My DB New Manga (In Work)

Post by DragonBalllKaiHD » Thu Feb 25, 2010 11:11 pm

What you would expect of the title above, I'm working on my new manga in "movie" style, which means there will be no "pauses". I have been planning on making manga for months and I got pretty good ideas of what will happen in the story. Kendamu will be helping me to get in the "right" direction. I will do what you will expect from me. Right now I'm working on the manga cover. The "manga" title will be purely in Japaense. You can decide which one of these 3 titles will be chosen for this manga. The title will be picked with the most votes.

#1 The Deepest Despair With No Hope in View! The Union of the Invincible Heroes
いいえホーププロフィールにある深い絶望!連合は、無敵の英雄

#2 The Despair with Darkness Has Struck Hard! An Extraordinary Battle with Everything on the Line
暗闇の中で絶望除籍ハードもっている!ライン上のすべての臨時の戦い

#3 What Sheer Ki!! The Extreme Powers That Surpass the Limit and the Declining of the Super Warriors
どのようなシアーエネルギー!エクストリームパワーズつまり台を突破リミットと少子化の超戦士たちの


Character Development:

Vegeta: A proud Saiyan prince, but his pride is not the same as he used to have during DB series in manga. In this manga he has established himself as an equal to Son Goku in term of power and strength. After Goku "died", Vegeta furiously told a villain he will avenge "Kakarrot".

Son Goku: He is the main character of the series. He has a fun personality and a friendly Saiyan who was raised on Earth. He was thought to have died in this manga. He still trains, even during the time of peace. No change in his development.

Son Gohan: A son of Son Goku and Chi Chi. He decided to train a little bit after his marriage with Videl, a girl he hung out with during his high school years. He is same Gohan he was during his fight with Majin Buu. He never lost his "ultimate" power-up and is still now one of the strongest allies.

Goten/Trunks: The duo has been lacking off the training and has forget the fighting style a little bit but their powers are not to take lightly. Both are attending Orange Middle School with cramped lifestyle, much like Gohan in his first few days in High School.

I am still uncertain with the appearances of Piccolo, Yamcha, and Tenshihan.

Storyline:
The story takes place 5 years after the death of Majin Buu. Everyone has been enjoying the peace that should have remained firm during Goku'sw visiting to Tenkaichi Tournament. But the peace continues to be on its peak until a mysterious person appears...

The main villain is an immortal legendary Super Saiyan who was said to have appeared 1,000 years ago, the same little story Vegeta mentioned during Freeza arc and will be explored on that.

There are many surprise elements that will be presented in the story, and I really hope everyone will enjoy reading my new manga. The manga will be released every 10 pages. I will reveal more info as time progresses.

Sounds very interesting. I can't wait to see it!

EDIT: Also, do you have any artwork samples?

An intriguing prospect indeed...

I second that request for artwork samples, as I really want to see what the Z Senshi and the main villain will look like. I hope the story is good and all that's left to say is...good luck! :D

Yeah, I'd love to see some art samples too! Sounds interesting!
As for the title, well, based on the translations I like the first one. I think it has the best ring. My second choice would be the second one. (Again, this is just based on the translations since I can't read Japanese...and I have no idea how they would sound as such.)

For the title, I'd go with either number 2, or the first half of 1 and the second half of 2.

Will the artwork be in Toriyama style or your own art style?

I like the first title the most. Also, do you have any concept art ready yet? I'd like to see your character designs.
...Wait what are you doing? Are you still reading this? I finished what I had to say, why don't you move on to the next post?

I started the cover. Sadly, I wont be able to get on-line because I don't have internet at home anymore. I have to use someone's computer. I doubt they would let me use it frequently.

Considered it done. Choazu is actually quite simple to draw. He is too roundy lol.

When I finish the designs and samples, I will be sure to post them as soon as possible. :D

Hmmm If you're looking for constructive criticism I'd say that you're art still needs to improve by some margin if you want to captivate readers interest as like DBMU are doing. I'm not saying I'm a master myself but maybe if you could rework your proportions or maybe do more free hand. Otherwise I love the idea and looking forward to seeing what you can do :)

Yeah, I agree. It looks good, just a little bit more practice with proportions.

Look up proportions and anatomical structures of the muscular system for reference.

Here, check out this site. It was the first tutorial I read up on the basics of anatomy and proportions, and it got me on the road for the proportionate drawings that I now draw. The page I linked to is just one of many of their tutorials, and they have some really good beginners tutorials.

Sounds interesting, nice to see a fan manga that is something original not something like "A new bad guy appears he is stronger then character A that character B beated a few years ago".

Thanks for tips. :)

I am glad you are all looking forward to see it. I will try to get the first page up by tonight.
