The lineart is from Toyble's awesome manga, Dragonball AF. [link]
I really loved this shot.

I redraw the lineart, created colors and mixed different caps I did of Dragonball Z backgrounds to create this one, to fit with the original picture of Toyble.

LINK TO THE OTHER VERSION I DID, WITH AN ANIME-ADAPTATION OF TOYBLE'S ORIGINAL COLOR DESIGN : [link]

For Zike's colors, I decided to keep some of Toyble's choices, but to change some others.
I turned his hair from grey to blue-grey (more like his kaioshin mother). For his skin, as the son of Goku and Raila, I gave him a peculiar tone. For the shoes, I tried to keep it harmonic compared to the rest. A little bit of grey to give an echo to the hair, and a dark color because it gives stability to the character.

update comment :
I really dislike the fact of using green for Zike, that's really not the way I see him.
As he is a sort of manipulated-evil version of Goku, I thought he needed a kind of devil look. Keep the grey hair, but red and black.
And as red and black are already the colors of C-17, I choose little variations.

This final result is really what I had in mind.

Don't hesitate to look for translations of Toyble's manga, you can find those all over the web! He's gifted!
