Faithful enough. I do wonder how he'd have colored/clothed him though, given his vibrant and bizarre color schemes/outfits.

He kinda reminds me of Astro Boy for some reason, not sure if anyone else sees it.

Pretty cool. I always wanted him to do some DB artwork for ages.

I was too. I'd like to see a Freezer Force done by him, though.

I see that too, it's the shape of the eyes and the eyelashes (IMO).

I think he looks more like Koichi Hirose IMO.

Wasn't Koichi's design inspired by Cell arc Gohan?
"Perfect" is the enemy of the good. True for Cell and true for real life.
Don't forget to slow down and enjoy yourself.

I'm not sure, but it looks like it.

I can definitely say that Koichi's Stand Echoes (an early design at least) was inspired by DB's Cell.
