The flames, btw, are the hair up side down and tilted slightly.

I am not a fan at all but that image is really cool! I really like the chrome effect in his armour and hair particularly. Well done! ps (immensely)

Most impressive! Did you know that a live-action film is in the works?

I don't believe there's an official website yet. Try a search on Google for "dragonball live-action", or look here:

The director is Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, Godzilla, etc.), so it's definitely being handled by someone who knows how to blow things up good. I'm personally trying to start an unfounded rumour that Hugh Jackman will be replaced by Charlie Sheen for the role of Goku.

LOL It's funny. When i was young( Most of you are prolly too young to remember these) but my absolute greatest cartoon hero was a gigantic robot called Gigantor. Then Prince planet and Marine boy. Now I look back at gigantor and he remids me of the tin man from wizard of Oz. Things have a come a long way!

I have a certain nostalgic fondness for Voltron (the lion version, not the vehicle version) and AstroBoy, myself.

Many people remember "AstroBoy", but I'm always pleasantly surprised to discover someone else remembering "Prince Planet" and "Marine Boy"! For years I could find no information (this was before the web explosion), so I began to doubt my childhood memories. Maybe I imagined them, or maybe my memories of "AstroBoy" were distorted. Then one time as I attended a sci-fi convention, I saw a booth selling "off the air" VCR recordings of variou old shows. To my astonishment, I saw copies of both "Prince Planet" and "Marine Boy"! Officially released or not, I had to acquire these recordings! Popping them into the player when I returned home, I felt vindicated. They really did exist! Only only that, but the "PP" tape contained the concluding episode! JOY!!! Sincerely, Bill
Tempt the Hand of Fate and it'll give you the "finger"!

lol Very cool Bill! I just did a search on Gigantor and it was shown where I live in Melbourne Australia back in the 60s. Now I do feel old lol. Atleast it proves we 60's kids were the trend setters of today. Gigantor was anime! hehe

For me it was Battle of the Planets in 1979 (Highly edited version of Science Ninja team Gatchaman 1972 ). That lead me to the road of financial ruin that is anime fandom... and what saves me from Poser related financial Ruin. Gigantor, Originally Tetsujin (Ironman) 28 GO, was one of the earliest anime series, and the first Giant robot anime.

My kids still watch Johnny Quest :) Really sweet image lygher_xero. It captures the essence of DBZ without being an exact replica of any of the characters.

I'm not a dragon ball fan either, but that is one cool picture! Great job :) Oh yeah and I got my son's opinion he likes dragon ball and he thinks it's really cool too.
