Akira Toriyama's work was, for me and many others, a major formative influence on art style, character design, and all around creativity.
Some of my earliest passion for drawing came from doodling Dragon Ball OCs at school, and trying to replicate the dynamic poses and fights from the manga and anime.
His ability to interchange so well between goofy and serious tones, and introduce endearing and interesting characters, was consistently impressive.
His legacy will endure across many mediums, stories, and childhoods.
