfortable and stable, just like the communication between two old friends, “cooperate” skillfully.

In fact, on September 27th, he had already finished the finished wood carving.

But today, he just took it out again, checked it again, did some fine sanding and then oiled it, so that the whole wood carving was in the best condition.

Although from his slightly obsessive-compulsive perspective, this woodcarving still has many areas for improvement, and there are still many flaws, as the first work, it is basically qualified.

Before dawn, Xiang Kun picked up a cell phone that was covered with scratches and a cracked screen, and saw him and Tang Baona among the four people. Tang Baona said that he was already at the airport and could be in the city by 10 o’clock this evening. .

Xiang Kun actually planned to invite Tang Baona and Yang Zhener to have a meal in advance tonight, cook some newly developed dishes, and then give her gifts by the way.However, Tang Baona's family has gone abroad to attend a relative's wedding these days, and can't come back tonight, so she can only find a chance to give her tomorrow.
