Today is March 3rd, which means it's Leorio's birthday!
I really don't know if I'll be able to make birthday pictures for all the 'Fantastic Four' this year, though. I have another project I'm working on (for a friend) and the end of my Erasmus year draws close (in fact, my finals are in May, so I'm not sure if I could make Gon's picture in time because of that). However, I'll try my best to draw all of the heroes as usual. ^^
This time I wanted to picture them as they were in their childhood (early childhood in Gon's and Killua's case), with their current appearance in the background. So here you have little Leo with big Leo! I made his eyes blue because I like his 1999 design, though it's hard for me to imagine little Leo with blue eyes due to the brownish monochromatic flashback in HxH2011. Kind of contradictory, huh?
Hope you like it! Happy birthday, Leorio!
Sorry for all the extremely simple backgrounds I'm making lately. ;___;
His eyes were blue in the 1999 version and brown in the 2011 one, actually. The one with green eyes in the 1999 version was Kurapika (and Killua, but only in the Greed Island OVAs).
i know that kurapika's eyes are blue in the 1999 version and i'm almost there to watch the Greed island episodes XD i'm still on the spider ova :3 but will get there eventually and then i'll start watching the reboot . i double checked on Wiki and it says he has green in 99 an blue in 11 :/ . in 99 its hard for me to tell if he has green or blue eyes
The Wikis are usually wrong when it comes to eye colour of the characters in any fandom, actually. Kurapika's were not blue, for example, but green (rather blueish green, and sometimes they looked blue because of the atmosphere and the washed-out look of the older anime, before digital animation), as you can see here: [link] I really don't know why the Wikis say that he has blue eyes... looks like any light eye colour has to be blue or something. In the original manga version, he has brown eyes, by the way (this boy had almost every single eye colour, it's always different ).
Leorio's eye colour can be seen clearly in the Greed Island OVAs, so when you get there you will see that he has blue eyes and Kurapika has green eyes. ^^ The only character who got his eye colour changed in those OVAs was Killua.
Anyway, here is a picture of Leorio in the 1999 anime with his blue eyes visible: [link] one from the GI OVAs: [link] and one from the 2011 opening sequence: [link]
man the 2nd and 3rd link says page not found and i know what you mean leorio's eyes do change in many environments as in when i got to G reed Island at some points his eyes were green as to the Spiders at many points look blue its hard to tell :/ and i'm having a hard time with the reboot version of leorio i'm to use to the old versions of the charters just seeing the reboot is weird . and i do agree that kurapika has his eyes change many times already (i count 6 )
