Re: Cool fan cover of CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA

Haha, I love it! The fellow in his orange gi, and, more specifically, his dancing about, mesmerized me for the entire duration of the video, especially at the end there. :lol:
Thanks for sharing, I think it's a great cover!

Re: Was There Ever A Moment That Made You Cry?

I don't know if any scene has actually made me cry (I only remember ever crying at two movies, and one of them the movie was actually really crappy but it reminded me just enough of the book, which I think actually DID make me cry), but if anything did it would have probably been when Vegeta sacrifi...

Re: DBK English Trailer

Whoa, exciting~ I really enjoyed that trailer. Actually gave me goosebumps...! It's only a small sampling, sure, but...looking great so far!
Also, I think I'm liking Vegeta's apparently, er, milder, voice.

Re: Any Tips On How To Draw DB Characters?

Oh, I see! I have the opposite problem; when I try to draw full-body drawings of characters standing still, they always look a little off. Well, I always used to draw them standing still in the same pose, but then I think after some middle school or high school drawing class I was forced to start tr...

Re: Anyone else excited about the Uniqlo deal?

So many crazy awesome shirts! I don't think I would be too self-conscious about wearing a DB shirt around. (For goodness sakes, I'm a college student. Nothing should be able to embarrass me! Or maybe that's just science people.) At least, I wore a Pokemon shirt out last weekend and didn't care. (A &...

Re: Any Tips On How To Draw DB Characters?

In the DB style in particular? I draw a bit, but not strictly in the DB style. My humble opinion and advice from limited personal experience is that you'd do best developing your own style if you haven't already, and then coming back to DB. What I mean is, if you learn how to draw in general first, ...

Re: Turning the girlfriend into a fan?

Re: Turning the girlfriend into a fan?

Well when I lend her the first DBZ manga, I'm going to give her a little backstory and character history. I'll make sure she has a basic idea of the characters. And the reason I'm not starting her off on DragonBall is because I'm not really interested in spending money on it until I've completed my...

Re: Turning the girlfriend into a fan?

I'm trying to get my boyfriend more interested in DB as well. But he's expressed much more interest in starting from the beginning, rather than from Z -- I think because of the humor. (A girl wishing wishing her boyfriend would be more into DB. I suspect I represent somewhat of a minority...) Maybe ...

Re: Favourite character

I'd say my favorite character is Vegeta, because he's one of the characters with the most character development from his appearance through the end of the series. And I ended up drawing him a lot because I used to do these dumb little comics...and...well, it's pretty easy to put Vegeta into hilariou...

Ehm, well, I doodled Bulma while collecting data for a physics lab today... :lol: (It was a very long, tedious lab and I was the only one there, had to entertain myself somehow...)

Oh shit, it's only $29.99 now. Whoa! Thanks for that! I'd been waiting for some such sale. My personal resolution was not to...

Re: Ripping game audio?

I'm no expert on this, but I do know one way to get audio/video from a PS2 onto your computer. Well, two, but they're basically the same. You can get a capture device, by which you plug the three (audio L, R, and video?) plugs from the PS2 into something that hooks up to your computer, and use a pro...

Re: Vegeta's Last Words

Definitely doesn't seem in Vegeta's character to say, "Kakarotto is better, and always will be." But that's the whole point of his speech as far as I can see. Him finally realising that living to outdo Goku won't get him anywhere because he can't. Yeah, very true. (Weird how I can come ba...

I think I posted this elsewhere recently, but my brother and I got some Vegeta figures from Burger King long before we saw the actual show. Then when we finally got cable (~summer 2000), we saw him on TV and recognized him as the figure long forgotten. From then, I think the overall weirdness of the...
