My tribute to Akira Toriyama. 🧡

To the anime that has inspired millions and got me places with my art in so many ways. (And yes, it’s the reason why I started to like drawing muscles so much lol)

Endless thanks to Akira Toriyama for everything.

Live your life like a Kamehameha. Give your all, don’t ever give up. ✨🐉✨

DBZ is the last thing I remember my brothers and I getting together to watch. I remember our dad letting us stay up on summer nights to watch episodes. We're older now, and we haven't watched a series together in a while as time brought changes, but our love for it is still there. The last thing Goku said to us back then was "Until we meet again!" and that's how I try to see the end of things. Thank you Akira Toriyama for inspiring a whole generation to love, fight, and create new beginnings. Thank you for those happy memories I got to share with my brothers.

I found this old drawing of son goku I did 9 years ago, I think this was when I wanted to draw just like him at that point, and so I thought "hey how about I redraw this?"…

…and so I did.

Thank you for everything, Toriyama. I'll be seeing you on the other world.

Can't really express how grateful I am to Toriyama. He influenced a large chunk of my childhood, as well as influenced so many pieces of art I love. It's late, but I wanted to share my tribute to him. Hopefully he can see everything everyone's made and I feel our spirit energy, wherever he is now.

Two proud, fierce, spiky-haired warriors face each other across a rocky chasm… but why do they both feel so strangely familiar to the other?! A battle for honour is surely about to begin!

Through Dragonball, Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, Akira Toriyama had a massive influence on my childhood. I think it’s also pretty fair to say that Pokemon, and especially Lance, would not be the same without his stylistic influence on Ken Sugimori’s early work. So, for all the thrills and inspiration, both to myself and many others, thank you so much Toriyama-san, and rest in peace.

I had so much fun designing a Toriyama-style DBZ design for Lance, putting in a bit of flavour from both his Gen 1 red biker and Gen 2 pointed armour looks. The dramatic cape flourish also pulls a bit from his HGSS art pose, just for fun (and flair)

I learnt a lot picking apart and studying different Dragonball panels and colour spreads to make this crossover tribute, but perhaps the most striking thing was re-reading chunks of DBZ and realising just how good at weekly pulp adventure story pacing Toriyama was.

I already knew he had perhaps the best grasp of dynamic, crystal clear action panelling in the business, but his ability to pace out a weekly story and always have some new twist or wrinkle while maintaining a solid, driving central narrative really stood out to me this time. And that’s not even mentioning all the ad-libbing!

One of the greatest to ever do it in so very many different ways - I am sure his work will continue to inspire not just artists in our current generation, but many young artists in the future as well.

Thank you Toriyama-sensei for what you've given to this world. Not just with Dragon Ball but for greatly influencing Pokemon as well. I will be forever grateful.

A bit late and I wasn't even sure if I can make a tribute art for Akira Toriyama, but here's a quick sketch.

My taste in men started when I chose Vegeta over Goku :)))

For this tribute art, I wasn't sure if I'd copy Toriyama-sensei's art style like how I used to draw DBZ fanart in grade school, or go with my own. ^^;

My introduction to Dragon Ball was through my cousins, but my memories of that are vague, and it wasn't until I was in grade school where one of the more mainstream local channels started airing Dragon Ball in Filipino dub that I got into it, and it was then that I understood why my cousins are so into it. I also remember watching a DBZ movie (tho I don't remember which movie was it because I was still not very familiar with Dragon Ball at that time) with my aunt, cousin, and a family friend's son in a theater. DBZ was a big hit in the country that not only it attracted male fans, but also female fans thanks to the likes of Vegeta and Trunks, haha! In grade school, I remember having friends debating on who the best DBZ guy is between Vegeta and Trunks, and also discuss about what happened in the last episode. It made us go home early to catch it on TV and look forward to school the next day to talk about it. This was a time before mobile phones and social media. I also used to make fanmade DBZ comic strips (like what I still do now haha!) on the back of my notebook or on a piece of paper, then share it to my friends. Fast forward to high school when I managed to get a copy of Chrono Trigger. When I found out that it was the same person who made Dragon Ball and the characters for Chrono Trigger, I was in awe. I never thought that a comic creator can also be an artist for a game. I went, "Damn I wanna be like that, too. Make comics and characters for games! I wanna be just like Akira Toriyama!" And that's how Akira Toriyama has inspired me. I took art seriously and took it as a degree along with game development. Now here I am, making my own comics, and have made character and mecha designs for games.

It is undeniable that Toriyama-sensei is a huge influence for creatives.

Thank you very much for your work, and for being an inspiration to many!
