Description Introducing our cross-dressing assassin-slash-Genei Ryodan member #4, who is usually mistaken as a girl, Kalluto Zoldyck, from Togashi Yoshihiro's Hunter x Hunter. ♥

First things first: No matter what Kalluto's appearance may be, he's definitely a 'he'. ^^

When Kalluto showed up, he looked so creepy and mysterious, staring at Kil with unknown intentions (jealousy?) when Kil went to go with Gon and co. He is mostly shown tagging along with his mother Kikyo, or Illu-nii. Later on in the series, he joined Genei Ryodan and became Hisoka's replacement, though it is unknown who exactly recruited him. I remember Kil mentioning that Silva told them to steer clear of Ryodan or something like that. I was kinda pissed though, when Hisoka viewed him as "delicious" within Machi's earshot (Greed Island Final). No wonder Machi doesn't take his advances seriously (Hisoka's such a player and a pedophile!). ><

I had a lot of fun drawing Kalluto. She's easy to draw, and I find her similarity to Tomoe Hotaru (Sailor Saturn from Takeuchi Naoko's Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) amusing (Yes, I know Togashi-sensei patterned Kalluto after her). ^^

I started with the rough shapes first, then moved on to the face and hair. Afterwards, I've worked my way down to his elegant kimono. But then, my pace slowed down due to the kimono design (My reference photo is quite small and blurred, so I just drew some random design for her obi (sash). As for the maemigoro, I went by the original design though it's pretty hard cause it's an abstract one in my reference photo. ><

Anyway, I'm pretty glad of the outcome of this one. I might be drawing Kalluto-kun sometime again in the future. ^^

Yup! Read it from wikia. Haha! ^^

Thank you! The only ones I'm missing are Kikyo and Alluka (but I won't be drawing the latter yet cause I only base my drawings on the 1999 anime). ^^

Virtual hug~ ♥

Oh, i know you'll like drawing Allu!! I know it!! I on the other hand already finished the manga, but not the anime.. it takes my precious time.. and it's too fast to appreciate the art..

Hugs back...

Alluka does look cute, judging by the photos I've been seeing scattered all over the web. ^^

The manga is still ongoing, right? I was so impressed by the anime drawing that when I finished Greed Island Final, I thought of reading the manga cause I was anxious to know what happened next (I actually thought Gon finally met Ging, but it turned out to be Kite), but when I saw the manga art, I was disappointed. The characters looked more mature and handsome in the 1999 anime (I dislike the 2011 version drawings - the character design doesn't look appealing to me at all).

Since Allu's the main star in this arc now..

Well, yeah, nowadays the art does have the downside, but one thing i know about Yoshihiro-sensei, it's that his marvelous art can come just out of the blue.. and the chimera arc is worth the wait..

Yep, i hate the 2011 one as well.. i haven't saw it yet but one pic and the OP and ED is enough.. they're more like cartoons..! Not anime..

Togashi-sensei's art is okay, not really top-caliber in my opinion. But the plot? Extremely one-of-a-kind and well-constructed! Props to him for cooking up the amazing story line that keeps fans asking for more. ^^

I haven't seen the OP and ED, but I watched the comparison in YouTube and it was more than enough for me to make up my mind. And not to mention the countless reviews sprouting in the internet.

You gotta love Yoshihiro-sensei's imagination..!
Yeah, there were some pretty nasty reviews about it.. though i was psyched when Illu made it in the OP..!
