A surprise birthday drawing for a mate at work. He's a huge Dragonball Z fan and frankly any character would have made him happy but I went with Krillan purely because I'm on a tight deadline and those pointy haircut on the other characters are a headache to get right.

The anatomy was awkward because the original designs are just so weird. As a result this is a compromise between Toriyama's designs and a vague attempt at actual muscle structure. Or something.

Two days work, now back to drawing comics!

Weeeelll... The foreshortening on his left arm is a little weird, his fingers on his left hand wouldn't really be that visible cos his palm should be flatter at that angle and his right ankle looks twisted.

If I'd had more time it would've got fixed.

hehe awesome! The inking as usual is great in its detail! Toriama's work is always very compact, I think thats why I like it so much haha

Toriyama gets written off sometimes cos his stuff is everywhere and DBZ is still a big deal in some places but his actual idea's are visually very cool.

I really dig his earlier stuff before everything got so angular and stream lined. I can't draw those Saiyan haircuts no matter how hard I try!

Yeah me too, I particularly like his earlier work like Dr Slump/early Dragon Ball, his character designs have so much personality purely in visuals! He did a very short comic called Cowa which I own, thats really nice as its very recent but Toriama has gone back to his older style and character designs somewhat :)

That looks cool man. Though the 23 sticks out in this like a sore thumb =P But I know it's your thing and I can't think of anywhere else to put it =P

Unrelated, how is FD 3 coming? I need to visit my friends in Derby at some point so when I do maybe I can some how pick one up then, if it's done that is.

I couldn't resist with the 23! Fecal Depot 3 is now out and came out last November. It's the final issue and I still have a few copies left.

I'll be selling it at the Leeds Thought Bubble and London Comiket which are both in November. If you can't make it or it's too long a wait then message me and we'll see what I can do!
