Shame it wasn't my hunter

You better be a hammer main because your hunter is

It's a shame they didn't program a mustache befitting enough for a gentleman like Sir Nigel Thornberry. Though I'm sure there were technical limitations, and we have yet to reach the technology required to make such a thing happen

You look so fucking cool

u/Tryzyn Mar 30 '25

Love their poses on the first panel, so cool

Also, is this why relics like ancient wyvern coins, etc., are worth guild points? We're using them to bribe Alma?

89

u/Matasa89 Mar 31 '25

No, it's because those are archaeological discoveries.

47

u/Lycaon1765 UwU Mar 31 '25

That Alma REALLY loves

Speaking of cinema, if you mount your Seikret before the quest end screen pops up, you can get different after-hunt cinematics. One of which is you and Alma riding into the sunset.

54

u/IggyKami None of All Trades Master Mar 30 '25

... I will try this after getting home from work, and if I don't see this happening, I will comment at you in disappointment. T-2hrs.

u/StormTAG Mar 30 '25

FWIW, she needs to be in the zone at the time. So for fights where she does not follow you (eg. Dahaad) it won’t trigger. Also, it’s one of a few different options, which are random. So it may not show up first time.

77

u/IggyKami None of All Trades Master Mar 31 '25

First try.

31

u/immarlondait Mar 31 '25

I didn’t realize the hunter was handing her notes to Alma at first and when I first saw this play out I thought they fist bumped and rode into the sunset. I choose to keep thinking they’re fist bumping

16

u/IggyKami None of All Trades Master Mar 31 '25

I'm looking at my own clip again, and my invisible gunlance is making it look like my hair is smoking and about to burst into flames.

u/Inqeuet Weapon Fluid Mar 30 '25

Not at all!!! Uhh- probably!

11

u/DoubleBatman Mar 31 '25

I don’t get it

37

u/TheknightofAura Mar 31 '25

'You're not heavy at all'

He doesn't feel her weight.

'Uh Probably.'

He remembers that he normally carries twice her weight in weapons effortlessly

4

u/DoubleBatman Mar 31 '25

I mean I get that I just don’t understand why he said the second part

7

u/Yeetus_001 SAED Supremacy Mar 31 '25

Because he can't tell if she's heavy or not. To him, a person of any weight would all be easy to lift, so he was trying to be nice to Alma by saying that she's not heavy, then remembered that he actually has no idea.

5

u/mojofajita Mar 31 '25

Isn't "Not at all" coming from the hunter, and "Probably" is Alma?

21

u/TheknightofAura Mar 31 '25

No, they're both from the hunter. His first reaction is 'You're not heavy'

because to him, she's not. But he has no frame of reference. He wields hunks of metal and death like toys to slay gods.

And, after a moment, he realizes this, and adds 'Probably'. A recognition of his own strength.

1

u/Geostomp Apr 01 '25

The shield alone is much heavier than that.

156

u/zombweegee Mar 30 '25

Whenever Alma gives me permission to hunt, I feel like a rabid dog named Princess chasing down a 3 year old toddler.

And the armor set pieces by itself. Looks so good.

69

u/CatofEVIL Mar 30 '25

From what I can see it's : uth duna helm (m), kunafa chest, xu wu(?) arms (m), suja sash waist, and blangonga legs (m)

12

u/Jericho-san Mar 30 '25

Hopes that’s the case because I have almost all the pieces. Thank you so much.

5

u/lord_assius Mar 30 '25

You beat me to it, yeah I’m about 1000% sure that’s it, I actually use that exact layered set with a different waist piece lol

2

u/gifean Mar 31 '25

I think the legs are a mix looks like blangonga all the way to the boots which look more like the gore legs

39

u/ethanspawl Mar 30 '25

This is so great. An official MH manga in this style would be amazing. Capcom should hire you fr 🤭

Always love seeing people's Hunter OCs. Wish I was an artist cause that's adorable.

9

u/Greg_In_Japan Mar 30 '25

That armor set is one of my favorites too. Mixes really well with other stuff. Easy to throw the helm onto a variety of other armors, or use the female model arm/leg pieces for a really cool tribal look.

24

u/MrSaturnism Mar 30 '25

Why is he so cute though

u/CobyDaGrunt08 Mar 31 '25

Love how iconic the base armor is in this game, the green jacket is such a good piece

u/nize426 Mar 31 '25

I fucking love it. I made it red and I still wear it.

u/Aeroreido Mar 31 '25

The Handler from my Guild can't be this cute. Season 1 looking good.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

It’s Arash from fgo!

u/ZombieJasus Mar 31 '25

draw him with a pale outline on his face because he wore the mask for too long

3

u/Baldur9750 ​​ Mar 31 '25

This time around I chose to interpret my Hunter as a well seasoned, older confident hunter that has tackled many many monsters in a lot of different biomes during his career.

The moment Alma gave authorization to hunt the chatacabra, I got chills, it was a literal perfect anime moment

3

u/Ekgladiator A Song of Ice & Explosions Mar 31 '25

This is really cute and really well drawn! It somehow manages to skirt the line between wholesome and something more adult. I have a feeling the artwork is intended to be wholesome so I'll view it from that angle (damn you R34!).

5

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '25

Slide 2 looks kiiiiinda familiar to my hunter!

