I don't know, myself, but they certainly look official.

Just put a question mark at the end of the URL to bypass it.

The question mark's easier, I say. You youngsters should learn to respect your elders!

Very cool! I had no idea that site has this stuff on it!
I especially liked the 23rd Budoukai designs :D

Not sure if they're official but they sure look like it. Cool to look at though, I like the kid Gohan sketches.

Definately looks like something Toriyama-sensei has drawn! Yes, I, Like Heretic, like the Kid Gohan ones, specially the one where he's in full-on Piccolo armor.

I wonder, if they are real, where they came from... :?

Those pictures look oddly familiar...I'm sure I've seen them before. Usually I'm good at telling the difference between Toriyama and fan's work, but right now I'm too lazy to look at those pictures again, so right now I think they're real.

Its sometimes impossible to tell the difference between Toriyama's sketches and the animators sketches.

They're in pencil, so they're probably not by Toriyama. It just seems like something that a fan would draw for fun. Besides, in the first pic look at Goku's hand holding the umbrella. Toriyama is a master at drawing hands, but I could do a better job than that.

In the past I've seen plan sketches for various DBZ characters as Mr. Toriyama was designing them (though I don't have access to any at the moment). I wouldn't be surprised if those images are simular or perhaps images of what a character's final design for a particular storyline (such as the 23rd Budoukai).
