Some years ago i did a special chapter for the webcomic Dragon ball multiverse. After many time, Salagir has published the special, but some of the pages have been left out, so i’ll publish them here. I’ll also compile all the special when its publication ends in DBM. This pages where intended as a reference/parody of the fight between android 17 and Piccolo, since this fight never actually happens in this universe. Maybe that’s why they were left out; DBM readers tend to be extremely picky.
Hace algunos años hice un capitulo especial para el webcomic Dragon ball multiverse. tras mucho tiempo, Salagir ha publicado el capitulo, pero algunas paginas han sido dejadas fuera, así que las publicaré aquí. Cuando el capitulo termine de publicarse en DBM lo recopilaré en mi web. Esta paginas fueron pensadas como referencia/parodia a la pelea del androide 17 vs Piccolo, ya que en este universo nunca pelean. Quizá por eso fueron dejadas fuera; los lectores de DBM son extremadamente puntillosos.
I’m french so sorry if I mispell somethings :
” DBM readers tend to be extremely picky. ” Don’t be shy; some DBM readers are dicks. I know that since I read DMB since years (altough no being the most active reviewer), according to statistics there is a lot of reader who didn’t review, but a lot of the reviewers are dick full of themselves who can’t live without tearing down other. I feel ashame whenever i read there bullshit about special chapter, they can’t enjoy special chapter that are given freely to them, they don’t deerve you.
Your special was neat, I really liked it.
I wish you a happy new year.
Yeah, i’ve tried to not insult them in the face, but really they’re closeminded to the core XD. Every single special, no matter the level of quality, is blasted as “shit” just because the style is not exactly the same as Toriyama (as if toriyama is a master of quality drawing in the first place). Then the first pages everyone complains the fights haven’t come already, and when the fight comes they complain that there are fights and not plot, and if the fight has more than 2 pages then it’s too long and it’s shit. There’s no pleasing those people haha.
I personaly liked that chapter. The sayajins drawning weren’t my favorite but you nailed it with near flawless cyborg ! C17 is really “full of life”. 18 is really beautiful; and lot of pricks said that she was over sexualised, but come on why didn’t they said anything when they saw shirtless sayajins with ripped muscles ? overfeminis is such a pain-trend nowadays… anyway it was a good special; hope they didn’t bothered you too much.
I’m a hentai artist, i don’t know what they expected XD
xD
I am probably classified as one of the “dicks”, but I wouldn’t just talk shit for the sake of it. I work in the creative industry myself, I earn my salary by drawing, so I tend to be a little critical, especially when it comes to consistency. What you are saying about the general readers over at DBM is true, but some things you might want to take on board, just to improve, and get better at what you do – nobody is perfect, and it is sometimes helpful to take away something out of all the criticism. To me personally, the biggest problem was the lack of consistency – most notable with Android 17. Within just a few pages, he looked completely different from panel to panel, different facial structure, and sometimes he looked more feminine than 18 herself. Best example: his head/face on page 1388, middle right panel looks like it belongs to a woman, while the first panel on the next page looks like a young girl, and the fourth panel on the same page (1389) looks like a guy. Things like that can take the readers out of the experience… The attention to detail is also a crucial point – It bugged me all the way how you drew 17’s eyes dark, even though you clearly distinguish dark eyes from blue ones (18’s are clearly light coloured). Or very big mistakes of anatomy also fall under this category – The bottom right corner of 1391 – Piccolo’s neck is very shocking. I am not saying everyone always should deliver 100% accurate anatomical drawings, this is not the style we are talking about, but it is about consistency again – Piccolo doesn’t look like that at all on your other drawings… These are come from a good place, not trying to be a “dick” or anything. I just believe in criticism, that’s all. (What I don’t believe in is calling something names without any explanation or advice)
