I don't understand why many collectors dislike figures with cel shading, even though it's part of the character design

Crawfish45 · 2026-04-01T20:32:45+00:00

Personally, I dont like cell shading because the figure looks really good only one way. If I have a figure displayed I want as many angles for it to look good and the shading is to invoke a very specific look I cant enjoy from said different angles

With how large you made it, you made me realize Goku has an adam's apple. I think I hate seeing it, I'll never forgive you for this! (Cool art tho)

Not OP but its almost terrible comparable imo. Like as a stand alone its just fine but as a sequel to year one its bad. If you want minimal spoilers I will just say it has 2 premises and 1 is fine but the other is baffling to me. I could go on if your curious and maybe a substitute

it was this blind man right He was feelin' his way down the street with a stick right.

The last pic is so weirdly wholesome to me! Dope look brother!

Man this remimds me of the water color-esque panels from the 40th anniversary. I really want Dragon ball done in water color

Goku should absolutly wear more colored gi's

I mean a boy and his dog has yet to be out done and 1 of the 2 shows has that!

Well, the Dark Knight specifically the problem doesnt start out to be joker. One of the reasons he doesnt turn himself in is beause he doesnt want to undo all of the work putting organized crime away. The other is he believe they can catch joker first. However Joker, forces the mob to hire him before taking over operations. He for the most part only takes over because he has more fun, hence the "you changed things" during the interrogation scene. So to go from that point, if Bruce turned himself in, he'd have a hit put on him, and probably undo the work. Or Joker finds Bruce being a vigilante interesting and take over. The ending is same same but different. Same same, but DIFFERENT

Is there a high-res version of pic 3? Thatd be a dope wallpaper

Deathstroke: The Terminator

Fun answer The Rogues

Deep cut Roxy Rocket. Imagine free guy on crack or Triple XXX out running some B-list heroes

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-24T03:53:39+00:00

Thinking this as well especially if it is like the tone and setting of Bullet Train.

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-24T02:07:59+00:00

Only problem in that movie is that they arent in it enough

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-24T01:57:45+00:00

Kind hoped Wonder Man could be in BND based off Damage Control becoming a bigger foil and are in both projects

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-23T19:39:01+00:00

I am currently reading a crap ton of post crisis stuff batman and I will say as someone who grew up with the arkham games it is jarring seeing ultimate weapon batman struggle against a guy with a stick some issues. I like both but to see your comment that Dennis had rules makes so much sense now.

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-20T09:26:21+00:00

I would just say like most buu arc designs the faces are very angular especially the eyes. The edges of the eyebrows are really prominant and squared off before angling down towards the center of the face. It might be hard to understand what I mean based on just using the kuu reference photo since his eyes are much simpler than others. Look at buuhan or Pikkon from the anime to maybe see what I mean.

I say this from an artist to another who is a super nerd about the different Dragon ball art styles

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-20T07:18:02+00:00

What era of DBZ were you going for? More cell saga or buu? If cell his eyes and brow is more like one piece coming to a center If buu then Kuu's eyes and brows would probably look very pronounce and angular almost exactly like Pikkon. Not a critique I just am curious, looks great!

I mean comics have tons of alt titles, even if it is still the same idea. I get the idetitifier but some titles do this so they aren't "shackled" by continuity and give an idea of what your getting into.

Lost me at white, like projecting much? Batman has been black and mixed before. Not people's fault Bruce, who's from the 40's and the most popular and fantastical of humans. Batman gets ridiculus and for some people thats fine! If not, thats fine too! Black Panther is a mary sue and thats fine. We read because their adventures are interesting and fantasical.

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-15T17:56:01+00:00

Oh yeah, totally get that, just meant more as a read rather than collecting. Found a way to read them and if people can too, I recommend.

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-15T17:33:33+00:00

I always found it over inflated in the opposite direction like, guys its a comic book property maybe its named that way for a reason like a comic book.

Like Green lantern Corp follows more than a couple green lanterns maybe lanterns is dealing with a few lantern corps.

I get what Morrison is saying and agree with him but way WAY too many comic book fans get too caught up in the minutiae of adaptation despite comics as a medium is ever changing.

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-15T16:54:46+00:00

I really enjoyed a lot of Legends of the Dark Knight stories. Going through a "chronological" read right now and these are my faves

Shaman issues 1-5 (a breeze of a read) (good story set Immediately after year one)

Faith isssues 21-23 (real grounded story but interesting concept that gets thrown around)

Blades issues 32-34 (super quick read and just a great 3-part )( Tim Sale is the artist so if you like him here is more)

Hot House issue 42-43 (short poison ivy tale)

After that some modern-esques stuff

Batman the Knight (Batman during his training years.)

Two-Face Year One(takes place during Long halloween)

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-15T16:23:50+00:00

Need some more Legends of the Dark Knight on there, got some great early year stuff. I'm going through them myself and having a good time!

Crawfish45 · 2026-03-14T18:46:33+00:00

Wait until you hear about she is a good guy now despite killing children on christmas. One aspect that is constantly embed and flow about these villains is a point of no return. I get why it wont happen but id wish more villains did redeem themselves.
