I don't think there's any confirmation on the case, but there's just no way that's real.. calling it now that it's 110% fake.

I don't mind Videl's look in this movie, she looks good in that recent artwork, but her Boo saga appearance (both short and long-hair) is so much better to me.

And I'm calling it 110% real.

Why do you think it's fake?
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.

I'm torn between whether I should hate you for that post, or love you because you're going to be our first source of the meaty spoilers on the film...decisions, decisions. :lol:

BTW, since you're an artist, can we expect a Super Saiyan God sketch after the film? :wink:
Draw? Can't he just take a picture or at least record the transformation with his cellphone? I'll assume Kei has an iPhone.

I'm going with real, but just stock art thrown together that isn't necessarily significant. Like SS3 Gotenks may not show up in BoG just because he's on this case.

And I'm going to assume he's not going to want to risk getting into trouble by doing something that illegal and then posting access to it on the forum. We know the franchise's powers at be lurk around here, and no one wants to deal with any legal repercussions. All it'll do is cause more headaches for our webmasters.

What we need is for kei17 to describe the "Super Saiyan God" state to an artist, who will work with him to draw the form as accurately as possible. Do we have any artists around here?

I'm pretty sure kei17 is an artist himself, so I think we already got that covered! :)

Yeah, I do believe he was the first one to sketch up Uisu from the crappy leaked poster way back when (feels like forever now):

Any last minute guesses on what ssjg will look like?
I'm thinking slightly more eyecatching version of that drawing on the office door.
10 hours? For what?...

I'm sure Kei's sketch of Super Saiyan God (if he chooses to do so) won't miss anything important, so there's no reason to risk taking a picture (especially when that would probably be poor quality anyway).

I think I prefer Kei's quick sketch of Whis to his actual design.

You know, I agree. He looks too much like a Kaioshin with his actual design anyway.

Yeah, based on kei's Uisu artwork, I think he'll do great at giving us some art of Super Saiyan God (if he so chooses). Look at how accurate the Uisu is, when it was done off of a picture where all we had was a really, REALLY tiny shot of him. This'll be artwork (again, assuming it happens) based on a movie that he just saw with his own eyes. That's a whole different ballgame.

Re: 10 hours

Until the premiere begins, though it's 8 and a half now.

Re: drawing

I'm totally fine with getting a sketch to go by. Looking forward to it. X3

I'm still hoping Ssj3 Vegeta is in this movie :'(.

I'm going out and heading to Tokyo. I wish I can enter the theater with my given ticket! And of course I will make a sketch of SSJG as early as I can, but I guess I'm not going to be the first one to do it because the one who gives me a ticket is a professional manga artist who lives in Tokyo, so he'll finish drawing a better one and post it to Pixiv before I'll have been home. :lol:

To think that when I finish Uni, spoilers about Super Saiyan God's appearance should be up!Image

This is about as excited as I will get. I just want to know what the damn thing looks like already!
