Au stuff.

Didn't know if I should comment under my response or not because I wasn't sure if you were going to see it, but I wanted to expand on my response more instead of leaving it as "Very interesting, didn't know that! :3." Didn't want to seem like I wasn't interested. I wanted to say more, trust me. My response to your ask earlier was lacking because I was going through a lot for the past day, aaaaaa. ;;
But wow,,, I can really hear it!! I love the way he voiced King Neptune in that clip. It sounds just like them. And HOLY SHIT!! I looked up his Thanos voice, and it is deep as fuck. AND DOCTOR OCTOPUS TOO??? Makes me want to look up more of the characters he voiced and listen to the clips, because WOAHHHH???? He voices a lot of villains, so of course, his voice is deeper. But I got really hyper hearing them, GDJDHJSJHD. I didn't know he voiced them too. Thank you for sharing!! I'd like to hear more. ^_^
I've been really interested in Banjo Ginga's voice role lists that even his dubbing from western media is amazing too. he voiced Thanos and Doctor Octopus?! how cool!
I also noticed he voice dub King Neptune from the Spongebob Squarepants 2004 movie and when I found full clips of the movie in Japanese and heard his part, King Neptune sound exactly how i imagine. he sounds a lot like King Vegeta and a mix of Babbo since this is a kids comedy. and he really fulfills our AU of King Vegeta with her granddaughter as a potential heir

Ouuu, I didn't know that! That's very interesting! :3
I'm back!! I've finally finished the Zabi art! it took me a month and I'm done!
do you remember I told you how Zabi means gazelle in Arab and I drew Mineva as one? after watching a handful of movies about anthro animals like Zootopia, GOAT, Hoppers and many more, I thought "what if the Zabis are gazelles?" and here they are! think of it as a Gundam AU.
the main reason it took so long cus I research my butt off to figure out which gazelle is suitable for the Zabi family and I choose the Dama gazelle! they're a critically endangered species of gazelle and the largest for their species. I think the Zabis being herbivores suits them well. it's a subversion how prey animals aren't always seen as a threat.
now on to the artworks!
i rarely draw animals so having to draw anthros is harder so i heavily use references for this. I've taken some artistic liberties mainly on their face colouring and horn shapes so they can look distinct from each other. i think I achieve of making gazelle Gihren intimidating with his face and horns. Gihren pronking as something silly but honestly, imagine he actually does this to show off his strength to other people lmao.
GOAT movie was such a big help when drawing them as I really love how they blend the animalistic and 'human' side for the GOAT characters thus, making their wild sides a normalcy instead of another prey vs predator racism. Hoppers is good too cus in the film, they have "pond rules" and one of them is if you gotta eat, EAT. they allowed and don't discriminate animals (bears, frogs, sharks) eating other animals to survive.
anyway, back to topic. in the Gundam AU it's basically the same except their animals. something i want to note is they're allowed to not wear shoes especially if they have hooves. but for the Zabi family and the Zeon military, they wear shoes and gloves to look more formal and obviously protection.
I was bit worried gazelle Dozle won't look too much like a gazelle due to his size. I even struggled with his white face and not sure if I like it. so, I move on drawing heads of Zenna, Degwin and Sasro to speed things up and i was losing energy for them. tbh, the three minor Zabis look good.
for Kycilia, I love her face unmasked but with the mask, she almost look too 'human' especially her front view. but then i thought, "hey that's the point. the Zabis want to present themselves as powerful sophisticated Zeon leaders." though, her side profile with the mask is much better.
Garma and Char! gosh I like this ship so much that I have to paired them all the time. Garma really turned out well that I don't have much to say. Char as a lion fits him so well with his gorgeous blonde hair. also, lions eat gazelles.. ooooh
Mineva my sweet girl! I changed her face a bit since I made her mom, Zenna a Grant's gazelle. and yeah, you can tell I ran out of steam for the gazelles thing. i randomly switched to draw grown up Mineva after finishing watching the first Hathaway movie. Mineva would be 26 by U.C 105 and it makes me wonder if they'll bring her back in future works.
and finally, Banagher! he was pretty easy to draw due to my love of My Little Pony as a kid. he's half Unicorn and half Connemara pony (he's still shorter than gazelle Mineva). however, he fabricate his unicorn heritage by saying he's half goat due to his mom's words. mythical and extinct animals exist and acknowledged in this AU. i take inspirations for his design from medieval unicorns and Amalthea from The Last Unicorn.
