There you have it. If it's to good(or outside the norm) then it'll be rejected. Fucking stupid if you ask me. I've read the Zuko mother comic books (very good read) and it wasn't dark at all. I guess Nick have their own version of dark. As the books were similarly toned as Korra. It was an amazing story. You guys HAVE to watch....I mean read it.
No.
Just No.
Unless you want to picture Zuko's mother as a responsible and loving mother, not mortally stupid female a-hole who put her kids in danger to piss of her husband and then decides to forget everything, because who cares about kids, let's elope with old love. Not that I liked her in original series but there at least she showed a trace of logical thinking.

I do wish for people who try to emulate the DBZ style as close as possible to the source to focus on less Yamamuro styled DB, and search for other styles during different time frames, especially if they are drawing Namek/Saiyan/Early Dragonball era images.
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

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
Well, I made this quick logo yesterday.
I was bored when I realized we'll be getting movies for both Dragon Ball and Star Wars next year and this idea popped into my head.
May the Ki be with you all.
Yes, Goku visited me once. He turned to me while I was still speechless, and said, "You've drank too much"...
Oh wow, I love that spine art work! Granted, I kind of wish it had left out the infamous SS5 design, but I think I get what it was going for too, in that you never know what's next for Goku. Might have been able to achieve that same feel with just another boot of Goku's - but one clearly not like anything we'd seen before, or perhaps even something clearly meant to be his Fukkatsu no F outfit - at the end there, just past SS4 Goku.
