Akira Toriyama’s Work Was A Huge Part Of My Youth And It Still Resonates With Me Today, I’m Incredibly

Akira Toriyama’s work was a huge part of my youth and it still resonates with me today, I’m incredibly saddened to hear of his passing. I wish for peace for him and his family.

Famed manga creator Akira Toriyama has passed away on March 1, 2024 at age 68 due to acute subdural hematoma.

Toriyama began his first serialized manga, Dr. Slump, in 1980, and it inspired two television anime and multiple films. Toriyama followed it up with Dragon Ball, which ran from 1984 to 1995, and is still inspiring manga and anime sequels and spinoffs today. The manga's Dragon Ball anime adaptation, its sequel Dragon Ball Z, and its other numerous sequels and anime films are equally as well-known as the manga, and its hero Goku has become a character known throughout the world.

Toriyama is also well-known as the character designer for the Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon and Tobal games.

Most recently, Toriyama was working closely with the production for the Dragon Ball Daima anime series, the most recent anime series based on Dragon Ball, and is credited for the new anime's story and character designs.

Having fun with my fave color, pink! I dunno what my story behind this is, maybe David just wanted to turn Michael the old fashioned way and he’s a messy eater.

I dunno if anybody cares but I like sharing what I was listening to while working on my art, so:

Madonna - Music album

Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence album

A little bit of Cher too lol

Anywho, hope ya like!
