Vegeta Redraw

Hola a todos, como todos sabrán, hoy nos enteramos de la partida del maestro Akira Toriyama y en este momento soy un mar de lágrimas, ya que él es mi ÍDOLO y mi inspiración para dibujar. Por eso quiero agradecerle por darme la mejor infancia que pude tener y le debo todo lo que soy ahora. Ahora él está con Kaiosama cuidándonos desde el cielo. Dibujé a Vegeta una semana atrás y no sabía si dibujarlo a él o -irónicamente- a Goku ángel, pero me decidí por Vegeta porque esta escena es una de mis favoritas... Espero que les guste, y la historia de Dragon Ball ha llegado a su fin...

Q.E.P.D Akira Toriyama 1955-2024.

Recently, the legendary Akira Toriyama passed away. Even though he is well known for Dragon Ball, I actually liked his other creation, the Slime from the Dragon Quest games. I remember playing one of the Dragon Quest games on the Game Boy and this Slime was my first Monster to join my party. To me it was like, the Pikachu of the game. I know Goku is Toriyama's popular creation, but I have a soft spot for the simple design of the Slime. Plus, it was easy to draw, since I don't have plenty of free time on my hands these days :(

Rest in peace Akira Toriyama, you will be missed.

Rest in Peace, Akira Toriyama🕊

Remembering Akira Toriyama

On March 1st, 2024, legendary mangaka Akira Toriyama passed away due to acute subdural hematoma. He was just sixty-eight years old. His most famous creation, Dragon Ball, has had a profound effect on the anime and manga industry as a whole. Without it, we wouldn't have had series such as Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, One Piece, or many others. On top of how inspirational as a series Dragon Ball has been, it's shaped the childhoods of many kids all over the world, me being one such kid.

Toriyama is one of the few famous deaths that has actually brought me to tears, the only others being Satoshi Kon and Satoru Iwata. Losing Toriyama, for me, was such a sudden and devastating revelation and if I had never gotten into Dragon Ball Z when I was a kid, I don't know if I ever would have become an artist or writer. While I have had many inspirations for becoming an artist/writer, such as Yoshihiro Togashi, creator of Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter, Masashi Kishimoto, creator of Naruto, and Eiichiro Oda, creator of One Piece, it was Toriyama and Dragon Ball which really helped to show me the path I wanted my life to go on. While writing Dragon's World, I've gotten comments from readers who've told me that there were moments where they were reminded of Dragon Ball and with Dragon Ball being one of, if not my biggest inspiration for becoming both a writer and an artist, those comments, to me, are not just some of my favorites that I've ever received, I find them to be some of the highest praise I've gotten.

Alongside Dragon Ball, Toriyama's other works such as Sand Land, which has both a game and an anime series coming out, and Dr. Slump show just how funny and imaginative Toriyama was. His paneling was always so clean and any action scenes were always easy to read and his characters, while not always the deepest, were always full of life and made the series they starred in so much fun to read.

Like many other kids who grew up on DBZ, I also tried on so many occasions to do a Kamehameha or go Super Saiyan. I remember when I saw the episode where Gohan was teaching Videl how to fly and she was focusing her energy into her palms, I tried to do the same, thinking it would help me to fly, too. When a new VHS (yes, we are going back that far) and later, DVD of DBZ would be released, I would beg my grandma or my mom to buy it for me. The same way true for when new Dragon Ball Z action figures would come out. I had to have them all, and I think I actually did have most of them. Then, at fifteen, I sold them because I thought, "I'm going into high school. I need to be a big boy and big boys don't have toys". Heh. Funny how well that thought process aged. Especially since now, I'm trying to find those same figures from my childhood so I can buy them again.

I would often recreate the fights and adventures Goku and his friends went on with these figures I bought, and sometimes, I would make up my own stories. One that I can always immediately recall was Goku and the gang fighting a group that used a seal similar to The Seal of Orichalcos from Yu-Gi-Oh! (also, RIP to Takahashi-senpai) and just like the Seal of Orichalcos, whoever lost that fight would lose their soul, too. Granted, the stories I came up with back then weren't good (I mean, they came from the mind of a little kid, so please be a bit gentle on me), but when you're an Elementary schooler/early middle schooler, they feel like something incredible. It's like you're getting to contribute to this world you've come to know and love and yet, you're the only one who truly knows about said contribution. In a way, it's a really special feeling.

Call me a weeb if you want for saying this, but to me, Toriyama wasn't just another creator. He wasn't just another storyteller. He was my sensei. He was my biggest inspiration and the person who got me to realize where I wanted my life to go. That I wanted to be a writer and an artist. That I had stories I wanted to share with others. Toriyama was someone I always wanted to meet and, I guess now I'll have to wait until I get to Other World myself to get that chance.

Thank you for everything, Akira Toriyama. Thank you for showing me who I was meant to be. Thank you for Dragon Ball and for allowing it to be such a staple of my childhood. I'll be hoping your family is doing well and are remaining strong in these times. May you rest in peace.

Akira Toriyama was the sole reason I wanted to pursue a career in art, his work and his passion gave me the drive to be just like him, he shaped my childhood and my style.

Rest in peace, Toriyama. Your loss will leave a wound in all you inspired.

honestly, i was never a huge fan of dragon ball when i was a kid, and i didn't really understand it, but one little superpowered monkey-alien boy inspired by the story of sun wukong kinda... got me into anime and manga besides pokemon. i feel nostalgia for a show i never really understood, but the nostalgia is still there anyways, because i loved dragon ball and dragon ball z. and though i never tried to draw goku or any of the characters from the series, i was still inspired by it.

rest in peace, mr. akira toriyama. thank you for inspiring me to draw comics and my silly little guys.

Of all the cartoons I've seen in my life, Dragon Ball Z was the one that resonated with me the most, as well as it resonated with hundreds of millions of people in the world. A work that was a turning point in art and culture. Rest in peace, Akira Toriyama. You'll always be in our hearts.

Farewell and Thank you Akira Toriyama

This is a tribute to a Legend, the man who created one of the biggest and best anime franchise. Akira Toriyama, may you rest in peace.

(Also the art looks sideways for some reason)

(Also the gang's pretty sad even though I kinda messed up in the line art)

Wanted to draw something that celebrates everything I love about Toriyama's artwork - the fun, joy and sense of adventure in every drawing. His art never fails to make me smile.

Sayonara Toriyama - thank you for everything you gave us!
