Character design sheets?

Post by Brangeta » Thu Dec 25, 2008 3:35 am

I performed a search on this subject, and didn't get anything relevant. I'm fairly new here, so... do searches not... really... work that well here? Or is there some special technique to getting relevant results? :oops: I tried several times without success...

Anyway...

I was wondering if anyone happened to have any scans of character design sheets similar to those that surfaced related to the new DBZ Jumpland movie.

I specifically remember having a screensaver put out by FUNimation in the early 2000s that had the character artwork for all of the Saiyan Saga characters in it. They inverted them so the screen saver would be black with the pencil drawings being in white. I remember Tien most vividly. Does anyone have screenshots or scans of these designs?

To start this off, I would like to provide what I have thus far from years of slowly accumulating them. Please do not post the design sheets from the new Jumpland movie, as I already have them and they are very simple to find.

These vary in style, but I am looking for artwork similar to those I just uploaded:

First off, that Vejitto character sheet with the SD Goku and Vegeta on it is adorable. X3


Next: Kanzentai has all the character sheets from the new animated special.

Damn Brangeta where did you find those. That's pretty cool. I've never seen them.

He so cute, it literally hurts me inside! I kinda wish Gohan did keep that samurai look.

That (the above posted) looks surprisingly like Mr. Announcerguy's stuff...

Technically those aren't character design sheets, but rather Toriyama's rough sketches of the characters. Character design sheets are things used by the anime staff to help the animators draw each character the same way.

Some of them are. Some of them use cels.

King Vegeta is a giant compared to his son.
Gohan: At least he doesn't have his sword out anymore.
Kuririn: Yeah, and your dad put his finger away too.

They are from Movie 8.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

This is great I was looking for something that demonstrates how tall Broli is in relation to the others character and the difference between the height of his base state and the “Legendary” form.

The little ones are the Schemoans (sp?), they were slaves Paragus acquired from a neighboring planet to work in the strip-mines of New Vegeta. The little alien with the cloak (Moa I think) is the scientist Paragus uses to make and do a diagnostic test on the control gauntlet he uses on Broli. The soldiers with the visors are those that allied themselves with Paragus on the so-called New Planet Vegeta. I do not know who the bug-eyed person is, as stated they all appear to be from Movie #8.
The Saiyans are very much like the Klingons and Jem'Hadar.

Yes, but the pictures Scarz posted weren't.

Oh wow! Tanooki, I'd be very interested in seeing more images like that!

I found the screensaver I mentioned for download on the myfavoritegames DBZ site. Does anyone have the capability of taking screenshots of each of the scans within it?

WHOA! Brolli's final form is HUGE! :shock:
I mean, I knew he got bigger; but not THAT much.

I just bought FUNi's Season Seven box set and I just noticed that every single one of those aliens appear in the beginning of the Other World Tournament Saga. How strange. And Brolli's height is ridiculous! I mean, I'd HATE to have seen him fight Chaozu.
