LEGO MONKIE KID X DRAGON BALL Z : Equivalent Soul Au.

Context: Sun Wukong Died by Azure Lion's slash and he got reincarnated or his soul merge On Son Goku. So basically Son Goku is the new Sun Wukong he doesn't know it . The New JTTW gang still defeated Azure but Barely.

I wanted angst and also Found family.

Also since Goku is FAR more different to sun wukong and NO I DON'T WANT FIGHTING SHUT UP GOKU SOLOS MY ASS I JUST WANTED FOUND FAMILY OKAY FOUND FAMILY-NO DEBATING-

FEW FUN BEHIND-THE-SCENES STUFF I DID FOR “THE UNSPOKEN” WEBCOMIC SERIES (still ongoing, of course)

So I’m migrating some of the (public version of) pre-production stuff I did in 2021-2023 for THE UNSPOKEN webcomic (back when it still had the old name “Trunks and Goten in High School AU”) here, since X/Twitter apparently annihilated the old Moment feature for real. These are mostly research stuff, some warm up doodles and inspiring sountrack playlists I did before a chapter or a story got made. I usually do a lot of research offline before working on any creative project, that’s why sometimes it feels like there’s so many information gets jammed into one chapter: it was mostly to make do for all the time that I didn’t get to, or wouldn’t be able to work on the comics.

Will add in the chapters along side the information paper for clearer understanding ✌️

———————————————

1. The warm-up expression practice sheet (or doodles, in my case) of Son Goten and Trunks in my webcomic series (late 2022 or early 2023):

Since the idea in mind for these two in the webcomic was to be more “mature, human-like” than the original manga version to fit with the narrative I want to tell and aim at the older demographic, practices are needed :p

2. The Martial Arts techniques research information papers - Chapter 2 and 3 aka “The Spar” 1 & “The Spar” 2 (2021-2022):

A. Goten’s techniques:

B. Trunks’s techniques:

This research about martial arts techniques was actually very fun to do due to martial arts and cultural aspects are being two of the things I enjoy the most in life. That’s probably parts of the reasons why I went back to Dragon Ball in 2020: motorbikes, martial arts and mixed races culture.

Back then I did plan on sharing my research to everyone in the form of little fun art lessons, so there were interesting tweets like this or this. Later I decided to share this somewhere else more private (like my Patreon community) since I realized pre-production researches (or something akin to visual developments) are not that well-liked for most online viewers even though it’s a very much needed process in a creative project 🤔

This martial art concept is one of the actual main themes throughout the whole webcomic series, not really the (super duper gay) b-romance relationship between Son Goten and Trunks, yes I’m very sorryyyyyyy I like them too but I like worldbuilding more lmaoooo :p

3. The brief character design sheet and Chinese-influenced culture research information papers - Chapter 4: “The Iron Woman” and Chapter 5: “Her Resolution, His Origin” (mid-2022 until now and will be continued):

A. Character Design brief sheet:

B. Culture research stuff:

The hilarious thing about researching for these chapters are: Back when “The Iron Woman” was being made, the research limited at reading articles and some books about Chinese cultures, and watching documentaries on Youtube. But when “Her Resolution, His Origin” was being made, the research tuned into a real life trip to China, to take real life reference photos and listening to real legends and stories.

This research for “Her Resolution, His Origin” will be posted to Patreon later, of course ✌️

4. The Original Comic introduction and comeback announcements in mid-2022:

I must have eaten some edibles while drawing this because the boys look so good here. Goten looks so good, I even made him the profile picture for my Patreon account lmao.

5. Soundtrack playlists for inspirations (2021 - now): always the cherry on top. I listen to these playlists everytime I work on the series.

A. Duo playlist for chapters featuring both main characters: link

B. Character playlist for chapters focusing on single character, or anything related to that character: link

———————————————

All in all, posts like this are for people who like to see what’s beneath the surface when working on a creative project. I completely guarantee you, what you’ve seen on this blog are just the tips of the ice berg 🤫

Def not a PR, but my Patreon has lots of this lmao. Half joking half serious, there’s even a “non-posted” comic up there too and many other things. I’m just stating facts.

That aside, I’m just really happy to be able to work on this webcomic. THE UNSPOKEN webcomic series has always been a long-term indie project, not a daily content so I hope the readers who like and follow this series would stay tuned for more ✌️

and so Vegeta spent the rest of the afternoon desperately trying to remember if that was actually true or if it was just something Nappa made up in order to force Vegeta to share a bunk with Raditz and give himself some extra space.

Headcanon: Vegeta and Raditz were brothers and I cannot be convinced otherwise. Not nicey-nicey brothers like Gohan and Goten but like awful, antagonistic, constantly squabbling brothers who made Nappa lose what was left of his hair from stress. Nor is it a sentiment that either Raditz or Vegeta would ever admit to, not even to themselves, not under pain of death.

But like at some point when Goten is really little he'll refer to Vegeta as his uncle, which Vegeta will vehemently reject. He is adamant that Kakarot was not his brother, therefore he cannot be Goten's uncle. Unfortunately when the word 'brother' passes his lips Raditz's stupid face flashes in his mind's eye and this cannot be undone.

people often talk about how kid trunks absorbed a lot of vegeta's negative traits - cocky, boastful, competitive, prideful - but i feel like i rarely hear people talk about how future trunks has a lot of gohan's negative traits. he obviously comes off more mature because circumstances forced him to grow up quickly (not unlike gohan), but he's also awkward and insecure. he's never sure of his strength, and always seems to blame himself when things go wrong, even if it's beyond his control. he also seems to view fighting the same way as gohan; not something he enjoys, but something necessary, something he has to be good at to keep everyone he loves alive. until meeting frieza, he never would've had a proper victory in his life; everyone around him was always stronger than him, until one day he was suddenly forced into the spotlight as the last fighter able to take on an unbeatable enemy. no wonder they're so alike, they have almost the exact same trauma.

Top 3 Dragon Ball Characters?

DBZ Goten

Kid Gohan (saiyan-cellsaga)

And of course Goku

It's difficult to make a top 3 because I actually like almost all the characters, but I tried to make a top 3 out of them. And maybe a short explanation of why I decided this way:

DBZ Goten is in 3rd place because he's cute and looks very like Goku, but if he appeared a lot more and if he fought more often like Gohan did back then, he might be higher in the list. I left out Super Goten because hardly anything has changed, he was only a small supporting role and hardly appears.

I specifically chose Kid Gohan and not generally Gohan as a teen or adult. I like Kid Gohan's character, it's great that he also has some filler episodes in the Saiyan Saga and that way I was able to get to know him better, I just like it when you get to know protagonists as children and not when they're adults.

I don't have to say anything about 1st place: IT'S GOKU!
