Happy New Year everyone! ^___^

Here's my New Year's upload featuring the handsome and coolest assassin of all, Killua Zoldyck from Hunter x Hunter!

I screencapped my reference picture from the Heavens Arena arc, when Killua and Gon were blackmailed by Guido, Sadaso and ______ (the electrically-charged whip guy, I can't remember his name ^^; ) into "fighting" them (they were supposed to intentionally lose the fight) by kidnapping Zushi. Of course, Killua saved the day by rescuing Zushi on time and by using his cool assassin abilities to scare off the three offenders into forfeiting the fights.

I'm really happy with how this turned out. This was my first time to make a fanart of a guy, and not to mention I adore Killua to death, so I was really trying my best to perfect this drawing. I kept on drawing and redrawing his left eye (you could see a dent on his left iris from all my erasures ^^; ) because compared to the reference picture, it looks so wrong. I almost gave up on this drawing and tried to start a new one, but my sister encouraged me not to scrap this by saying that once I put his hair on his eyes wouldn't matter much because it will still look like him. I'm glad I did as she told, it did look a lot better once I drew on his hair. ^___^

I hope you like it! Comments will be much appreciated!
