Description
Urg. This one took forever. >.<
A while ago I used to go to name generator-sites just for fun. Some of them was to find out your Japanese/Chinese name. One of those sites gave me the name Saruwatari, which means (supposedly) “Monkey on a crossing bridge”. Since Goku is a monkey, the name suits him better, don’t you think? =^.^=
Goku: I am NOT a monkey!!! *shake fist*
Oh My Gawd! I hate drawing backgrounds and surroundings so much. >.< They are always so evil to me. Plus they are boring.
But I do enjoy drawing Asian eyes. ^^ Those are fuuuuun. =^.^=
I didn’t want to colour this one because I want to keep the original feeling of it. If you don’t like it then suck it.
Now, the pose was not how I imagine for the pic nor was the bridge, but it’s still good. ^^

But seriously. Jiv even if you say you don't like drawing backgrounds, I can't see it here. ^^ I mean ...I just love that bridge ^0^
Goku'spose is so dynamic and...hmmm for me it looks like somebody took a photo of him, standing on this bridge ^^
And again your art brought smile on my lips. Not to mention an inspiration...

Goku: Aah!! *glomped* ^.^ ~
It took me a day to do that background and I spend most time doing the bridge so I could get it somewhat right.
A photo of him? Why, I have no idea what you mean...
Glad you got a smile thanks for my work. This is the pic I said I was so proud of. ^^

Though I didn't give the background much details. I hate BG's soo much. >.<
Ok. have it good when being off line.

That's AMAZING!
So much detail! I imagined it took a while indeed.
But great job, I like the slightly/more realistic style!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you like. ^^
Yea.. I was so glad when I finished it. >.<
hehe, Semi-realism is sometimes fun...but mostly when I don't have to draw a background. >.<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah
I bet, lol.
Yeah, it can get tedious though, but yeah, backgrounds take a while too...that's why I usually don't draw them. XD
