I'll enjoy reading any normal, male/female pairing, so long as it's well-written. I've read a good amount of decent-to-good GohanxVidel stories.

I, too, have read a lot of GohanxVidel fanfics, and I enjoyed only a few of them.

This is my favorite :

These ones are good too :

I've read a few good ones. There's just so many of them it's just... bleh. And if it's not Gohan/Videl, it's Vegeta/Bulma during the three years gap.

Agreed.

More ChiChi/Goku, or general fanfiction recs.

Well, I kind of make it a pastime to hunt down the good ones. Haven't in a while, though.

EDIT: Also, yeah, GokuxChi-Chi ones are rare, but are usually good.

I do like the pairing (which is fortunate because its canon) and have done fanart of it but I agree there are too many fanfics of them.

Anyway I have some new fanart of my own.

Chichi (23rd Budokai, requested by Rocketman)

Chichi (Early DB)

I posted them up on DeviantART if anyone wants the on the DA favorates.

So while my random fanfic generator is lame and gets old after a few dozen tries and seeing the same stuff over and over again, it can... umm... inspire real fanfics.
One of which I'm working on now. Don't know if t'll ever be finished, though... bleh... intraspection and lack of detail ftl... (Woah, no, I should never ever use that abreviation again... ).
... It's about Chaozu. I think I'm too vague though. :(.
Right now it's just a bunch of elaborating on vague flashbacks of early stuff, but I'm hoping it can turn into something more fun later.

More from the depths of mouse-drawn Hell:


October-themed Gohan

The hair came out slightly wrong in this one, and his hand is a little big. But SG2 didn't complain.

Super Saiya-jin Gohan

I was bored and decided I'd screw around with this.

Okay, so this isn't directly Dragonball-related, BUT its Akira Toriyama related, so hopefully its okay! A new piece I just finished, Chrono Racerball Z, hope you enjoy!

FUNNIEST THING EVER

Post by JAPPO » Sun Oct 07, 2007 10:14 pm

This is a fun audio file featuring Goku, Krillin, an unknown bad guy, and someone else.

Please check it out.

LISTEN NOW!!!

It's pretty hard to explain it, but I guarentee you'll laugh at least a little.
If challenge had a taste, you'd be quite delicious.

Did you draw that with a pen and paper then scan it in or draw it all on the computer? What program did you use to colour it? I've tried colouring things in Photoshop with my graphics tablet and I can't seem to get the gentle, almost watercolour blend that you've got in that image. Is there a way to change the function of the graphics tablet from "harder pressure = thicker lines" to "harder pressure = richer colour/darker colour/etc"?

So many questions!

Yup, I drew it on paper first, just pencil actually (was too lazy to ink). Then I scanned it into Photoshop, darkened the lines, like usual. However, all coloring was done in Corel Painter. I personally far prefer Painter for coloring, because the tools and brushes and everything look and feel more like real art mediums. That particular piece was done with the oil pastel brush.

And as for Photoshop, if your Wacom drivers are installed and you're using it in pen mode, it should already do the harder pressure/thicker lines thing. As for the color, play with some of the brushes. They have their own set of artist brushes near the bottom of the list that act differently than their default one. Anyway, good luck with that, lemme know if you have any more questions!
