Is it just me or does Saichourou look like a Namekian Marlon Brando (Fat Brando)?

Haha. Julian did a Marlon Brando impression of him on one of the podcast episodes a while back.

Anybody else wish Fat Freeza's design was used for King Cold (or at least for King Cold's first form, and then we saw Cold transform into the state we know and love)?

I love and hate seeing Toriyama's original sketches. His drawing and thinking process is much more clear and I really enjoy the quality of his lines. However, it also reminds me that I am leagues away from reaching this level of artistic genius. Thanks for sharing though, these are great!

Pssh! You artwork is amazing, don't sell yourself short. I wish I had half your ability and I have been drawing forever, it's like I just can't get any better since 2005.

She could easily Draw a fan manga and convince half the internet that Toriyama drew it himself.

She does have a fan manga, in fact. An incredibly awesome one. I stumbled across it several years at the Pojo message boards... it takes place somewhere between the end of Dragon Ball and beginning of Dragon Ball Z. I think Goku and Chichi might be newlyweds in it. From what I remember, it was very faithful to Toriyama's style.

I totally agree with this. Have you seen the series she drew a while back that takes place inbetween the end of DB and the beginning of DBZ? It's identical to Mr. Toriyama's artwork. :3

EDIT: Dr. Casey beat me to it. ^^;

Some of the pages are in her DA scrapbook: http://announcerguy.deviantart.com/gall ... /scraps--2

Whoah, whoah, whoah! Put that away! We don't speak of that anymore!

Gah, I should just learn to live with my past artwork, no matter how embarrassing it is... That was a pretty fun project for me back in the day though.

I feel the same way...

And you're like leagues ahead of myself in sketches (at least when it comes to drawing characters in action - which I really need working on).

<_< We speak of it because we all love it. You do amazing stuff. I can't believe I didn't notice you were on the boards before.
