Okay, I wanted to wait until I had the first few pages done before I showed this to everyone. But I did such a good job that I couldn't wait. BEHOLD!
The Cover Art for Chapter 6 of the FINAL CHAPTER of the Bojack Unbound Arc. The last chapter had a lot of action, but this will be the pinnacle! The climactic final battle between Bojack and the Galaxy Soldiers against the new Z-Fighters!
Originally I wanted the art to only feature Gohan or to have him in a showdown with Bojack himself on the front page. However, I soon decided the best impactful cover art would one that would include everyone, in honour of their hard work since their encounter with the androids and in celebration of their first battle fighting as a team, and not as individuals. But of course, while their teamwork has definitely shone through here, all of them are supported by their pillar.
The first was always Goku. But for this generation, it's Gohan, his son, who is now going to carry on the mantle into a new era- the Golden Age era when DBZ was at its finest in story-telling, which I hope to capture in my writing and drawing.
This was really the whole purpose of me creating this comic in the first place. I always looked back on the old DB and DBZ shows/manga with such fondness, because back before DBS, DBZ's tone shift into more serious story-telling was a real head-turner back in the 90s, when comic books were a little more edgy and a little more serious (maybe too serious sometimes, but I didn't think that was a bad thing. Hell, they even drew Wonder Woman in a thong back then, which is fire, not gonna lie).
These days, movies and TV shows have become too watered-down, copy-and-paste, subverted, overly formulaic and homogenous. While formula is ideal for telling good stories (in fact I believe it is fundamental for good storytelling), it's passion, creativity, and moving the pieces forward through development that makes a story worthwhile.
Now, since we've arrived at the beginning of Chapter 6, I want to take this time to ask ALL my fans a question:
Which was your favourite chapter of Golden Age so far?
My answer, I love the cover art for Chapter 3, but it's a toss up between Chapters 3 and 4 overall for me- one because of the Gohan/Videl encounter and the other the Zangya backstory and how I set up her first meeting with Gohan. I could go either way.
I await your opinions on the art and your answers below...
