Akira Toriyama was one of the largest influences on me as an artist. I have studied his works back when I was still trying to develop my own style. I loved all of the fun he was able the put into his character designs and worlds. The small amounts of worldbuilding he would do with each little artistic choice. I always loved the way he made machines and environments distinctly his own.

I grew up with Dragonball, and he pushed me into the world of anime. I wish to thank thank him for showing me that art can be hopeful in such a tragic time.

May your adventure continue on Spirit Road.

This art piece was an attempt to capture some of the stylings of Akira Toriyama and intermix them with my own style and character design; it is a harmony of what our art, when combined, could be.
