DragonBible Z!!!

(Click to enlargify)
Everybody knows the Bible. Most People know Dragonball Z. I loved that show growing up, and Akira Toriyama's art style had a huge impact on me when I was younger. The show was also strangely religious in its themes so it seemed only natural that I would depict the characters of the Bible in the style of Dragonball Z. Note that this work is only 50% complete. I had a lineup of Bible villains who would be lined up similarly in another panel making one big megaposter. I still hope to complete this someday.

  6. Arman, this is great. Perfect use of the theme. What did you do it in? Photoshop? Illustrator?

  7. Thanks guys. I did this in photoshop. Scanned sketches, placed them, added ink layers, then went to town on the coloring and shading layers. Learned a lot about getting cool anime-style "glow" effects in photoshop too.
