End of the contest
Added 2024-03-12 14:50:32 +0000 UTCAnd with that , the contest is over. I mean, we'll see more of Rangiku and Robin, of course but officially, all the special illustrations have been completed. As is the case with previous contests, at times I was not 100% sure I would finish it so I think this is quite an accomplishment.
As a big Dragon Ball fan (obviously, since that was the very first contest I did) I was very affected by the news of Akira Toriyama's passing. I started drawing thanks to him and my style was strongly influenced by his. I might be a bit late to this but I still wanted to offer a few words to a great artist. I remember not being a fan of DB in the early episodes. I was a wannabe edgelord high schooler and didn't care much for the comedy. However, during King Piccolo's saga my mind changed about the series. I was very moved by that tale of heroism and sacrifice and by the time DBZ started being broadcast in Mexico, I was a full fledged fan. Honestly, I have not been a big fan of DBS but I really like Toriyama's artstyle and I started appreciating his particular style of humor.
So, thanks a lot, Akira Toriyama. I would not be the person I am today without your influence and it saddens me that we'll see no more amazing works from you.
Now, on to the next subject. It seems the next contest will be DC vs Marvel and I think this will also be a banger. Howerver, contests take a lot of time and work and I would like to rest a bit from that. I also haven't decided the full roster, so I would like to take my time with that to ensure we have the best from both companies. I'll continue posting my drawings since I have a lot of ideas that I have wanted to do in a while (mainly involving Princess Ariel), and I hope you look forward to them.
