I'm really excited for this because I also think this will be artist ValHolla's first ever accepted submission by the site! This opens the flood gates to so many different possibilites... Could this spark a huge new trend on the site in general? Will TeeFury's more "seasoned" talent like
WinterArtwork,
Captain Ribman,
Matt Dearden, or
zerobriant step up to the plate and draw up some Dragon Ball designs?
And as great as ValHolla's design is, it's fairly simplistic... But wil it lead to a design on par with
this level of artistry later down the road? Will this give other anime series an equal chance of being printed? Some other shirts, such as a
Studio Ghibli design and another fairly innocuous anime girl design have been printed before, but this is still relatively new territory for the site. What does the future have in store?
So many exciting things to think about... I'm really curious to hear from everyone here how they perceive this development on a social level. Is this a step in the right direction as far as Dragon Ball becoming less "stigmatized" and more palatable to the mainstream in general? I've seen plenty of official DBZ tees in my day, and most of them look dreadfully gaudy and the people wearing them seem to be (sometimes unfairly) stereotyped a lot in general.... Could stuff like this ending up on "trendy" sites like TeeFury help change that?
