I wish I could commit to something and get this good at it. Damn ADHD ._.

Channel the hyperfocus and you will get there.
Even if it is 2 steps forward, 1 step back when you get into something else, you'll slowly make progress. You can't put certain techniques or fundamentals back in the bottle once you learn them for the first time.

u/SteampunkNightmare Mar 06 '25
I get that, but there are very few things I get to choose to focus on. Even when I was medicated, I only had a few interests I could willingly stick to. I've learned to take what I acquire during a hyperfixation and just hope it comes back around in the future.
I'm happy that my daughter doesn't show signs of ADHD. I encourage her when she pursues her interests, knowing that I may never reach the point myself with some things no matter how hard I try. If those interests shift, I'll encourage those too.
I can't do it myself in most cases, but I can support her to do it instead, and that makes me just as happy :)

Seeing her reaction to the artistic Hunter must be quite nice, i assume.
That's a cool artwork though.

Looks and personality aside, she's a breath of fresh air in the handler retinue - smart, resourceful, clearly actually conducting herself as a guild observer and enforcer, and with a good mind for self-preservation and an ability to ensure the safety of her own charges when there are civilian advisers present.
I do actually feel like I need to respect this handler's authority and insights, compared to previous companions.

Having her authorize our hunts does wonders for making the Guild seem more organized and official. It helps the player seem more like a professional and less like a murder hobo looking to skin anything large enough to make a hat.

The fact that she reminds you to carve/pick up monster parts when it runs away and gathers materials for you makes her an incredible asset

Ooh that's cool. Maybe I've been missing out with the insect glaive

u/Mikehuntbonsai90 Mar 06 '25
It's a super fun weapon and adds so much in terms of mobility and makes repositioning easy as pie in older mh titles . Now I mostly use the value for hopping onto monsters backs .plus it has super fast attacks making it easy to get tons of damage in quite quickly

u/DarkSobek Mar 05 '25
Man looks great :) And I like the idea of the hunter just doodling in their field guide.

Overall very well done. The nose seems too shallow, and that's one of her core visual features imo.

u/PennylessGiraffe Mar 05 '25
Thank you so much. And yes I can see that entirely now you say it. Will work on it for any future sketching

But she's clearly Indian or Indian american. And I mean Asian Indian not native Americans.

I definitely get a more Arabic feel from her nose shape tbh. But this is the MH universe so idk tbh

I assumed she was like Lebanese (Mediterranean Arab) in terms of ethnicity?

Alma: "What are you writing?"
Hunter: "Writing? Oh, nothing. Drawing. Drawing conclusions. And, drawing this. Do you like it? It's very generous."

Love your art style it looks great!

u/PennylessGiraffe Mar 05 '25
Thank you so much! It's just a generally sketchy anime style but glad you like it!

u/Sovis Mar 05 '25
ngl I took a long look at each of the map's drawings on the side and was severely disappointed there were no random silly drawings in the margins (aside from the monster drawings looking like designs for animal crackers). Our hunter is all bzns apparently.

You can draw directly in the game !? Best game ever

u/solojedi224 Mar 06 '25
Not sure If satire or…..but no you actually can’t draw in game. This is fan art. And pretty good fanart

Can someone photoshop the drawing Dennis Reynolds made of the psychiatrist? It's very generous.

u/Dark_Reaper115 Mar 06 '25
If only we could do that... Monster Hunter Wilds badly needs support to convert on game photos into drawn sketches for our research book. In theory shouldn't be too hard to pull with shaders.

Holy macaroni! That's amazing OP!!!!!!

u/PennylessGiraffe Mar 06 '25
Awh you're very sweet to say, thank you so much for being kind!
2
u/VonBrewskie Mar 06 '25
Ngl, I actually think the more stylized version you've made here, little bit sharper angles, maybe a bit more lightly anime inspired, I like this more than the game design haha! It almost looks like what you'd find in concept art collections. Very cool.
2
u/PennylessGiraffe 27d ago
I mainly draw anime characters and vtuber so the anime styling was more a natural process than a stylistic choice! But thank you
2
u/GreatRolmops Mar 06 '25
If the doodles on the maps and in our tent are any indication, the MH: Wilds hunter is actually quite good at drawing.

u/KSerge Mar 06 '25
Fantastic art! The idea of the hunter sketching her reminds me of Arthur's journal in Red Dead Redemption 2. Would be amazing if our hunter did something like that with all the great scenery in wilds.

u/Particular-Put-2840 Mar 06 '25
You wasted time to draw her instead of playing?!
You are nuts!
1
u/PennylessGiraffe Mar 06 '25
It's because I'm playing through the story with my bro, and he wasn't online so I didn't want to hunt without him. ♥️

u/Gomez-16 29d ago
PLEASE bring back the quest board, I am so tired of finding this chick because she walks off! I just want to post another quest and she is never around!
0
u/Furry_Lover_Umbasa 28d ago
No, fuck quest board. That shit was stupid in previous games and I always hated it.
Fusing quest giver with board is one of the best ideas that came with Wilds. If you cannot find her then thats a serious skill issue, bub
2
u/Gomez-16 28d ago
I think I wasnt clear. I want a fixed point to launch hunts, not a roaming npc that I have to find in order to just post a hunt. She is never in the same spot. Bring back the quest counter.
0
u/Furry_Lover_Umbasa 28d ago
Just look at the map. The base camp is not that far. Or just go outside and start fighting monster and shoot flare during that. I stop posting quest on a board since I discover I can just go and start a quest without that. Its way faster.

She puts things you need I'm your seikret, gets you quests to do, authorizes you to do your hunts. She's not a hunter, she's literally your help
