Continuing drawing hxh characters based solely on the descriptions of them from Media Club Plus by @friends-table. This is Mizuken, Kurapika's Nen Teacher.


Jack: Yeah, so, I had not even thought. But here my heart sunk a little bit, because I was like, “Ah, fuck. We've cut to Kurapika so that he can learn about Nen,” and I was right, because Kurapika meets a sort of murderous vagabond, I guess? in the woods.

Dre: Mm-hmm.

Jack: Who shoots an explosive acorn at him and then handily takes away his Hunter License and gives it back and says, basically, “I'll train you in Nen.” He’s a sort of violent shabby Mr. Wing, if Mr. Wing is a kind of placid shabby Mr. Wing.

Sylvia: He kind of looks like a non-copyright-infringing Ryu knockoff.

Jack: Oh, he sure does. Yeah, yeah, he really does.

Dre: Oh, yeah, uh huh.

Sylvia: His gear’s just brown instead of white, [Jack: Yeah.] and he's got a bit more stubble. Though there was that one Street Fighter where they gave Ryu facial hair, and everyone went fucking insane on the internet, so. [Jack chuckles]

Keith: It blew a huge chunk out of a tree. It was an acorn. I don't know if we ever get that guy’s name, actually.

Jack: Uh, we do.

Keith: We do?

Sylvia: We do in the Hunterpedia.

Keith: In the Hunterpedia. Oh, okay.

Sylvia: Yeah.

Dre: Oh, yeah.

Sylvia: I didn't write it down, though.

Keith: Whatever his name is. If somebody could let me know what that guy’s name is, that would be great.

Jack: This man’s name is…Mizuken.

Keith: Mizuken. Okay. So, Kurapika meets Mizuken, and Mizuken’s like, “I'll teach you about—” or, sorry, he says, “Your Hunter Exam isn't over yet,” is what he says.

Dre: I was gonna say. First he negs Kurapika and then is like, “All right, I guess I'll teach you about Nen.”

Keith: Yeah. So, he’s learning about Nen from a stranger from the woods. We get a quick Nen recap. I'm sure Jack was excited about that.

Shoutouts to the Friends at the Table Transcription team for their work, which made my job easier with this one: https://sites.google.com/view/fatttranscripts/more/media-club-plus

in reply to @graham's post:

unfortunately I think transcription team also missed a small key word here, I think what's written as

Sylvia: His gear’s just brown instead of white

should be

Sylvia: His gi’s just brown instead of white

Lol thank you, I had fun drawing him! I was torn about whether to keep the original version of him I made to stay true to my canon vs drawing him the way he actually appears in the show, but I went for the latter since I'm ultimately doing this all as fanart anyway, and it makes the scene clearer I think

Thank you! I knew I wanted to do this sort of scrunched up "shooting a blow-dart from the air" type look, and then I realized a hadouken gesture was Ryu-coded and a good excuse for Nen-powers shooting the acorn.

That all being said, it wasn't until I had Mizuken posed up there and drew in a tree branch that I realized I had inadvertently created forced 3-point perspective. I'm honor-bound to ridiculous perspective drawings as soon as I see I can go in that direction, so I think I ended up doubling or tripling the amount of time on the piece just getting the rest of the forest and the colors to all make sense together
