Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.
This took about 2 hours to make, but I upscaled and heavily cleaned up (mostly by tracing) the line art of this shot by Miyako Tsuji in the new TV promo of the movie, then colored it in from scratch:
The original was a cellphone camera video:
I could have waited for an HD recording, but it would still have all of the text overlays.

I noticed some color bleed from the skin onto the blue areas, so I went back and fixed that.
For anyone who may be upset that I'm adding so many images to the pages, I'm deleting the old ones when I make corrections, so they will disappear whenever your cache updates or whatever happens. It's the best I can do since we can't edit posts anymore.

Even shit promo artisit is doing decent with these designs. I sincerely hope this is the new look for DB from now on. It seems everyone is benefiting from them.
Shintani is even going to save us from shit promo artisits.
Majinwarman So I'm 'evil', huh? Interesting."
A world without Dragon Ball is just meh.
Some more expression sheets came out for Goku, apparently created by Isamu Takara(an animator I'm a fan of). I think the sheets are quiet interesting, I feel they are definitely Toriyama, though mixed with a little bit of something else.

What do people think?
I don’t think that’s Takara since sub-character designers don’t handle the main character of a film or tv show.

That means it's Shintani right? So basically, just about every problem he had drawing Goku before is gone now. Most of those look right from the manga, a couple even resemble Buu-saga Toei.

What do people think?
I think its extremely well done. Love it.
That piece really reminds me of the wonderful art from the unknown 90s promotional artist, especially in the face and layout.
I'm so glad that Dragon Ball looks this good now.

For what's it worth here's all the Gogeta promo art so far:
Spoiler:
UDM is my favourite one, I actually got up yesterday at 4.30am so secure my order for the DP lol. Didn't wanna risk losing out, thank god I did was the last one left!

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.
