The last First Shoot poll I wan on SubscribeStar had a three-way tie. Canute here is the first of the three winners to debut. I think it’s kind of fun that he’s coming into the Studio the same way that Thorfinn did, probably because I’m not really into Vinland Saga but a lot of my Subscribers are.
I didn’t really like the idea of Yuji palling around with Tanjiro or Zenitsu, I kinda see his and Inosuke’s Studio friendship as removed from either show and more about just them. That being said, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten around to drawing these two actually fucking, and thought finally doing that would maybe soften the blow of not doing Yuji/Tanjiro or whatever else this Subscriber was hoping for with this question.
I’m aware that a good portion of the people who follow me, both on SubscribeStar and off, do so because of my Gon and Killua work. While I personally am pretty burned out on drawing them, and also just don’t think about Hunter × Hunter very often since I finished it a while ago, I did want to squeeze out something with them. So that’s what this Ask is here, since I figured it’d be an easy one for Gon to answer and I thought it’d be cute.
A while ago I sketched a bunch of pin-up and POV pics of characters I felt I hadn’t drawn enough. Most of those will probably never make it to the final stages, but this Casca one is an exception. While coloring this one I thought it’d be funny to use the wording of the manga when describing Guts’s sword to describe the weapon he’s using here. I think it’s a nice touch.
