Gon is the main character of the manga Hunter x Hunter, which follows his journey to become a hunter to find his father. The manga starts out happy but gets darker after Gon enters the hunter exam. It is one of the most popular mangas due to how the tone and characters change and develop over time. For the secondary research art project, the author plans to base their artwork on Gon from Hunter x Hunter combined with elements from Tokyo Ghoul, adding their own style.

1. Secondary Research
For secondary research I’m going to analyse manga that I have, which is
Hunter x Hunter. This manga is one of my favourites as it starts of fairly
happy, as the plot follows the story of Gon, a child who is eager to join the
league of hunters so he can find his dad.
The first few pages of manga are mostly character development and
introductions. After that there is the exam needed to enter the hunters, as
soon as this exam starts the feel of the manga changes and becomes a lot
darker.
The one thing that makes the plot of this manga rated one of the best and
most popular because of the way it gets darker as the character does, so
you get a real sense of change.
The manga follows tradition as it is in black and white and is back to front. Out of all the
manga I have read this is one that I will most likely try and base my art work of, this as well
as Tokyo ghoul. I will most likely base my main character of Gon and use the mask of Tokyo
ghoul, but add my own style to it.
