Toriyama draws for other franchises

Post by DBZGTKOSDH » Sun Oct 07, 2012 8:00 am

I have seen drawings of Naruto & Luffy by Toriyama. For which other franchises has Toriyama made drawing?
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 don't think there is for Naruto, and I don't know for One Piece. As for any other franchise... That's exactly what I'm asking! :mrgreen:

Toriyama recently did one for Jojo's bizarre adventure: http://www.deculture.es/wp-content/uplo ... enture.jpg

If I recall, Daizex had a section with other artists' interpretation of DBZ.

Let's see, other than ones already mentioned, there's the tribute he did for Masakazu Katsura's Shadow Lady, an image Ryo for the KochiKame 30th anniversary, and there's this image of Chibi-Maruko-chan.

I'm sure there are plenty more from the countless anniversaries for popular titles or artists.

I'd like to see a Toriyama take on Fullmetal Alchemist and a Arakawa take on Dragon Ball.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I agree with this 100%! Haha, I'd like to see Toriyama do an interpretation of Death Note, that would be interesting considering the contrast in styles.

Whoa, I'd never seen the Shadow Lady art before, awesome find. Kind of odd he did that one, since that's hardly Katsura's biggest title...based on the text and page layout though, I'm guessing this is from a Katsura artbook or something?

The Maruko-chan one looks like Nakatsuru's art to me; I could be wrong though.

Ninja!Goku (or Goten? The black long-sleeved top makes me think Goten) looks cool.

His Luffy is interesting in that it's definitely Luffy, but he also looks like he could blend into DB world more easily.

Wonder if that picture means he was one of the few who liked The Phantom Menace.

...I don't dislike it. :P

I think it actually mentions in a translation that he watched it for the machines and robots rather than the humans.:lol: Given that he came from a mechanical back ground and loves working on vehicles, this isn't surprising.

I'd wanna see him take on Hellsing and have Kouta Hirano do a take on Dragon Ball.

Imagine Alucard and Goku in the other's respective art style...

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Toriyama's drawings look all really nice and cutey. Wish someone more capable like him had worked on One Piece animation.
