Description

Not gonna lie, Vegeta, dick move.

I could think of all sorts of stories that could be behind this scene. But, I believe it will be more fun to leave it in your capable hands to figure out what is going on here.


New style was fun. Broke out another trial version of OpenCanvas for the first time in a year and a half to color this one (lines done in PS7 as usual). I want to learn a more paint-esque and rough feeling style. I don’t like the clean cut style I have now. I never really liked it in the first place its just automatic and I’m just not sure how to do anything else. ^^;


The following is a ridiculous rant about the Goku/Vegeta pairing. If you could care less about what I think, you can leave now.

So despite the initial impression given by the picture, I love this pairing, although my favorite pairing for DBZ is still Piccolo/Gohan (I swear, watching the series now, if Piccolo could be anymore in love with Gohan… I mean hell, it’s practically canon). BUT, what I am sick and tired of seeing is people writing fiction and drawing pictures with Goku and Vegeta all lovey dovey and sickeningly sweet. HELL NO!

Good job guys, way to rip out a character’s actual personality and replace it with a manufactured one so they fit in your little fantasy world. A shell of their original self which may look like the character, but that is where the resemblance ends. I don't want to read someone else's personality with a Goku or Vegeta facade; I want to read them with all of their unique quicks and their flaws. Whats the point otherwise. Is that too much to ask?

Yes, I understand it’s hard to pair them together without changing things because they are such polar opposites, but it can be done if you are willing to develop the characters properly and not turn it into another generic romance novel. Not everything is puppies and rainbows and cotton candy, and I would rather read something real and heart wrenching and introspective than that pile of fake drivel. There is such thing as artistic license, as in what I have drawn here, and then there is artistic massacre where you draw/write them cuddling after a tender lovemaking session whispering sweet nothings in each other’s ears.

Excuse me while I go empty the contents of my stomach.

It can’t be done, you say. Impossible, you say. Wrong. I’m sure you have all heard the saying; there is a fine line between love and hate. Case in point. I’ll let you ruminate on that for a bit.

Oh, and behave in the comments. I don't think it is bad enough to need a mature warning, so play nice, or I’ll just disable the comments altogether.
