I made this artwork in 2022 for Toontober, but I ended up using the blue uniform for Kid Goku instead. I figured I'd share it here since this version hasn't been used.

I also posted this a few months back, in honor of Akira Toriyama who passed away this year. 😔

R.I.P. Akira Toriyama (1955-2024)
I recently found out about it this morning. One of the GJ users posted about it. It's very sad and unfortunate. It was found out that he died on March 1st, 2024. His family did a private funeral. That's why no one knew about it until they made announcement about it. His works were very creative. He was 68 years old. He has certainly left a legacy and inspired a lot of artists and anime.

I started watching the Dragon Ball series back in 2022. I had a friend back in high school who was a big DBZ fan. He would talk about it all the time. I wasn't interested in it back then, but I would still listen to him talk about it. I did know a few things from the show. It wasn't until recent years that I decided to watch the show. I watched Dragon Ball and then DBZ. I need to go back and finish DBZ.

Watching Dragon Ball had a "sense of adventure" when Goku was just a kid. Trying to collect all the dragon balls. Toriyama had a lot of creative ideas and awesome worldbuilding in the world of Dragon Ball.

May Akira Toriyama rest in peace and my condolences go towards his family. Thank you, Mr. Toriyama, for creating such a unique series and inspiring others to create their own stories.
