I'm also liking the artwork a lot as well. I can't believe the people in the comment page are saying that DBM is worst then GT?

The artwork in this special is defenetally worst than GT. As for the story of this chapter, we must see it untill the end.
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Yeah bulma's face made me cringe. But that brownish tint and his stunning backgrounds make up for it, Namek and that spacepod are drawn beautifully here.

But at least bulma has looked consistently creepy. XD

Wait, so I'm not the only one who sees what looks like a stain going down the center of the page? Thank gosh, I thought I was having a Hikaru no Go moment. But yeah, both the story and the art in this chapter is great so far, it already surpasses the Bardock chapter for me.

I think they do that because they know how much Salagir hates GT.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

Bulma's mouth on that page really does seem off. Too bad, everything else is actually pretty good.

I can see where you're coming from, as it does bare a small resemblance, but a really small one at that.

Or trolls gonna troll.

But yeah, I think the artwork has been pretty good so far and of a consistent quality, better than previous specials. The story looks quite promising too. The only small complaint I have is that there's been one or two off-looking faces (mainly from Bulma), but the art style, backgrounds, inking, sepia-tinted tone and shading are good enough that it vastly overshadows that.

Not that many people at the Japan Expo? I thought it is the biggest anime/manga/japan pop culture convention in Europe?

Other than that, boy do I ever know that feeling.

They shouldn't complain too much about not making much money using characters they do not own.

Is that legal? Nope.
My favourite art style (and animation) outside Toriyama who worked on Dragon Ball: Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, Masaki Satō, Minoru Maeda, Takeo Ide, Hisashi Eguchi, Katsumi Aoshima, Tomekichi Takeuchi, Masahiro Shimanuki, Kazuya Hisada

Isn't it legal in Japan? You know these Doujin Fests they have at Summers? Genshiken fans know what I'm talking about.

It's a common practice at conventions. Fanart and fancomics are accepted because the idea comes from Japan and if the artists and publishing companies themselves don't have a problem with it, I don't see why not. As far as I know, the Comiket was made for this type of work and if I'm not mistaken, some of the most famous mangaka today started out as doujishi artsists.

Like Kiyohiko Azuma? If you've read Azumanga Daioh or Yotsuba&!, you'll never believe they were from the same guy who started as a hentai manga artist.

(Side Note: The Wiki says Kiyohiko Azuma made a Dragon Ball dojinshi!)
