After hearing about Akira Toriyama's passing, I spent a good 3 days rewatching some old Toonami DBZ segments and reminiscing about all the cool memories of watching DBZ as a kid with my mom (Possibly talking her ear off, I've been on it nonstop. Sorry mama). I never met him personally, of course, but his death still hit me pretty hard. Toriyama's been a massive inspiration for me for YEARS, especially the way he designs his creatures, I appreciate his work immensely and without him, I likely wouldn't even have been drawing in the first place. I feel like I owe a lot to him. It bugs me how I still just can't bring myself to draw anything right now, can't even muster up the energy to make a tribute piece...Kinda feels like I'm slowly watching my childhood, basically the only thing that's kept me going now for a little over a decade, crumble into dust in front of me. It's an awful feeling. Either way, rest easy, Akira Toriyama.
