i 💛 bad lunch

I hate launch slander. I really really hate launch slander. I get what they're talking about, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. She's my favorite female character in the series who cares if she's just a gag. They are people that are fans of this character, so to see her get this kind of disrespect is not good. I respect their opinion but they're wrong very wrong.

I honestly can't believe they didn't put launch in this scene, seriously how could they have possibly have not put her in with the rest of the original dragon ball cast!.

I want more post apocalyptic cyborg launch.

Art Rewind: Dragon Ball

I went through my gallery and picked out a few Dragon Ball artworks I created over the years I felt stood out and decided to share them here with you.

"This Isn’t Even My Final Form!"

A transformation sequence I made of Frieza back in 2020 (yes, I know I forgot Cyborg Frieza). I first released it on an online Dragon Ball community under the name "SaiyanOverlord".

"Cellvolution"

A parody of the iconic "The March of Progress/The Road to Homo Sapiens" painting by Rudolph Zallinger, I instead depicted Cell’s road to perfection. Drawn in 2020.

"Super Vegeta"

One of—if not my very first digital art piece. I drew a simple bust of Vegeta in his Super Saiyan form. I’ve learned a lot of things about digital art since but this 2020 illustration was finger-drawn on a single layer (which made the month-spanning experience far more challenging than it needed to be).

"Man and Metal"

I drew this one (also in 2020) for a friend of mine who liked Krillin. A lot of people have come and told me Krillin looked stoned in this one, I wonder why?

"Sailor 18"

The #sailormoonredrawchallenge was big at the time so I decided to add my own twist to things by drawing Android 18 as the titular protagonist.

"Son Goku"

I drew Son Goku in a blend of styles between my own and the original manga’s as tribute to the late Akira Toriyama, who unfortunately passed away earlier this year.

"Future Trunks Cast"

Still in a Dragon Ball mood from the Goku artwork, I decided to draw the Future Trunks cast + a post-apocalyptic cyborg Launch in a similar style.

I’d like to take a moment to thank you if you’ve read this far, I really appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed and that you have a great day.

Some Launch/Raditz why not?

The second two versions have some retro/VHS filters run all over them. I'm kinda just playing with the filters right now but they're pretty cool. They kinda make the work look more cohesive/finished?

The androids come for the Son clan first.

It isn’t that they don’t leave any wreckage in their wake, traveling to Mt. Paozu; their appearance is simply so sudden and comes with so little warning that the world and its protectors are caught flat-footed. The androids move quickly, having no cause to seek distraction with a specific purpose in mind.

That changes on discovering that Son Goku is dead.

Gohan tries–tries to defend his mother, but his strength amounts to little more than a momentary deterrent; he falls, borderline paralyzed with pain and powerless to do more than listen as they break Chichi, destroy his home and ruthlessly cut short his grandpa’s furious bellows of grief.

Piccolo arrives, too late to help by minutes. Despite the state he’s in, Gohan nonetheless reports everything he can; two monsters in the forms of callous teenagers, unnatural in that they don’t have any ki signature, individually almost as powerful as Freeza. Piccolo commends his protégé for surviving, apologizes he didn’t arrive sooner.

Then he puts the boy to sleep.

Gohan may be drastically stronger than the average earthling, but not only has his training been neglected after Goku’s passing, he’d actually regressed since Namek. In his current state, confronting the androids a second time is tantamount to suicide.

Begrudgingly, Piccolo reestablishes that mental connection he shares with his older, benevolent half; Kami, already largely appraised of the dire circumstances, directs the Z warriors to the Kame Sen’nin’s island.

Piccolo thinks of Gohan, and asks:

“Make sure the noisy woman–Son Goku’s friend–is there as well.”

Piccolo’s arrival coincides neatly with Yajirobe’s, the wild man armed with sword, senzu and an obvious desire to quickly remove himself before any plans for combat come up. Gohan’s unconsciousness puts them on edge, though Piccolo ignores the suspicious glares thrown his direction and explains the severity of the threat to the planet, to say nothing of humanity.

Piccolo asks that Bulma and Lunch take those who cannot fight, along with Gohan, somewhere safe; the androids knew to look for Goku at Mt. Paozu, so it stands to reason they could eventually come to Roshi’s island seeking out Son’s friends and rivals.

“Sure,” Lunch says over Bulma’s indignation over plans being made for her. “I know a few spots to lay low.”

The blond tears off with Bulma, baby Trunks, Gohan, Oolong and Puar in the hovercar Yajirobe arrived in despite the swordsman’s protests.

“If that bastard were still here,” he says, a beat after they’ve left. “We’d be better off.”

Alas, Vegeta disappeared into space shortly after Goku’s passing, with no indication he planned on ever returning; nor that he had any inkling that he’d sired a son with Bulma. Whether he would help is debatable, but as it stands, Piccolo and Kuririn are the strongest fighters they have on hand. Piccolo could likely contend with the androids if he fuses with Kami, but doing so would rob Earth of its dragon balls, and by extension, any chance they have to save the lives Gero’s creations have already taken. 

“There is one technique that might work,” Piccolo says, turning squarely toward Roshi. “The Mafūba.”

I’ve never engaged with Dragonball in my life (except general cultural awareness) and decided to try reading the manga. Absolutely had to draw Lunch/Launch!
