Toriyama's early draft sketches of Dragon Ball characters

[jollyr]

So i dont know how to post pics but have you guys seen the sketches Toriyama did for his first and second draft of DB? In the first they look like journey to the west characters and the second is just Goku and Bulma who look slightly different. You can see them on Bulma and Gokus pages on the Dragon Ball wiki can someone please post them here so others can see? But anyways my question is do we have anymore info on these first drafts and are there other pics other than those three? And would you guys love an ova or manga based on the first draft as much as i would?? Id also love wukong as an alternate outfit in a videogame.

As far as I'm aware, that's all they are: just sketches. It never went beyond that. Daizenshuu 2 ("Story Guide") showcases them:



In terms of Dragon Ball and how it actually came to be, our own SaiyaJedi wrote some great articles in "DB30YEARS" (our 30th anniversary magazine) regarding some of the progenitors to the series with character designs and story elements Toriyama basically ripped wholesale from himself to use in Dragon Ball. Definitely check that out .
