Gohan and Videl Original Designs [Redraw][DBZ Concept Art]
🕑 Added 2022-12-17 13:43:38 +0000 UTCHey, it's my birthday! Maybe I'll have the time to do a little sketch of my avatar to commemorate this day.
I was feeling nostalgic while I was preparing my home over the last couple days in preparation for a party with friends and family, so I decided to take a shot at redrawing the original concepts of Gohan and Videl that we nearly got.
I could see Akira Toriyama's thought process while he was working on concepts for an older Gohan and the girl he would meet and fall in love with, Videl. Frankly, I loved the OG designs. @allofmywhy released a redraw of their own on twitter a few years ago, which you can see attached here in the lineup, and I was in awe at the quality and look of the design. As you can see in the original sketches by Akira, his original Gohan design included a variation where an older Gohan was wearing a Capsule Corp jacket, obviously a homage to his time spent bonding with Future Trunks. It would've been great seeing Gohan rocking the jacket (personally, I would've gone with a yellow wind breaker jacket, which would match his orange pants well and what I wanted to emulate here).
So my design of Gohan consisted of that, as well as the baseball cap he would eventually wear at his first P.E lesson.
I also took on Videl's design and gave her a full body, with what I believe was appropriate for the parts of the design we could see. While it was not specified that the girl in the pic WAS going to be Videl, I have a strong suspicion it was, because her hair bears a striking resemblance to her father's- puffy and curly, just like Hercule Satan's- and she has the same eyes as our Videl. She was going to be the girl who witnesses the Golden Fighter's first appearance, which is our Gohan as you can see here.
More images to come after my party for the day is complete. But I hope you guys enjoy the image I did here. Let me know your thoughts.
