Thoughts? Got a favourite one?

It should be pretty obvious my favourite one is Hara's. Gokenshiro will solo all with Ultra Musou Tensei Instinct.

Kind've disappointed Araki and Inoue didn't put their top tier skills to full work, especially when Araki put in enough time to draw a JoJofied Kenshiro and Inoue drew a realistic Luffy for similar events. Kubo also did a very good job at making Taopaipai look like a badass in both pics, though his Ichigofied Trunks looks ass.

Also, Saeki's #18... Expected this much from the guy who draws Shokugeki no Souma.

Yeah I had the same thoughts for the last two you mentioned. Also I like Kentaro Yabuki's and Masakatsu Katsura's. Yoshio Sawai's Frieza stomps everything else though.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Yoshio Sawai's Frieza stomps everything else though.

He's infused with power of breaking the 4th wall after all. Only Sorachi Bardock can stand up to that. 2

 

[Fantastische Hure]

This is a gold mine.

I gotta say, not a damn one of them caught my interest. I tried... I really did. I thought the Ken'ichi Sakura looked decent. I'm not into the really slim, sharp-nosed designs. I feel like Dragon Ball isn't visually the greatest, but it's using the only look that really works for it. The most hilarious part is when I saw the last one and was like, "Wow, that one looks good..." and saw that it was Toyotaro's lol

 

[Classic Adamas]

Some of them look cool, but none really compare to in my opinion.

 

[Boo Brand Milk]

I was going to spam but that was cool.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

i think i might have a feeling the reason jo-jo author didn't draw goku jo-jo style (i think) is because he respects akira toriyama so much i think. like he didn't want to change that too much.

 

[SSJ2]

Oda's version looks disgusting.

 

[Symbiote]

A lot of your images are broken.

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Yeah, noticed that. Pretty much inevitable for a thread from 3 years ago.

 

[Symbiote]

Didn’t realize how old it was.

 

[Fantastische Hure]

also here's AT's drawing of jo-jo (jotaro) i think

[SSJ2]

Not bad.
