Description STEP INTO IT   

I finally watched Dragon Ball GT for the first time ever. And I am so, so glad I did. It's been a mystical adventure, a fantastic journey of my dreams I loved it LOVED IT AH GT IS SO GOOD SO SO GOOD. When I was a kid, and GT first aired on Toonami, I HATED IT I remember only watching one episode (all I remember is it was about Baby) and I just couldn't stand it compared to DB and Z, I don't know why, but because of that I never gave it a chance as a child. Honestly, I am glad I did. Getting to watch GT now in it's proper format with the japanese audio (dub though) and with all of the episodes actually shown, it was incredible. I LOVE IT WITH ALL MY DAN DAN KOKORO

I really don't get the hate the fans give GT, like at all. The entire run of the show was great, there was never once a dull moment or episode, it's amazing how cohesive the entire series felt, a perfect mesh of the adventure roots of Dragon Ball with the, uh, shonen tropes haha of Z. I'm not exaggerating when I say that season 1 of DB GT might be the most engaged I've ever been watching a series in my life, it was literally perfect to me, if anything the only flaw I could find is the grand tour through space didn't last long enough I was so worried it was going to come to a close! But Baby's assault on Earth was a magnificently engaging segue and I wasn't bothered at all, even the low-point of the show (Super 17 Saga) was still great, and once again a great way to make the show a tribute of sorts to Dragon Ball as a whole while being magnificently unique and entertaining and creative. Seeing so many old forgotten faces show up like Android 8 and Major Metallitron just brought such a smile to my face! The whole show was rife with moments like that, it's the most comfortable show I can think of and it makes me so happy just thinking of GT. The soundtrack, the characters, it's Dragon Ball concluded right, I've always hated how Z chose to finish the series off. Though GT's ending is similar it's handled much more tactfully, and beautifully, so beautiful that when the montage began at the end of the final episode I just started crying like a baby, Dragon Ball, Z, and GT, it's been a huge part of my life and one I'm glad to finally have fully gone through to the end. I love Dragon Ball GT...

I basically have everybody from the show in here, barring exceptions like all the old villains in Hell for example. I wanted to make it like a visual plot map of the series, start from the bottom of the page with Ultimate Shenron making Goku into a child again, then follow the dragon through the grand tour of space, a stop at Imecka with Don Kee and Ledgic, go to Gelbo with Zoonama shakin up some trouble, Mouma and the Para Para Brothers lead us to Monmaasu where the friendly Giant (I LOVE HIM SO MUCH) is enjoying the alien lilliputians, go to Planet Luud where Mutchy Mutchy and Dolltaki grow their cult to power the evil Lord Luud, then finally we blast into Planet M2, where we confront Dr. Myuu's sinister Machine Mutant army. The Sigma Force, General Rildo, and Myuu himself there. Myuu's ultimate creation and master himself, Baby then rears his ugly head, or Vegeta's giant forehead we should say. He's monkeyin' around, with Super Saiyan 4 Goku. The gates of Hell then open themselves above Earth and the New Tuffle Planet, CAN YOU NAME ALL THIRTEEN DRAGON BALL VILLAINS IN HELL?? Then lastly, the Shadow Dragons begin their devastation of the Planet Earth, with the final boss, Omega Shenron himself front and center ready to taint the entire universe himself with his negative poison.

I have been holding off for months from drawing anything related to GT, I was so in love with the series right from the first episode that I knew something special was going to come out of my for it once I finished the series. Initially, I was to make this same drawing as a collab with chanchimi but because of reasons I ended up just tackling this drawing all by myself (BUT keep an eye out for a GT collab from us in the future adklsfmldsfk)  Until then, check out my tribute drawing to the Frieza Saga if you haven't!!

 

I seriously could gush nonstop about GT forever here, (lord knows some people have had to deal with that from me for months now) but I'll leave it as is. I hope there are other GT fans here on DA, and if you're not in the party that likes GT I hope you can at least still enjoy this piece. I'm sorry that you've been treated pretty rough even from the get-go GT, consider this a gift from me to you for all the joy you gave me as a series.

