I've never planned or wanted to be an artist back in the day. Due to strong passion for DragonBall Z series, that comes from early 2003, I've got myself interested in game design and later on in 2005 I've finally got myself into art completely.

I'm very grateful to Akira Toriyama for his unique artistry that helped and inspired me so much.

Just because of him, I've decided to put all my heart into art someday and one day settle down as artist and live life by that.

To mark this, I've decided to draw something, that might inspire someone else and to show gratitude that I feel towards Akira.

Thanks again.

Here is the work I'm working on. Any crits, suggestions would be appreciated.

Peace&respect.
Ram.

Nice work Ramunas. Do continue.

Update, dear people

I like the little intro in the first post.

The pose is kind of bland. I think you should focus on getting a good drawing/sketch down first in some sort dynamic pose before tinkering with the shadowing too much.

Well, TRL, I'm terrible in perspective drawing, if you really wanted to hear that .

I'm drawing a neutral, simple standing pose from front. Lightning source can come from anywhere, if I'm correct

Somewhat like this.

okay that's cool, whatever you want to do.

But don't say you're terrible without trying it.

Thanks brother for the support, I will definitely do some tryout drawing after I finish this piece

Peace&respect.

The only thing I dislike is that he looks hunched over. Other than that, it's great!

Hmm something about the face seems off, perhaps the expression.

The-kakarotto ? loooooooong time no see
Ramunas try adding some dynamic colors, that character looks like standing for a photo no offense

Updates?

I'd change the expression, Dragon Ball Z characters are usually frown, especially if they're ssjs, but in your drawing Goku looks calmed, his attitude is not like that

Saturday, November 20, 2010

remember Goku mastered Super Saiyan 2 and 1 and he behaved normall in the Super Saiyan in cell saga and in Super Saiyan 2 on the Buu saga , onl on the android and Namek saga he changed his attitude when in Super Saiyan :p so what if Ramunas drew a Buu saga one , but you got a point

Saturday, November 20, 2010

If it was Buu saga style why would be Goku transformed? Maybe because he looks cooler?

Saturday, November 20, 2010

the answer lyes in the heart of Ramunas sounds fimmiliar ?

Saturday, November 20, 2010

Thanks everyone for their kind comments and crits. I'm doing my best to make it angry, but first I wanted to see him crying and sad.

And I drew him in Super Saiyan, because I like simply like him in that form.

Here is version of Goku crying

Peace&respect.

Some small progress

Monday, November 22, 2010

Are his eyebrows green ? I like the blur effect, keep going !

Monday, November 22, 2010

Thanks for a good notice, fellow malek! I will be sure to fix his brows. For some reasons, I thought his eyebrows are the same as his eyes. Thanks again

Peace&respect.

Nice work there. Just check the head to shoulder length ratio.

For some reason? - his eyes ARE same as his eyebrows

Hey Ram, it's been so long since I did anything in Photoshop so I decided to go and mess around a bit on your work.

Aside from some proportions, a striking thing you see I changed was the color balance. You need a lot more contrast in your shadows. On top of that what creates a nice touch is using a different hue for your shadows. In this case the shadow for his red gi became a dark purple instead of a dark red. Same thing for the skin a dark red instead of a dark orange. It instantly vivids up the piece.

Maybe I got a little too carried away, but it's a simple case of example by exaggeration. Cheers.

Woah that's awesome TRL.
