Piccolo is so badly drawn. I hope they'll fire this artist.

Yeah, and SS Gohan's hair is really short and odd, making his face seem big.

[Saiyan Prince Vegeta]

Piccolo is so badly drawn. I hope they'll fire this artist.

Gohan looks strange too, and he's got his 'ultimate' hair and eyes.

[Raykugen]

Piccolo is so badly drawn. I hope they'll fire this artist.

All the artists of nowadays does stuff like that, there is not salvation xD, anyways, except the Piccolo and Gohan problems, the drawing it's pretty fresh. A really bad artist is who did these stuff:

Sadly, that's Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru.

[JeffJarrett]

Is it also Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru who did this?

Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru is probably the best artist DB has had, even Toriyama praised him, saying “Nakatsuru-kun is amazingly skilled, and mastered the peculiarities of my pictures in no time at all, to the point where there were even times when I couldn’t tell whether I had drawn a certain character design, or if he had”

[jjgp1112]

That's most likely Yamamuro Tadayoshi's work on that picture, JeffJarrett

[CashmanX]

You know, the laziness of most of the art we see these days is kinda pissing me off a little. When was the last time we got really awesome art on par with the early Dragonbox DVDs recently?

[Hujio]

Is it also Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru who did this?

That looks more like Yamamuro Tadayoshi's work. Unfortunately, you can really tell he didn't put much effort into it.

It's the one who's been in charge of artworks for the DB merchandise for about a decade. We don't know his/her name yet.

I know, and it looks he doesn't care anymore or something...

So, he's not Yamamuro?

Everybody's so shiny!

Thoughts:
-Soundtrack cover means soundtrack track list is on the way. Soundtrack track list means unintentional spoilers. :3
-How did they decide who gets to smile on the soundtrack's cover? Trunks is smiling, but Goten is not. Birusu is also a happy cat here. Huh.
-Ha, daizenshuu-like thing with Shenlong spread across the three backgrounds.
-I like FLOW's "drawn in Toriyama-style" cover. Hat-and-sunglasses guy amuses me.

I do agree with other posts though that I'm not really digging the art for the db characters here. Too stiff. I guess hoping for a cool spoilery cover like OPZ got would be too tall an order? Come on Toei, I shouldn't like FLOW's cover the best of all three.

I've seen doujinshi that looks better.

[Gyt Kaliba]

I like that all three covers connect via Shenlong, that's pretty nifty. But yeah, can't say I'm digging the art on them all that much, outside of maybe the Flow in DB style one. Kinda disappointed on the Kuririn the most myself, since I'm dying for some good quality artwork of this new design of him.

...Wait...how'd Kuririn manage to snag a spot on the cover anyway? I'm surprised since we haven't really gotten any kind of hint that he'll be doing anything important in the movie. And if it was a matter of including just those with new designs, you'd think Videl would be on there too.

MY EYES!!!

I've seen doujinshi that looks better.

Me too.

[JulieYBM]

I guess they pawned the covers off to a freelance artist so Yamamuro could stay focused on the movie. Better to hire a freelancer than divert the Animation Supervisor's attention, I suppose.

I like how Krillin suddenly disappears when the characters on the foregound all go SSJ and Piccolo uncrosses his arms

[JeffJarrett]

Krillin got a spot for the balance of the cover art (Piccolo on the left, him on the right, and Bills and Whis in the middle). With the Super Saiyans, they removed Bills/Whis and Krillin, and moved Piccolo to the center for the balance.
