Fanmanga - Dragon Ball New Age

[Cetra]

I must admit, I am not a great fan of those "stronger than this" line just like the last time as it just sounds like some confirmation for fans that the character has been forced to think for only that purpose but it is not like statements like the one you made for Beerus, so a "less forced-sounding kind" have never been made so I am okay with that.

And man - those are some kickass panels!

[SuppaSaiyanNerd]

In all seriousness, those "new pages" contain panels directly traced from Toybles DBAF. I really don't understand how this could be fooling anyone.

Not to mini mod or come off as an authority figure. But your last few post has just been bashing New Age for the sake of bashing. We understand. You don't like it. Do you have the panels to prove he traced? Or are you making stuff up to make Malik seem bad?

It'd be kind of hard to 'trace' Toyble's AF, seeing as I don't own any physical copies of his work. Furthermore, almost all of the redrawn pages are done directly from my old pages. And even FURTHER furthermore, Toyble's AF (especially in its early pages) has been traced almost entirely from the DBZ manga and anime, Kajicka, Cowa!, and several other Toriyama manga, so even if I was going to 'trace', why would I use Toyble's work and not use the other material. FURTHER FURTHER furthermore, I NEVER traced a single image in these pages, unless its MY OWN art.

I really don't understand what you have against me, or why you troll EVERY board I'm on with not an ounce of constructive criticism. You are bashing just to bash with no proof or reason behind it. It is really becoming bothersome, and annoying. If you don't like the series, then why are you constantly going into my threads just to voice your disapproval? I don't know about anyone else here, but when I don't like something, I don't keep exposing myself to it. I get it, they get. YOU don't like it. Please, move on.

Next batch of revised CH9 pages

bumping these to this page

[Flame Dragon]

So what color scheme was chosen for SSJ5 in the end? I forgot

So what color scheme was chosen for SSJ5 in the end? I forgot

Rigor has a black fur + gold hair color scheme, with a red aura with black lightning, black sclera and red eyes.

Goku and Vegeta, should they obtain the form, would have a dark crimson fur with gold hair, with golden aura with blue lightning, with normal sclera and blue/green eyes

[SuppaSaiyanNerd]

Right, right. You copy, don't trace. Either way, several identical panels to other manga. I'll stop now.

[Cetra]

Malik, you forgot to darken the tail part between Rigor's legs in his great full-body" panel.

[TheGmGoken]

Right, right. You copy, don't trace. Either way, several identical panels to other manga. I'll stop now.

No proof?

No proof?

I can only see one similiar panel and that is when Rigor's hair grows longer and that is like a scene from Goku going Mega-Saiyajin.

I'm not actively following these conversations in-depth, but I've seen enough of this to put out an ultimatum:

You're rude and disruptive.

Account strikes will be issued from here on out with any of your responses that don't adhere to the same community guidelines we ask of everyone else. Enough free chances and verbal warnings have been given. If you want to actively participate in this community, enough is enough. If you don't, that's fine as well - I guess we'll deal with whatever your next contributions brings. I have no desire to actively dissuade someone from contributing, but there's really no other option at this point.

If you have valid points to bring (perhaps with examples?), by all means, bring them on.

I see your ssj5 5 transformation has changed Malik. I like the new design, very fitting for Rigor if you ask me. So I take it that you're going to revise all the chapters of Rigor first then focus on Aladjinn?

Yes. Even some of the early Aladjinn Saga is being redone. With the books coming out for conventions, I want to present the best possible art and story that I am able while still adhering to the storyline that the people who like my series have come to enjoy. With my art at the level it is now, I feel comfortable with redoing all the pages/panels that need to be redone before continuing the main story, so all the art and story is up-to-date, stream lined, and fluid. This will also keep me from having to take so many revamp breaks if I just do all the revamps and get them out of the way so I can focus on forwarding the story.

And a lot of my peeps have the same feelings about the new SSJ5 designs Like myself, some are sad to see the original design go away, but with time, I think everyone who enjoys my series will come to like it.

Malik, you forgot to darken the tail part between Rigor's legs in his great full-body" panel.

Yeah my bad lol it was pointed out by someone on deviant art as well, so I'll have it fixed shortly

Conventions!? What's that about?

[Malik_DBNA]

Conventions!? What's that about?

I attended Glass City Con in Toledo last month to promote DBNA (met Todd Haberkorn, and he got himself a copy I might add ), and I have more conventions coming.

August 30th I'll be at the Fandom Bazaar at my old college. It's a one-day free event to promote local artists and their work.

October 4th, I am attempting to get a table at Nyan Con at the same college.

October 30 - November 2 I will be at Youmacon in Detroit. Volume 2 will debut here, and MasakoX of TFS will also be coming by the booth to autograph copies and meet the fans.

You may want to take this to PMs?

In fact, you should check your PMs asap.

History of Rigor Ch2 Title Page

[Hellspawn28]

Right, right. You copy, don't trace. Either way, several identical panels to other manga. I'll stop now.

IIRC that Malik uses references for drawing. He does not straight up trace images unlike most fan artist do. Nothing wrong with using references because a lot of artist use them in order to draw backgrounds and other images. I use references to draw buildings because I suck at drawing them off hand.

I appreciate you sticking up for me. Fortunately, this is already been resolved, so we don't need to bring it up anymore.
