Description Happy New Year, everyone!

Since Togashi finally revealed a part of Kurapika's past in December, I couldn't help but draw Kurapika and his parents. <3 They were such a cute family! And it was kind of weird to see Kurapika being all sassy and rough while speaking his mother tongue (and using 'ore' instead of 'watashi'), but I loved to know more about him and his brethren.

(I guess my birthday picture from 2012 is now obsolete, lol.)

I made the picture monochromatic because, well, we don't actually know Kurapika's parents' color schemes. Although I suppose Kurapika's mom will be blond with grayish brown eyes, just like her son (since he takes after her).

I can't wait to see the movie!

This chapter was so heartbreaking. Especially Kurapika's mom. It's difficult to comprehend that such a lively woman could die in such a grotesque manner.

This is a neat picture of Kurapika and his parents . . . I do like that they are together, and that there is a happy tone to the picture.

hey, someone used that pic on Facebook, but he/she removed your signature at the top at the left ....Is that ok? ._. He/she wrote the name of his/her page instead....

LauraPaladiknight In reply to marina1agathe [2013-05-09 17:05:44 +0000 UTC]

No, it's not OK. x__x They didn't ask for permission, and even if I gave them permission (which is not the case), they are not allowed to remove my signature out of respect for the artist.

My art has been reposted to Facebook several times without giving me proper credit, but I think this is the first time they actually remove my signature...

the page is [link] but like i said, i didn't find the drawing there :/

I know, i always see your art on Pika's fan album....:/
That's annoying....DX

Looks like this person has not only one of my pictures with my signature removed, but several of them! o_o OMG... This is so disrespectful.

I have replied to all of the stolen pictures I've seen on that page, by the way. It's just so ridiculous.

I don't think they'll listen, but at least I'll have let people know it's stolen. :3

Sure, you can! Although I don't really post anything interesting on Facebook. I use it mostly for college and work.

yeah..
Once this person stole a drawing of my friend, i told him/her to credit, and he/she said it's too long to credit all the artists of the pics he/she upload 0___________0

aww it's ok >w< i'll send the friend request :33 thanks ♥

LauraPaladiknight In reply to marina1agathe [2013-05-09 20:00:34 +0000 UTC]

So they can't take the time to credit the artist but they do take the time to remove the signatures? That's plain nonsense!

Thank you!

Her name hasn't been revealed, so I nicknamed her 'Mamapika.' Some Japanese fans call her 'Pikamama.'

Do you mean updated on the manga? The two chapters covering Kurapika's past have been online since last December (as "Kurapika's Reminiscences," parts 1 and 2), so you can read them online. ^^

Thank you!

His past isn't in the main manga, but in a special volume 0 given to those who went to watch the movie in Japan. It's called "Kurapika's reminiscences" and you can read it here: [link] and here: [link]

My friend really wants to see this. I just told her the story of the special manga and the short plot of the movie and she began to cry a little. And, with the help of saying that a pic like this existed, she cried even more. *sniffs* and then I cried with her...

Awww!
such a beautiful and heart felt piece. Kurapika looked so happy with Mamapika and Papapika. It's too bad Feitan and the others tortured them to death. I wish Togashi drew the massacre. Uvo said that they were strong and that they put up a good fight before they were killed.
I wonder if they show it in the in the movie.

Me voy a tomar tu tiempo viendo tu galería de HxH, es hermosa!
Me encanta tu trabajo *-*, en especial esta imagen. Gracias a ella descubrí lo del one-shot del pasado de Kurapika!
Tengo que decir que me sorprendió también la actitud casi-como-Gon de Kurapika de más pequeño XD, el diseño de su padre lo adoré, y la actitud de la madre xDD!!
¿Alguna vez lo dibujarás con su amigo? Dándote ideas :3.

LauraPaladiknight In reply to Goudachizu [2013-01-13 18:01:01 +0000 UTC]

Ay, ¡muchas gracias!

Kurapika de pequeñín me recordó muchísimo tanto a Gon como a Leorio (por el carácter que tenía y que se enfadaba con mucha facilidad), y el hecho de que se fuese de su aldea para buscar un médico también me hizo relacionarlo con él. ;__;

¿Con Pairo? Por supuesto que lo dibujaré, tenlo por seguro. <3 Tengo un par de ideas en la cabeza, así que a ver cuándo saco tiempo y las dibujo...
