Description
Wow, I didn't notice that it has been practically a year since I started drawing the old comic I stopped doing a few months ago. Around a while back, the 11th of October to be exact, was the same day I began drawing DBFC last year(this site has it uploaded around February but before I came to DA to add it, it was originally just shown to members on other sites in October last year). Wow time goes by fast, still can't believe how much I improved my art skills since then(although I still fail compared to everyone else, sniff).Anyways this picture is a "What if I continued it" type of thing, this would be the part where I'd have Sora(randomly having a rip off of SSJ Goku's hairstyle, I got carried away, hehe) transformed and beating the first major villain I was going to introduce. Also, does anyone hate the last panel at the bottom as much as I do?
I'd like to think my old comic was just simple practice for the future one I'm doing and will add soon, promise.
I'll miss DBFC, October 11, 2007 - June 9, 2008 (OVER DRAMATIC FTW!)

This actually reminds of the good ol dragonball manga's drawn by mr AT himself.
You need some eyes in that last panel.

Usually when I do eyes added in from that angle, it looks messed up because people would think the eye from that view is going close to his ear, lol. I noticed AT doesn't add them from that angle as well most of the time.

That angle just doesn't look right to me.
I draw manga myself. I think you and I could learn from eachother. I'd like to hear some critics from you on my pages.
Have a look see, if you like!

Sure thing. Also I see what you mean, I think the issue on why it doesn't look why is because I added the nose's shape at the end, usually from that angle, I shouldn't do that if I want to keep the eyes hidden.

I think you're right. But you can do alot with the shading too.

Yeah. Also, do you think that white lighting looks ok in the last panel. I'm not sure if it works well considering AT never did much of a 3-way coloring for skin/clothes/etc. when he did his colored manga pages(the normal color spreads or posters did have a lot more lighting and shading though). So I'm not sure if adding that white lighting was a good idea.

The "problem" is, you have techniques available, that AT didn't have back then.

XD
Although AT could've tried that out if he wanted to, all he needed to do was not paint those spots at all and ta-da, white lighting. He did that for SSJ goku's posters during the SSJ Goku vs Freeza chapters.

Probably =]
I often wonder, what Akira is capable of nowadays!
"Making" a new dragonball special, dragonball online,
blue dragon series and sequel, dragon quest 9.
He created an empire. He has my respect!
Chrono Trigger and the entire dragonball series need to be remade!

He's already finished with the special, although he didn't do art for it really besides most likely Table's and the other new character's designs. he just offered the story for it I think, really. Be sure to visit JUMPland's website on the 24th, they're going to stream it internationally for everyone to watch.
Chrono Trigger's coming out in a few days now, as a port for the DS though, can't wait to do the wifi stuff!
For AT's skills though, check out DQ's cover art or DB's Kanzenban cover's re-released volumes. He shades so differently now, it looks way better and more epic. He uses photoshop and painter on the comp than actual paint by hand these days.

I pretty much know all of that stuff too
Will you remind me again with a note, the 24th? That would be awesome!
The remake of chrono trigger for the DS isn't on PS3 and that's my problem
You know bout kajika, sandland, cashman and of course the neko's?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, although I didn't read most of them(I might later on though when I feel like it, lol). I've read all the Neko Majin manga though. Neko Majin Z's manga parts are my favorite though.

You know where to find Sandland?
I'd like to read into that one. Been looking for a while. I live in Belgium btw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well usually you can find AT manga on sites such as mangavolume or some other scanlated sites. If you want the actual book, I can't really help since here, you'd have to actually order from SJ to receive 'em.
I could check my local library for some Sandland volumes but I think they only 2 AT manga series, DB and Dr. Slump lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dr. Slump i never got to read 2. I read the 2 first chapters or something. I remember something with a bear.
You got a Dr. Slump anime too. But they discontinued it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. Dr. Slump was really interesting, Arale's funny, I was happy to see the Slump characters get a cameo in Dragon Ball during the General Blue parts.

Damn. He ripped off his antennas (or whatever you call 'em).

It's good, the colours are all spot on.
The characters do look a little too young though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it's good you notice Sora being young looking, but yeah, The Namek does look a bit young.
Although I don't think that's such a bad thing for the Namek considering I never thought of situations based on his age, he was going to be there for the sake of being the villain and that was it.

I have a hard time even planing out what I want in a comic/manga of any kind. You got my respect man, that takes both skill and good planning out skills.
