I made this artwork in 2022 for Toontober, but ended up using his blue uniform for Kid Goku. I figured I'd share it here since this version hasn't been used.

I also wanted to post this in honor of Akira Toriyama who passed away recently.


R.I.P. Akira Toriyama (1955-2024)
I recently found out about it this morning. One of the GJ users posted about it. It's very sad and unfortunate. It was found out that he died on March 1st, 2024. His family did a private funeral. That's why no one knew about it until they made announcement about it. His works were very creative. He was 68 years old. He has certainly left a legacy and inspired a lot of artists and anime.

I started watching the Dragon Ball series back in 2022. I had a friend back in high school who was a big fan of DBZ. He would talk about it all the time. I wasn't interested in it back then, but I would still listen to him talk about it. I did know a few things from the show. It wasn't until recent years that I decided to watch the show. I watched Dragon Ball and then DBZ. I need to go back and finish DBZ.

Watching Dragon Ball had a "sense of adventure" when Goku was just a kid. Trying to collect all the dragon balls. Toriyama had a lot of creative ideas and awesome worldbuilding in the world of Dragon Ball.

Then I started watching DBZ. It just got better and better. Fun fighting scenes. Interesting character arcs, etc. I ended where Gohan is now a teen and has his alter ego, the Great Saiyaman, and then I took a break watching the show. Now I just need to go back and finish it.

I'm curious how the Dragon Ball will continue on. I heard that supposedly Toriyama has already found someone to continue the series before he passed away. I guess we'll see how things will go for the future of Dragon Ball.

May Akira Toriyama rest in peace and my condolences go towards his family. Thank you for creating such a unique series and inspiring others to create their own stories.

The crossover I wanna see is Sonic the Hedgehog and Crash Bandicoot. It would be kind of challenging to figure out how to make the gameplay work, but it would be cool to see. Plus, I think Sonic and Crash would totally get along with each other. #GJAsks

Here's Knuckles! I saw the promotional artwork of Knuckles wearing his hat from the Sonic OVA movie. I just had to make it! I had a lot fun drawing Knux! #FanArtFriday

Here's Kirby using his Sword ability. I like how his hat and sword look similar to Link's hat and the Master Sword. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Zelda reference. #FanArtFriday #Kirby #Kirbyfanart #fanart #digitalart

I wanted to remaster, an older piece of mine. How did I do? Tap/swipe to see the piece I created a whole year ago in January of 2023!

There's a lot of games that I've replayed. If I were to pick one it would be the CTR: Nitro-Fueled. That game was so fun to play. Man, the support for that remake ended too soon. Only just 1 year of support. #GJAsks

"I get it now."

Here's the making of Sword Kirby drawing! #FanArtFriday #Kirby #Kirbyfanart #fanart #digitalart #SwordKirby #digitalart You can also view this on my YouTube channel as well. https://youtu.be/avMnFXLokPs?si=AsOyWHHXAMUTWkZw

I really don't have a favorite because I haven't played it yet. 😅

I do like Legos. I've played other Lego games, but not this one. Hopefully, someday, I'll get the chance to play Lego Star Wars video game.

My first Star Wars movie was Star Wars: A New Hope. I was first exposed to it by watching it on TV or on VHS. (I don't remember it's been a long time ago.) I watched it at home with my family during the 90's.
