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.

Toontober Day 27 - Dipper & Mabel (2020)

Gravity Falls was another great show.

Made in Photoshop CS5

Original Text from DA: I thought it was cute seeing these two dressed up as peanut butter and jelly. :3

Toontober Day 28 - Chuckie Finster (2020)

Rugrats was another childhood favorite show of mine. First time drawing Chuckie. I just figured I'd keep the background simple and that it will help Chuckie stand out more.

Toontober Day 29 - SpongeBob (2020)

The SpongeBob SquarePants movie was so fun and silly. I figured I draw one of the outfits that SpongeBob wore during the Goofy Goober scenes. He looks so dapper in this outfit. Another fun drawing of Toontober.

Simple doodle, idk anymore

What's Your Favorite Indie Game? #GJAsks

I really don't have a favorite. I will share a game that I do like.

The Big Catch: Tackle Box demo. The full game doesn't come out until later this year, but it's a fun and challenging, precise platformer.

Game Jolt Colors is back!

Draw your OC (or favorite character) in the Game Jolt color palette and post them in the Art realm with the tag #GameJoltColors25.

At the end of the event, we'll pick a winner & add their design to the GJ Colors sticker pack!

It's finally here! A NEW video! https://youtu.be/52odrwWzk38

A video where I talk about the upcoming DK Bananza game, a little theorizing, and my hopes for the game.

I wanted to release this much sooner, but the video took longer than expected to make.

Toontober Day 30 - Garfield (2020)

He may be a lazy cat, but it's never a dull moment with Garfield. Getting close to finish uploading Toontober 2020 artwork. Only one more to go!

Made in Photoshop CS5

Original Text: America's favorite fat cat.

Random hell I drew while I was literally on the other continent for a week (I was too lazy again to translate 2 last panels)

Happy Belated Video Game Day!!

One of my favorite video games is The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. #MyFavoriteGame.
