Fanmanga- Who wants to be a superhero? (completed)

[Michsi]

I would have been done way sooner this time and with more pages too, but unfortunately, life, work, procrastination etc. ,etc. ...

I'll just upload the first 12 pages and hope I'll have the next 10 ready by next weekend, but again, no promises.

Please excuse typos, backgrounds, the usual....

[Scarz]

Fuck Yeah! Lunch!

[Maphisto86]

Never thought I would see Piccolo think "crap". There were plenty of times in the main story where that would of been appropriate for Big Green. Awesome cameo with Lunch too. Nice touch as always Michsi!

[BlazingFiddlesticks]

Fuck Yeah! Lunch!

[JulieYBM]

Oh man, this just keeps gettin' better and better.

Man, I wish I could commission work from you Michsi. >_<

[Saiga]

Oh noes! Looks like Piccolo is in trouble.

[Chuquita]

Lunch's reaction to being introduced to the masked characters. XD
This is such a fun comic.

[Michsi]

Man, I wish I could commission work from you Michsi. >_<

I tried to do this commission business once but it didn't turn out so well, due to several reasons. And to be honest, I'm a little wary of making money with fanart. I want to be a graphic novel artist and start promoting my original stuff soon, but after I read the thread about the fan made DB trailer, it made me realize that even the "attention" alone that I got because of said fanart could be seen as illegal use of copyrighted material. I just hope this won't come back and bite me in the behind one day.

That's a shame. I really loved those pictures you did of the characters in Toriyama, Kubo, and your original style. I'd have loved to see you bring that sort of style to DC heroes or something.

Oh well, hopefully you can get up and running professionally soon. You're at the very least good enough to go pro and we'll be able to get even better if you can leave grunt work to assisstants.

I feel like I can't say enough good things about this series. I look forward to this sometimes more than new chapters of official manga.

Never thought I would see Piccolo think "crap". There were plenty of times in the main story where that would of been appropriate for Big Green.

I wouldn't go that far. Some of the vocabulary used by Vegeta and Piccolo is slightly more informal than I might expect, but what they mean isn't out of character.

Although, a "Let that child alone" reference might not be too bad of an idea.

If I remember correctly, I know Piccolo said "Crap!" in the part of the manga where they were battling the Artificial Humans near the high way.

Well, this is something I haven't thought about much when creating this fancomic. The speech pattern. I just wrote whatever came to mind. I might have been thinking of tfs when I formulated that sentance, but I'm also more used to the german version of the manga where they used swear words all the time.

Thanks a lot!
Oh and I haven't given up on that little project about same character in different styles, there are still some left I want to try.

[Zionist]

OMG hahahahahaha Lunch that was so epic! Poor Piccolo XD He tried so hard! He really did >_< Great stuff as always Michsi

[Piccolo Daimao]

Great as always.

Lunch is still chasing after Tenshinhan, after all these years? Damn, she's persistent. I always wondered how the fuck she thought she was going to catch him, considering he's, you know, a nomad who can fly.

I hope you didn't take that as a formal critique of the writing. I just never recalled him simply saying "crap" before though I do not have the manga or my DVD's of the anime to look through right now. Piccolo becoming nervous and even freaking out is not unheard of though.

Personally I would not worry too much about doing commissions via private messages on the internet though it could seem sketchy to some but won't get you into as much trouble as selling posters and such in bulk online, at conventions, etc. Doing fan art without making money off it is in no way going to get you into trouble though. Nor is it something to shy away from for practice. Especially since this is more your own style evolving then a carbon copy of Mr.Toriyama's.

Well, I welcome and encourage any sort of constructive critisism. The speech pattern is an important trait that can help define a character's personality and I have to admit, I had not given it much thought when writing the dialog. I won't write them any differently, but it was still somthing to note for future work.

but won't get you into as much trouble as selling posters and such in bulk at conventions, etc

Well..... I'm kinda guilty of this, tbh. My first convention had almost only fanart because I pretty much thought that was the norm for anime conventions. Of course, I knew that this was copyrighted material, but somehow I believed that as long as it was for a convention organized for and dedicated to manga and anime (with official sponsors and so on) it was ok. I wouldn't sell fanart privately. I'm older and wiser now, but back then I was thinking that it wouldn't be such a widespread practice if it didn't have some sort of tacit consent.

I know Toriyama sorta, kinda confirmed that she and Ten ended up together, but for some reason, I always imagined it happened after the story ended. I guess it just feels strange for them to be a couple during the story and we just never get to see it.

Wait, when did he do that?

It was in an interview, I believe, but again, I'll have to go looking for the official source . It think this is the third time I'm having trouble finding the source for something I claimed was mentioned in interviews

The way I remember it, it was something like they ended up together mostly because she so persistent.

Wallah!

Ask Toriyama!
Q2. Did Lunch ever manage to meet up with Tenshinhan?
A. I wonder...Tenshinhan gave Lunch the cold shoulder, but she tenaciously persisted, and ultimately they were together! Couldn't that be it? (laughs)

[Michsi]

Thank you very much!
