Jun'ya Furusawa

[dbfandom]

May 7th is Gochi day!

Here's a translation I did of one of Furusawa Jun'ya's entries from the doujinshi Orange Juice 2 (published 1989 July 30th).

Furujun (that was his pen name) later became an official illustrator for Shueisha and Toei.

Like what I do? Consider buying me a ko-fi! That helps me buy more doujins to share with you guys :)

[dhochoy09]

If you look at promo art for the series, the risqué fanart of Chi-Chi aren't too far from the truth. Considering what she wore when she was 12, it makes sense she would be comfortable in her own skin. She probably just dresses up most of the time to appear like a "proper" housewife.

But what lies underneath is for Goku's eyes only...

Artists, colorists, and more? A call to action :p

Today, I'd like to talk about Furusawa Jun'ya, aka Furujun, one of my faaaaave DB artists ever. He sadly passed away on May 1st 2020 (when his boat disappeared) and he is the one who created the most iconic (and only DB pin-up) Trunks piece in the franchise.

(as well as all other iconic Trunks pieces you can think of, because Furujun was very, very gay for Trunks and we stan)

Anyway why this, why now? Because a little while ago I got my dirty, DIRTY hands on "The Works", his first published sketchbook after he became an official Shueisha artist, and it turns out that book not only contains the prep sketchwork for this illustration, but also the lineart.

And today, I'd like to share these in particular, perhaps it could become a trend to color, edit or redraw this piece for Furusawa's death anniversary?

Please tag me if you participate!

And perhaps we can make it a #dbredraw trend <3

LOOKING FOR DOUJINSHI HERO BY JUNYA FURUSAWA/"FURUJUN"

ok so hear me out. I've looked EVERYWHERE and I've barely been able to find a few actual pages of this thing and they are rarely scans which is really sad, since many seem to own it and it's pretty rare and expensive these days it's also very long clocking at around 120 pages so it has plenty of artwork, I've attempted looking through Japanese sources but it's very hard not knowing Japanese myself, if anyone knows a source or you actually have the book, I'd really love to see it since I love his work :) thanks!

There's a lot of different artists behind dragon ball

Akira Toriyama

Tadayoshi Yamamuro

Minoru Maeda

Masaki Sato

Daisuke Nishio

Junya Furusawa

Disclaimer: I'm just going off google, and there are a lot of similar styles, a lot of fan tributes etc, so I may be wrong in these. Look up the artists and which movies/series each worked on before making any judgements/analysis.

[80s90sdragonballart]

As I discussed in this post from a few days ago, Jun’ya Furusawa, one of the most prominent of all the official Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z promotional artists of the 80s and 90s (and who had sadly passed away last year), was also himself a massively dedicated fan of the series before, during, and well after his time as one of the anime’s many promo artists. Under the penname “Furujun” he’d gotten his start originally as a notable Dragon Ball Doujinshi artist during his college years before his talents were noticed by Bird Studios and lead to him being hired on as one of the Dragon Ball anime’s promo artists. But even all throughout during his time as a promo artist, as well as during the years afterward since then (well after the series’ original conclusion), Furusawa never stopped being a passionate DB fan, and continued drawing Dragon Ball fan art for his own personal enjoyment.  In honor of his passing one year ago, I have here collected a bunch of his own personal Dragon Ball fan artwork that he drew on his own time both during and well long after his tenure as an official promotional artist. Normally this isn’t a blog that collects or posts fan art of any sort: but given Furusawa’s massive, massive prominence as an official Dragon Ball promotional artist during the series’ original run and how much of his work makes up such a large chunk of this blog’s content, I think its more than fair to make an exception just this one time in honor of the man’s outstanding work and his enduring legacy as one of the many talented artists (aside from Akira Toriyama himself) who helped make Dragon Ball as special as it was during its original run. RIP Jun’ya “Furujun” Furusawa ??/??/???? - 5/1/2020

hey! just wondering, do you know what was doujin scene was like for db in its early history? like before Z started airing/the saiyan saga started getting published? what characters were most popular, what dynamics were getting written about, what the tone of works was, if it even had a convention presence at all etc. thank you!

Kami fucking Dende you're asking me to go back to pre-1988 lmaooo I'm a good archeologist bue that's woah. You guys know I'm old, but not that old right?!

(Reminder that the chapter in which Vegeta kills Cui on Namek came out in the Weekly Shonen Jump just before the Berlin wall fell)

So I did some digging to find stuff published before 1990 to have a glance at what existed, some stuff did make it to online catalogues, and truth is that the scene was still in its infancy back then, especially for a gag shonen that didn't have many pairing options. The doujin scene truly went big from 1996 onwards (aka when the Comiket moved to a larger exposition center).

Even Orange Juice 2 which came out in July 89 still has Raditz stuff in it...

This was drawn by Junya Furusawa (pen name Furujun) by the way, who was a big GoChi doujin guy.. He later did a looooot of promo art. Some of which you may know ;-) He kept doing fanart for his own enjoyment though. (in order: GoChi stuff from 91 and two promo arts he did for Toei/Shueisha)

(We owe this guy a lot, F in the chat please)

Anyway back to the 80s.

I surprisingly found someone who did a lot of Tenshinhan & Chiaotzu (Chaozu) stuff back then. And I do mean & and not / eh xD

Here's the thing; I believe those who were active 35 years ago probably moved on to other projects and left their doujin years behind them; it's kind of like your party days in your 20s, they use pen names and the stuff they created quietly falls in oblivion... If they made it to the pro-world of mangakas and assistants. Even more so if they made it to the corporate "proper job" world!

I will ask though, just in case something appears!

Thanks for the question!
