Kaboom's "Draw Me A What-If" Game

Post by Kaboom » Fri Aug 14, 2009 10:46 pm

Okay, guys, as of late this section has become too dominated by DragonBall-Multiverse, TeamFourStar, and bitching about TeamFourStar for my tastes. It looks like it's up to me again to bring something new to the table. So I've come up with something cool that those of us with artistic skills (and even those without, if they wish) can come together and have fun with.
  • Each week, starting today, I'm going to post a general concept for a "what-if." It'll either be an idea for a character or a situation. It'll be up to you to give visual form to that concept in whatever way you choose, and post them here in this thread. All the while, I'll be drawing and coming up with things right along with you guys (I've tried my best not to plan any of my own drawings in advance, I promise).
  • Everyone's encouraged to give praise or critique as they see fit, but remember: drawing skill is secondary to concept and creativity when it comes to what-ifs.
  • Keep in mind, this is not a contest. It's a place to share ideas and hopefully show a wide range of artistic diversity while still sharing a single subject.
  • When a week has passed, I'll pick and post the next What-If. You can still and are encouraged to post pictures of past concepts if you want, though.
  • All the while, I'll gladly take suggestions for future ideas at any point, though you'll never know what I pick.
Characters will probably be comparatively easy (and as such, I'm going to start off with one). Situations, however, might be a bit tougher. All you'll get for those is a single change in the story at one point. From then on, it's up to you to interpret how things might turn out, and what event or point in that "alternate future" you want to show. Plus, being a situation kinda implies that you have to draw a whole little scene. But I guess in certain situations simply drawing one or two characters would work just as well.

But it's all up to you. Once given that original concept, the sky's the limit.


So we down with this? Sound like a good idea? Why don't we try it out, starting now? I'm making the topic on a Friday night, but we'll make the Saturday nights the roll-over time when a new concept gets posted. That way we can have a little extra time for this first experimental week.

Okay, the first What-If is...


A Fusion of Goten and Trunks through Potara rather than the Fusion Dance.


Now, read that very carefully. If there's anything I don't want you to do, it's limit yourself. Think about it. Did I say anything about what age Goten and Trunks have to be? What clothes they had to be wearing when they fused? What Super Saiyan stage the Fusion has to be at? Anything like that? Nope!

Go nuts, folks! Let's make this good!

Trunks'/Goten's potara fusion could be called... Tren? >.>

And he'd probably wear a Green gi with long Orange sleeves, purple hair with black tips in a sort of Gohan in the Cell arc style with more bangs?

I can barely even visualise this...

I'm all over this. I'm gonna whip up a drawing real quick, and I'll get back to you. ;)


Also, that's a great piece of work there, Metalwario!

Rough sketch (rough as in it looks messy. I doubt I could draw it any better (not to so it's perfect, this is just about as good as I am), it could just look cleaner):

I'm busy enough as it is but I can't resist things like this.

Will post a doodle in a while.

Thought I'd try my take on this, since I love the concept of this thread and I have way too much experience (read: 7+ years) in drawing Dragonball fanart.

Image

So there ya go. Can't be bothered to color it, sorry. Looking forward to what you bring us next week! :)

Usually goes by "Kevtrev" elsewhere online.

The first one was severely rushed, because I wanted to post the first artwork! Because of this, I made a better drawing of "Trunten" with the same design. I didn't color it because I really didn't want to! I hate coloring! :cry:

Only thing I don't like is his right arm(not the arm to the right in the picture)... I don't think I put enough perspective into it...

This is a cool idea. I think the name should be Trunkten, because wasn't that what Piccolo first called Gotenks? Anyway, I don't have time to draw right now, but I'll see if I can get one up later.

I will post the crap later. I'm very tired. I spent all night decorating the entrie room with Dragon Ball stuff and re-arragnged some things. I probably won't be getting some sleep until much later.

For those that is curious about my drawing, head over to the "Show Off Your Crap" thread.

I proudly present teen super saiyajin 3 Trunkten from Dragon Ball Untold Chapters! This is an idea I had been debating whether to add to my fan series or not and this gave me a great chance to draw him.

Here he is, my Tren!

Since Gotenks looks more like Trunks, I figured Tren would look more like Goten.

I'm trying to do a line and colour version but Fireworks is HORRIBLE to draw lines with, maybe MetalWario will give me some pointers. :D

Is there a way to use in the Pen Tool in Photoshop without there being a fill? It's bloody awful...

I never ever feel like contributing to the Fanworks section but this topic seemed too fun...

Sorry I didn't found pencil or color-pens so I drawn some sketch of ''Trunksen'' by ink-pen.

XD Rocketman, that better not be how our secret project is going to end up. :shock:

That's hilarious, and I must say, lots of these drawings are really impressive.
