Description
This was supposed to be one half of a collab between another artist. It was supposed to be my Piccolo blasting with her Yamucha blasting back. It just sorta...Fell through, I guess. But here it is.I tried to mix my style with Toriyama's. One thing that bothers me about DBZ fanart is that it seems most peope feel like they have to mimmick Toriyama's style to the letter. I won't deny that it's part of the distinctive look of DBZ and definitely makes it much more recognizable, but I don't feel that we should be slaves to it. Particularly since Toriyama's muscles look like shit.
The way I see it, so long as you make the head look as it should, you can take greater liberties with other things. Also with the cape, I tried to give it a Jim Lee cape look.
Again, it's old. About two years. I can do better than this, I promise.

Piccolo is such an awesome character. He went from a dangerous demon to a noble warrior defending his new home: Earth. What a guy.

Hello. I think someone reposted your work without your permission: [link]
But if you, the original artist, reports this it'll get taken down pretty quick.

I don't know, but it still seems a little comical to me that the headwear flies off.. ^^ I don't mean it in a bad way at all : D. Love it.

Haha, I pretty much just wanted to be able to draw the hat, and draw his antennae as well. Only way I could have my cake and eat it too.

Awesome Piccolo! Also, I agree with what you said about people mimicking the original artist's rendition. Adding your own style and nuance gives it a bit of flavor.

I see what you mean with the style-copying..And I agree with you. But I also have this problem with DB fanarts I did.^^
Maybe if I will make some soon I can leave that behind.^^
I wonder why you keep this great piece in scraps... You did amazing job on him. ;___;
Unless you... *goes to look for more Piccolo art from you X3*
By the way...*giggles* gotta love your avatar!

I agree that the head is very important on a dragon ball fanart draw to be more rapidly recognized, but of course it's not mandatory...
Your drawing of the great Piccolo (in Portugal we call him Coraçãozinho de Satã, something like Satan's little heart 
Thanks for sharing.

That's BEAUTIFUL! ( I'm glad you drew him in your own style.) This is WORTHY!

Yo, man-- I definitely feel you on what you're saying about copying the style to a "t" to do Dragonball Z fanart... that's exactly why I haven't done any yet!
Anyway, this pic looks good and the muscles well in place as well.
