These two were the first characters I ever learned how to draw and there was a time where it seemed like the man who created them was just as ageless and immortal as they are.

After almost thirty years of Akira Toriyama and his works being a consistent part of my life, it never occurred to me that there would be a day when he would no longer be here. But I guess that's part of growing up and I feel like there's irony in him still teaching me those kinds of lessons even after passing.

I couldn't bring myself to draw them sad the way I've been since I heard the news because if there's one thing Toriyama's stories taught me is to always face the world with a smile, even when things are painful or uncertain. Of all his many lessons, that one was always the most important to me.

I just wish I could have thanked him in person.

In Japan, it’s Mami Koyama’s birthday so I decided to draw Arale Launch cause she voices both of them.
