Do Concept Pictures Of Dragonball/Z Before It Became Official Exist?

[Sovran Nila]

Do concept pictures exist, or were there ever any concept pictures released by Toriyama before Dragonball became an actual reality?

I'm curious if draft work before the actual creation looked different.

I think I’ve seen concept art of Goku before, with much closer resemblance to a monkey just like Sun Wukong. After it started I don’t think AT ever had time to make concept work though. He’d pretty much make forms in the fly and make characters transform if he didn’t like it.

I remember seeing something like this years ago but nobody could confirm if it was official or just some jackass online.

It’s real. It was a proto-type/one-shot before DragonBall called Dragon-Boy to gauge reaction I believe. Published sometime in-between Dr. Slump & DragonBall (or maybe even while Dr. Slump was still running). One-Piece for example I think had 2 too before the real serialisation began.

A-lot of series do that.