I also try to draw grown up Banagher... it's so bad. i don't know what I was thinking. I often noticed the young characters in Gundam when they aged into adulthood, they remain the same and to me, it got repetitive. so I at least try to add something unique for Banagher and it's.. longer hair and a mustache bruhh
and that is all! I have so much fun but also tired from the constant burnout and real life prevent me to relax and draw. i hope you will love it!
I absolutely adore this!! Your character designs are really cool, and I love how you have a reason/some inspiration for some of their features. I think I already said this, but your concepts are super interesting and bring me lots of joy. I really like reading about them.
I know I don't have a lot of words,,, I can't express how much I enjoy these as well through text alone. Make sure you get plenty of rest if you can. Focus on yourself, too. Thank you for sharing these! ❤️❤️❤️
[ REQUESTS 6-11 ]
Dewdles.
hey there! just dropping by once again. I've been really procrastinating on my art even though I have some good ideas about the Zabi family but life is making me busy.
so, you know how I love reading about Banjo Ginga? I've found a new discovery and it's an interview about him on YouTube!
https://youtu.be/lYjIP9C7n4Y?si=NG-BAmW1z4RvKkCJ
I've always wanted to hear what he sounds like outside of the studio and woah! I was wrong to assume his natural voice is closer to Gihren because it's not. to me, he sounds like any normal Japanese man (ok kinda sort of like Gihren but more casual and since he's 54 here, he obviously sounds more elderly.) and duh, of course he push out the baritone/rasps for his characters.
this interview was filmed in 2002 and because it's fully Japanese with no proper translation, I have to... uhh use the AI summary in the description... mmh it said Banjo Ginga talks about how he like voicing villain characters and how he enjoys voice acting. off topic, but I'm seeing a pattern he always voiced guys with a nice mustache (except for Gihren) and he also has a nice mustache hmmm I definitely have a type lmao
oh and remember how i mentioned Banjo Ginga and Gara Takashima met when voice dubbing the Star Trek Next Generations and fell in love after finishing the last season? I went crazy to find out when was the last year the Star Trek show Japanese dubbing ends. and it was 1995 so that makes Ginga 47 and Gara 41 ooohhh
gosh am i being a super weirdo? finding every tiny info about these two Japanese voice actors? this obsession is getting way too far. I have been like this as a kid. when I like something like cartoons, I go and search up the wiki to know everything down to their trivia to whoever voice them and I love seeing what other characters they voice in.
Ouuuu, that's very interesting!! It's crazy how we find out new stuff about our faves every day. I didn't think Banjo Ginga did any interview until now, hhh,,, but then again I tend not to look much into the VAs, hdjshdjs.
But on the other hand, I don't think you're weirdo. You're just curious, right? I do the exact same thing, but with fictional characters, so I'm sure it's not that different. ^_^
REQUESTS [ 5/14 DONE]
Art requests I did for @/Scarlet_Rose025 & @/EleekDBZ on Twitter after getting a bit of motivation. I have like,,, 9 more to go, I think.
Buuuut I haven't been posting art anywhere lately because I've been busy trying to get into college n shit after a year gap + I'm trying to get my driver's license.
Well, I am committed to a college, but I want to arrange some stuff. Plus, I've been spending my free time doing whatever I want (playing Stardew Valley). I don't force myself to draw just to maintain my followers. Despite wanting to build a follower count and potentially make money off my arts, I do not wish for my mental health to falter as a result.
Okay, rant over. Love you guys.
hi there again! I have new art and this time it's the DB x Soul Eater AU! I once mentioned Vegeta the III had a wife and thought if i should design her. I always wonder who the Saiyan queen is in Dragon Ball cus they never once showed her. I also realised plenty of artists have their own designs of the Saiyan queen and lore all that.
so here's my design and lore of Vegeta III's wife!
