Description
I felt like crap today, so I played hookie from work for a while and drew this.No ref used aside from the monkey, I wanted to get the style right, I needed no ref for Goku, the first human being I ever (seriously) drew was Goku.
Here in the USA Dragonball was not aired first, it aired years after Dragonball Z... which now, having watched Dragonball, I kind of despise that I was more or less forced to see the two series out of order...
DB in many ways is better then DBZ, it has more plot, conflicts that require more than just brute force to solve, it has plenty of humor (much of it being rather adult humor) and kid Goku is just so much fun. (I am still a deep rooted DBZ fan though, have been since I was little)
Now what does bug me in DB is Goku's appearance vs his age... I figured Goku was like 5 or 6 when the series began, nope... he is 12! I was like wut. SO here I drew him looking more 12.
I was watching DB with a group chat online, and early on in the Red Ribbon saga Goku is playing with a troupe of monkeys... best chat comment "Man Freeza would have loved to see this"

I personally think Goku was small because he was a runt with his lil power level of 2 unlike his neighbor who had a powerlevel of 10,000 and grew to be hulk-sized o_o
Besides, he only grows to be 5'7" and Vegeta is only 5'3" =3

I love kid Goku! However I always thought he was small for his age on purpose, as multiple characters commented on his unusually small stature, most notably Bulma. And then later after training with Popo and Kami for 3 years, at age 18, he had apparently had a major growth-spurt and was a normal height for his age. Just figured he was a late-bloomer lol! Anyway, great drawing, super cute

Oh gadd, there was SOOOO MUCH mature humour in that series it was ridiculous.
As for the DBZ and DB comparison, I kinda liked DBZ more, even though it was a more mature series. I loved how in the beginning it was more still images than motion paired with sound
Also, I hope you are feeling better soon. I too felt pretty awful today. But you are more important!
