Savage Shark belongs to me
Saiyajin Armor & Scouter are Dragon Ball Z
Artwork by me

My fan art homage to Akira Tokiyama.  Savage Shark wearing the Saiyajin Armor, growing ever more excited for the fight.

After hearing about Tokiyama's passing last night, I started doing a lot of thinking on how much Dragon Ball Z has inspired me.  It was my first introduction not only to anime, but helped me expand my art.  I emulated the style, studied anatomy, action poses and angles, visual effects, character design & world building. Many of my characters from middle school to present are all inspired by dragon ball z. 

Much like Goku training for his epic battles, I felt like I was training myself too become stronger and more comfortable with my style and getting myself out there.
I may not be as strong as Goku or Vegeta now. But I can beat up Krillain, Tien and Yamcha. 

Thank you Akira Tokiyama for inspiring us all.  
Rest in Peace and hope one day we meet on a Nimbus cloud someday.