I am so satisfied with how she turned out. as you can see, Gundam has inspired me when creating her. for her hair, it's typical for Saiyans to have spiky hair but I took the big shape from Sayla and Haman's hair. her suit is inspired from the Gundam characters that wears suits/uniforms. something about them feels neat and classy. you can tell I look at Kycilia Zabi for her face. I love cheekbones especially on women. it's perfect to show their maturity. also, remember i gave Bulla a moon necklace? what if that belongs to her late grandma and grandpa Vegeta give it to her as a gift aww
now here's some lore about her:
Sorrel is a Saiyan from a noble family who are High Priests for the Saiyan's moon worshipping. although she can't transform into a weapon, she has shown great talents of wielding them so her family allowed her to join Death Weapon Meister Academy. Sorrel is chosen by Death to be the Meister of Vegeta the III, the son of the Saiyan village leader.
Vegeta had many partners who quit on him due to his arrogance and brash behaviour of being a weapon. what's more interesting, Sorrel and Vegeta have already met due to them being engaged through an arranged marriage by their respective families. they both had a bitter start as their personalities often clashed, leading to constant arguments.
but as time goes on, Sorrel and Vegeta eventually get along through their snarkiness on each other and other people. they also learned they both love to revel in the violence of collecting souls and unlocking many forms of Vegeta's shadow weapons. Sorrel and Vegeta also start sharing their feelings and their personal views.
Vegeta III looks foward of becoming their next leader as he desires to prove they can be powerful with their weapon forms and perhaps to lessen the animosity between the Saiyans and humans with progressive ideas while still maintaining their natural bloodlust. however, his mother barely listen to what he says. Sorrel meanwhile shares how she loved becoming a Meister with Vegeta but she knows her family still wants her to join into lunar priesthood and feels that she can’t be anything else than what they expect her to be.
this is when the two Saiyans realised they have much more in common than they thought. they both find each other attractive with Vegeta admitting he respect her for not giving up on him quickly and Sorrel love his ambitions and allowing her to be herself. Sorrel and Vegeta III accepts to becoming romantic partners and finally got married in their mid 20s. they have their firstborn son, Vegeta IV and later Tarble who's five years younger.
that's all I have for now! here's some sketches of Sorrel with Vegeta to explore their dynamics. I went for a Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend trope for them cus it's fun to actually make the husband respect and treat his wife equally.
I really love their wedding outfits but I don't know what I was thinking making their tails wrapped so high up their waist. it definitely looks awkward from the back lmao. also, the guy for Vegeta's short mustache reference is voiced by Banjo Ginga. yeah I was looking around and this character caught my eye. he's from the anime Jojo but I never watch it, only heard how popular it is.
Vegeta III with Gihren's suit mhmh I even start stealing his pose too lol. so this is what their business outfits looks like when running the village and helping out Death. outsiders view them as very serious and wonder why they're even married. in reality, Sorrel and Vegeta just hates PDA.
this is something I never brought up until now. when I draw Saiyans, I give them dark markings around their eyes, ears and nose. i was mainly inspired by Sun Wukong's Chinese opera makeup and seeing artists who drew nose crest will add colour to it.
and lastly, the family photo aww what a lovely family. hopefully nothing bad happens to them that leads to estrangement. anyway, baby Tarble! in my au, baby Saiyans don't have their face markings until they reach four years old. and little Vegeta IV as grumpy as usual. he hates taking photos especially when he has to wear a suit.
anyway, that is all! I hope you like it as much as I do!
Yippie!!! I've always wondered who the queen is as well.
I love Sorrel's design so much,,, oh my lala!! She gave me Haman vibes before I started reading this, lol. And I see the resemblance between the other characters you referenced!! I do remember Bulla having that moon necklace. I find it adorable that grandpa Vegeta (possibly) gave the necklace to her.
Ohh and the lore between Sorrel and Vegeta III is so cute! I absolutely adore how their relationship progressed over time. Kid Vegeta IV and baby Tarble looks so cute too,,,, 🥺🥺
Your arts, designs, and concepts are so lovely to look at, and your writing is really nice. And I really like how you add unique features when drawing Saiyans. It's interesting to know the inspiration for it, too!! For example, the face markings and their relation to Sun Wukong's Chinese opera makeup. I think it's really neat.
