Description Recently finished watching Hunter X Hunter, waiting for more chapters to come out (Get well soon Togashi Yoshihiro!) and felt like doing some fan art.

Killua is an awesome character, I was sold on him from the moment he ripped the dudes heart out during the exams haha, so here's my version of Godspeed Killua

This is a really great piece of artwork! It is magnificent! I honestly see next to nothing wrong with it!

The shading and lighting is one of the best things about this picture. Not many people can get shading right, and the added lightning effect makes it even harder to get it looking good. You managed to make his hair glow, leaving his shirt bright as well, which many people forget to do. I also love how you shaded his face, making it look all that more realistically appealing.

The lightning as well is great, as I see many people miss the fact that it's a moving thing and should be blurred like you did to show its movement.

Overall this picture is great! I cannot find anything to say against it!

Thank you so much for your kind words If you wanna know more about the shading and lighting techniques, you should check out Dave Rapoza's youtube channel, or Anthony Jones' Gum road (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgr4wM… orΒ gumroad.com/robotpencil ) watching those videos and trying to copy their methods is how I have started to learn

Awesome! Thanks so much! I know I personally have a huge difficulty with shading and lighting. I really liked your drawing though.

Thank you Oh really? I read that he has chronic back pain issues from overworking himself on Yu Yu Hakusho. Maybe he relaxes with games to counter the pain?

Linked-Memories In reply to mattcrossley [2015-09-23 16:43:42 +0000 UTC]

Ye, maybe. He did the same in 2013 and didn't return till 2014 then went on hiatus in like October 2014 again...I am dying to know Hisoka's back story

Ah true? I only just got on the series bandwagon, so I only just found out how frequently it goes on hiatus, lol.

I imagine his backstory involes a 2 mile wide radius that he has to stay clear of all playgrounds hahaha
