Modern family: Addition

Comic designing and plotline

I have already readied up my mind for brainstorming and decision-making. I drew from memory but also made some modifications that I felt was necessary. Plundered designing isn't as easy as everyone thinks.

One piece of paper should suffice as I drew a figure from many different angles and positions. This was part of the character design process and is something that I'm exploring right now. It would serve as a base guideline to follow for an animator or drawer to convey and cement the character as they make use of them in their story.

A superhero's clothing, a character's costume, extra accessories to consider, and how their motions and emotions could be conveyed. The angle in which they do it and how they apply it.

I used this method to draw and complete the main character of my comic. The character is set to be a little stoutish 14-year-old boy with spikey and grandstanding black hair. For now, the boy is set to wear a blue martial arts gi along with Chinese martial shoes.
O

ther than the hair and his weird get-up, what makes this boy stand out even more is the fact that he has an extra appendage that looks like a tail.

Original author of dragon Ball Toriyama took inspiration from Journey to the West's Sun Wukong to make Son Goku and all that I have to do is take inspiration from him to make Goku my own.

On another page, another character design chart is being made and this time, it was a light violet haired girl with a trendy fashion sense.

16-year-old Bulma would embody advance technology with her many equipments and the novelty of capsule technology.

I feel that this girl had much more potential for design such as cars, motorcycles, and innovative weapons but those designs are something I should plan when the true comic creation would start.

After the two main characters, it would make sense to actualize their supporting cast but that has to wait as a much more iconic creature is needed to be drawn.

Seven orbs with each orb colored orange and carrying a corresponding number of stars to differentiate one to the other.

From the One-Star Dragonball to the Seven-Star Dragonball, I have to be smart with my limiting color pencil to shade the Dragonball orange and differentiate its shine, curve, and stars from each other.

Of course, what sort of Dragonballs would they be if they didn't summon the sought after wish-fulfilling dragon- the Almighty Shenron.

The green dragon is way to huge to be able to character design it in a normal size of paper. I just wanted to draw it to get the sense of the main goal to reach for each of the character.

Even though Shenron's role would be put into the backseat with all the much more powerful dragons and supremely overpowered threats in the Dragonball universe and multiverse, the OG dragon still has great appeal to the hearts of Dragonball fans.

After the dragon, I drew the character sheet of all the characters I deemed a necessity for the first arc.

Oolong, the shapeshifting pig that mirrors Zhu Bajie. It is a poor pig that may have been bankrupt from kidnapping vain girls into his harem. Yamcha, the scarred mercenary and thief. It is also important to draw the floaty cat that always trails behind the man.

Turtle, a brown talking turtle that would be a travelling companion and ride to a perverted and old turtle hermit, Master Roshi. Flying Nimbus, a cloud that would become young Goku's means of transportation. Only those with pure heart can ride it.