I enjoyed reading this a lot!! Sorry for taking quite a bit to respond. I'm trying to make my responses sound not as boring/underwhelming as possible, hhhhh. Thank you for sharing this with me!! I can't wait to hear more if you do choose to share!!! ^_^
Commission for Veronica!!
My comms are open if anyone is interested. I had fun making this. ^_^

I'm back with DB X MÄR AU art!! i want to incorporate the MÄR characters into DB and I feel Dorothy is the best contender. I love her design and her sweet and sneaky personality. and i love she's based on the Wizard of Oz. so this is my design of her for the au!
Dorothy looks the same except I remove her bangs cus i was struggling to make her front hair manageable. that's why i remove it and only keep her long hair vents strands cus when I look at DB how they draw hairstyles, it's simple and 'big'. I also change her face by giving a different nose and coloured markings on her forehead to make her look more unique.
the lore of DB x MÄR au so far: Bulla brought home the stubborn Babbo to her home as she can't leave him in the forests. she didn't tell her family what she discovered cus Bulla fears they might do something bad to Babbo. (oh yeah, i also aged Bulla up to 14 like Ginta and her Soul Eater au to make it more easier). almost every day, Bulla and Babbo go back to the cave she found him to understand what Babbo is and somehow find his memories. but then, a young witch appears!
thr witch claims Babbo is hers and she comes to take him. but she's immediately stopped when she's not strong enough to carry Babbo. Bulla and the witch argues but they quickly became friends. the witch introduces herself. her name is Dorothy and she owns and has the knowledge of ÄRMs. magical artifacts that turns into powerful weapons and Babbo is a special type of ÄRM. Dorothy will be Bulla's ally in finding Babbo's memories while secretly, she has her own agenda.
that's all I have for now! making Bulla and Dorothy's dynamics is realising they're similar to young Goku and teen Bulma in the OG series. they're even around the same ages as them. it's a nice parallel to have a sibling dynamic.
something about this AU I'm creating, it's sorta bringing back the fairytale and mysticism back to Dragon Ball. while i do love the sci fi, aliens and gods being now a major part for DB, i really miss when it focus on their takes of characters from famous stories like Journey to the West. and since MÄR full title literally means fairytale in German, it's perfect.
Yay!!!! You're back!!!!
I adore Dorothy's design so much,,, Omg,,, She looks so pretty!!!
It'll be refreshing to see DBZ stuff that isn't about becoming super powerful or fighting constantly or some shit. They're all just going on silly adventures, like in OG Dragon Ball. I miss when it wasn't about gods or being overly powerful.
I really love your storytelling for this au. And aaaaaaa I keep forgetting to actually watch the actual show,,, but I also wonder if they would find more magical artifacts along the way. And what would happen after they restore Babbo's memories? Would they disband? Can't wait to hear more!
hi there! long time no see! I just wanna pop by in ur ask again cus I miss it. I still don't have any new art to show but I have been sketching and planning for the Bulla and Babbo KV AU
in the meantime, I just wanna show you what I observe with Gihren Zabi. it's a bit silly but I can't help but notice he has small/dainty hands
like am I wrong?? his hands are drawn like they're a woman's. it's definitely to show how privileged Gihren is for not having rough and callous hands from doing the hard war labours cus all he does is giving orders. but still, I just can tell his hands are soft if you touch them lol
Hellooo!!! Glad to hear from you again!!! I can't wait to hear more about your AU if you do choose to share more. I hope you're doing well. ^_^
But omg,,, I never thought about it before. Now that you're mentioning it, I don't think he's ever touched a mobile suit once in the show. But you're not wrong!! I actually haven't noticed he had smaller hands until you mentioned it. They look soft as well, like you said. I guess being intelligent has its perks? Lol. He just lets others do the dirty work for him.
VALENTINE'S DAY
For a while now, I've been thinking about Paragus and King Vegeta's majordomo as a pairing. I would go more in-depth, but I'm quite shy.
Also, for Paragus, I tend to mix both his Z and Super designs together. I know the facial structure looks different in both, but I barely drew Paragus (until now), and I was experimenting with how I think his face would look. I figured that the one in the second image fits him more. Just wanted to add those little facts, that's all.
