Ah, thank you!
It was the Wacom Intuous5. I've fallen a bit in love with it so I'll probably have to get my own at some point or I think my flatmate will start getting mad that it's starting to live in my room.
I think my biggest surprise was how poor Photoshop is for drawing pieces like this. PaintTool Sai was probably the best investment in this whole experiment. The 'smoothing' feature in that program is just incredible. Allows you to get the most precise and smooth lines possible with no trouble at all.

Heres a lineart of End of Z Goten in base, SSJ1, and SSJ2. Base done by Keikoro with edits done by JayDRivera, both from deviantart.
Really like the SSJ1 hair.

It's really too bad Goten and Trunks slacked so much. Goten could have achieved SSJ2 if he tried.

Indeed, especially considering that the two were so strong at such a young age. Goten and Trunks achieved SSJ1 at, roughly half the age Gohan did as well as Master the form? If they continued training and didnt rely on fusion so much they could have easily achieved SSJ2 if not SSJ3. A shame indeed. Speaking of Trunks though, heres another lineart done by the same two who did Goten.

Not sure if people miss the fact that with each SS transformation the hair are pushed more and more, thus a Saiyan cannot have more bangs left hanging than in a previous form; or just deliberately ignore it so they could just draw whatever they like.

At least in DBO, they started training seriously again, and even opened a swordsmanship school. I would imagine that they achieved SS2, and maybe even SS3.

I don't consider DBO canon. It's a video game.

Doesn't matter, I just pointed out that they trained again in a story.

Thats more or less a fan rule. If every Saiyan followed that logic than Adult Gohan would look like this in SSJ2.

Super Saiyan may or may not take away bangs, but the next forms will never add extra bangs. This isn't a fan rule, it's common sense.

I disagree with the idea of all these "rules" and applying them as if it's the only way the bangs can function. It's annoying. I will agree with applying some common sense to the bangs, and as such Trunks probably shouldn't have that many bangs in the image, but saying that no Saiyan can keep the same number of bangs, or gain more, while ascending to a higher transformation under no circumstances seems ridiculous.
For example, if a Saiyan transformed into a Super Saiyan and had one HUGE bang, I could easily see it splitting into two or three smaller ones for Super Saiyan 2.

Yeah, this is a different matter.

Yeah not a fan of furry legs (seems hypocritical, looking at myself) so pants are nice for SSJ4. Hair looks awesome though, enough to tell the difference from Goku.
Heres a SSJ5 concept done by nikocapado

That extra bang jumped out at me with SSJ2 Trunks because that means his hair went DOWN instead of UP when he went SSJ2 and that's the opposite of what happens.
If you just took that Gohan-style bang away it would be fine.

I adore this image. Adult Goku and Vegeta Jr. duking it out in Super Saiyan 1. The designs on them are great too.
