Impressive. They look better than mine do. Probably because your lines are straight. I can NEVER keep mine straight. :lol:

Anyway, I've posted about my fanfiction before but I figured since the thread's getting longer it wouldn't hurt to do so again, in a nice and organized manner.

(Note: You'll be seeing "Sai-jin" in the fics. It's an odd little quirk to my AU fics (which all of them currently are). There's reasons for it but they're not really important.)

I decided to start a Dragon Ball GT Parody, which is in the same style as my Death Note Parody:

Just to compare them:

Great Freeza picture, although you should draw the death ball. It looks a bit off.
I finally bought a gamecube. To bad they don't make any games for it now.

Even though no one ever comments on my stuff, here is a new piece inspired by playing burst limit.

Also, SSJ Gogito is obviously using the pen tool, no matter what he may say, Brushes in photoshop are not that clean.

I really like your drawings Omega! I especially like how you draw the hair/hands so flawlessly, nice muscle detail too.

Thanks!

I am really trying to get into digital illustration, my hand drawn stuff has always been superior but I am finally getting in the groove with my tablet.

Thanks. To be honest, the 2nd opening of the series helped me a lot, and I look in the Daizenshuu to have some indications on the shadows. But I'm improving !

See my Deviantart account in my signature to find my other drawings :wink:

Shenron, there appears to be something going on with the anatomy on your picture. The great saiya-man on the Left looks great, but the Gohan in the middle, and on the far right look off. Gohan in the middle is slanted too far to the left, and the one on the right's eye is way to big. Videl looks good enough, and the coloring is well executed.

I noticed it for the eye, but I always tend to make them too big when I draw my characters this way. But I've been too lazy to change it, and I think it's still ok this way.

About the Gohan in the middle...well maybe, I don't know, it really doesn't annoy me. But yeah, I'm not very good in anatomy.

That looks really neat dude, it's always nice to see some art that isn't just a straight out attempt at Toriyama's style, I'd love to see some more.

Well, I'm here to plug a non-irl friend's fanfic - of my own free will, too! It's a crossover of Tenchi Muyo and Dragonball Z. So far, I'm enjoying it!
Shift of Hearts. Be sure to let him know what you think of it!
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

Over the last couple years I've become bored with DB/Z/GT in terms of it not having anything new or especially with the games always being the samething over and over with no change.

I'm also big into character designs and often times will do my own versions or redesigns of characters, like with DBZ.

Image
Image

One of the things that inspired this was seeing those famous manga artists (One Piece, Bleach, etc) doing DBZ artwork in their own style, which was what got me to stop drawing the character's eyes in Toriyama's style when doing DB related fan art. I mean as long as the characters have those Toriyama style eyes it's really easy to make them look recognizable, but once you take those eyes away and do them differently it really changes the way the characters look, so like with Goku above there was a big of challenge in getting his face to look gentle and innocent and still having it look like Goku rather then a typical bland face or tough guy face or whatever.

I also tend to dislike lack of detail or lack of space in my designs which is why my version of Goku has so many lines/details to him.

You definitely have your own style. Nice! If there was ever an americanized DragonBall Z series (i.e. : Sailor Moon ) this design could be an ideal pick XD.