Dragon Ball belongs to Akira Toriyama, Funimation, uhh Toie... Probably lots of other people I should credit too HAHA.

Glad to see I am not alone! Super has seemed to make a lot more people lately tel me GT isn't as bad as they remember it being, and I'm very glad. It never deserved the hate! I agree with you, the Baby Saga is one of the best in the series to me!

GT was pretty cool to watch. And the Super Saiyan 4 form is awesome. The Super Saiyan 4 is also one of the last true Super Saiyan transformations, fusing the original Super Saiyan with the Great Ape. The rest of the Super Saiyan transformations after Super Saiyan 4 were recolors from that point on. Super Saiyan God didn't look like a 'God' at all just a fusion of False Super Saiyan and the Kaio-ken and Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan looked like Super Saiyan 1 with blue hair color.

GT was the last great Dragonball anime to come out of Japan. When Super came out 20 years after the end of GT, the classic Dragonball animation from the first three Dragonball anime series just went down the toilet. Super looked worse than GT which told me that Akira had lost his old classic anime drawing style.
It's a pity. Had Akira not retired for 20 years after the end of GT, then Super probably would've been a awesome series.

Crap... Really good point HAAHHAA WELL maybe it's a Garlic Jr from one of the other multiverses established in BotG since since the one I drew is the tiny version of Garlic and the one at the end of Dead Zone was his big guy form YES that's the excuse I'm going with

God you'd think right? Sadly it isn't the case HAHA things like this can get so tiring for me, if you think this is big, just wait for my next huge project. I'm planning to make a big drawing for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure once I'm caught up with the manga (currently at Part V), and my idea is to make a drawing that's the same size and scale as this one here FOR EACH VOLUME OF JOJO and they will all make one big picture in the end so I literally will be making something of this size EIGHT TIMES kill me

YES!!! *O* This was my first and to date only Daily Deviation, it was so freaking exciting!!! Thank you so much!! I will do my best, TO EARN ANOTHER no matter what it takes! XD Always aim for the stars!

Ahaaaa~ Thank you so much!!! >v< This one took like, an entire week or two to make from what I recall it was so much work! XD I'm glad it all pays off though and I can hear nice stuff like this ;v; I'm planning a similar drawing to this one, that's gonna be fan-art of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure once I'm fully caught up with the manga, only instead THAT DRAWING is going to be something equal to this thing for each volume, so it's gonna be, like, the amount of work this took times eight GOD I don't even want to think about how long that one is going to take me adklfmdsf

I just wish I could make stuff like these with my actual characters already, the only thing stopping me is most of the big stories of mine I wanna make big drawings like this for are stuff full of spoilers I don't wanna give out X__X NO FAIR why do webcomics need to take years to do! XD

I can't decide whether I love this because it covers basically everything that is the over the topness of GT or hate it for the artistic style...I'm going to say that I'm simply very okay with this .

BLARGEN69 In reply to MegaMANDEV [2014-07-19 04:31:31 +0000 UTC]

Haha that's fair! I personally hold he belief that I am wasting my time doing fan-art if I were to just emulate Toriyama's style, there's no purpose to it for me if I don't take my own personal stylistic spin on it. It's a shame that nobody else out there seems to care about GT enough to have made such all-encompassing of the series fan pieces like this in a style faithful to DB though, there's barely any GT fan-art to speak of of high quality.

MegaMANDEV In reply to BLARGEN69 [2014-07-19 04:44:38 +0000 UTC]

I'm not surprised, a lot of people dog the series or will straight up act like it never happened. Too bad, it did, Goku and Vegeta both went badass Super Saiyan 4, defeated by far the strongest villain they've ever come across, sent souls back to hell by rekilling them, and just generally being awesome . I think I still personally love all the insanity they had to go through just to kill Buu at the end of Z, but GT was still completely worth going through.