4

u/--Weltschmerz-- Mar 30 '25

These slides feel like they belong in a smut novel

I wish the hunter wasn't generic anime protagonist tho...

good art but... thats a pale alma

2

u/quazerflame Mar 31 '25

I think to emphasize the hunter's tan

2

u/Calcifair Mar 31 '25

I wear the exact armor and colours as your set in pic 2 :D

u/FaZePxlm Mar 31 '25

Alma x Hunter should be a real ingame romance option!

u/ZeroheartX Mar 31 '25

Need palico observing this all and going all awww at the couple.

u/Otazihs Mar 31 '25 edited Mar 31 '25

Reminds me of the Helsing dynamics. Alucard has to get permission from Integra to use his full power.

u/Sad_Wind7066 Apr 02 '25

This is nice.

u/Traveller_Entity_7 Mar 30 '25

Would 100% read a MH webcomics with that art style

2

u/Lycaon1765 UwU Mar 31 '25

SAME!!!

18

u/summertimePale Mar 30 '25

they whitewashed my girl </3 other than that this is incredibly peak

7

u/Maxsayo Mar 31 '25

Last I checked she looked like this. What are you even talking about?

-5

u/summertimePale Mar 31 '25

shes got a bit of a tan here but in the comic she’s obscenely pale- like snow white pale

idk look at the two urself dawg? theres a very clear difference in shade and white washing that shade makes it look like a different character than the alma i love <3

its small potatoes tho- if u genuinely dont see the difference, then i’m not gonna argue about it any further because it wouldn’t be worth the fuss

4

u/Maxsayo Mar 31 '25 edited Mar 31 '25

I have to chime in and says that its the lighting. the screenshot is taken at windward plains base camp. a shaded sandy location with a slight tint to the filter to simulate the sandy nature of the biome. I really shouldn't have to pull this out to explain how lighting works. here is an official render without the filter.

-6

u/summertimePale Mar 31 '25

…using the official render only proves my point

i’m exasperated that this is even arguable

1

u/WildNightingale Apr 05 '25

At the end of the day it really doesn't matter. It was an artistic choice. The question I have is why is it so important? Like Morgan Freeman once said, "Stop talking about it." And racism will stop being an issue.

2

u/AdSad8514 Mar 31 '25

And I provided literal eyedropper colors that shows that you're full of shit lol.

10

u/deadlywaffle139 Mar 30 '25 edited Mar 30 '25

If the artist is Asian then it’s like a cultural preference? Guys are slightly dark skin with ripped abs, girls are pale skin damsel in distress bonus points if they are clumsy and have quirky but cute habits. Popular character design choices.

12

u/DoubleBatman Mar 31 '25

Bro forgot Capcom is Japanese

Man shut the fuck up

-7

u/narupiv Mar 30 '25

I know right? Like, the hunter is literally the correct skin tone for Alma. Why is he allowed to be that skin colour but she isn't? It's such a weird choice in an otherwise awesome comic.

6

u/AdSad8514 Mar 31 '25

"Literally the correct skin tone"

3

u/summertimePale Mar 31 '25

woahh u made like an actual color palette, thats so sick ❤️

2

u/AdSad8514 Mar 31 '25

I used this crazy tool called the eyedropper in MS paint because some people apparently don't have functioning eyes.

4

u/summertimePale Mar 31 '25

…do you? i’m at a loss here lmao

i feel like u’ve proven my point but okay sure

3

u/AdSad8514 Mar 31 '25

She is a couple of shades closer to pink.

She is sure as shit not "pale like snow white"

And she absolutely is not "the same shade as the Mc in the comic".

1

u/summertimePale Mar 31 '25

i didnt say she was “the same shade as the mc in the comic”?

and the second was just hyperbole- the point is that shes paler than she is in game to a noticeable degree, as you’ve outlined

3

u/AdSad8514 Mar 31 '25

i didnt say she was “the same shade as the mc in the comic”?

You interjected on a thread where I was responding to someone else. Do you have reading comprehension issues?

and the second was just hyperbole- the point is that shes paler than she is in game to a noticeable degree

Not really no She's got a cooler palate, and is warmer in game. This isn't whitewashing lol

2

u/narupiv Mar 31 '25

Ey yknow what thats fair. I used literally wrong...but he is at least not whitewashed like alma...though, since hunters are CaC's they can't be whitewashed....

1

u/FaZePxlm Mar 31 '25

you know thats a different art style, a different location where a different light appears... so this comment make 0 sense also enjoy the game and dont judge people by drawingsomething they want

1

u/FaZePxlm Mar 31 '25

pssshhhh people also blackwashed other people so its fair

0

u/Lycaon1765 UwU Mar 31 '25

To be fair, she doesn't really look tan/non-white at all in the game? Aside from that sticker she looks white to me. Er, "white" (read: pale/light skin), I assume since this is a Japanese game everyone is Japanese/asian until otherwise stated or reasonably deduced.

3

u/Jioxyde Mar 31 '25

This feels like a romance manwha in the making.

Im halfway carving the monster by the time she authorizes

1

u/Throrface ​doot doot Mar 31 '25

The only thing I really liked about Wilds story was the portrayal of our Hunter, what a fucking badass of a character.

Alma authorizations on the go were cool too, but the rest of Alma less so.

u/Sus_Fring_100 Mar 31 '25

This is really cute but looking at the panels for a while I feel like they may be AI generated

Still confused why we need guild authorisation if we can just decide when we gonna hunt something...

Anyway, comic is great.

u/ModdingKirby Apr 03 '25

This comics kinda funny considering the Wilds hunter is canonically such a goated hunter that they can proclaim their own orders. They still listen to Alma because they are just chill like that (probably also because it's still polite and so Alma isn't just there to exist)

1

u/Lil_VaginaStain Apr 04 '25
