Design-A-Character's Challenge for the first week of March Character Re-Imagine, the character this week is Goku from Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT.

I took tired to keep it similar to the series, and add in a bit of the original myth he's based from while trying to remain original.

Stuck to the colors associated with the Anime, kept the uniforms over all look, add pole arm and a dragonball.
Instead of four stars in the dragonball I found a chart with the Chinese calligraphy for the number four.

Sketched the image on scratch paper. Took 4hours of crumbling paper and starting over before I got the image I liked.
LineArt took 20minutes.
The coloring took me 3hours, not counting how many times I've gotten distracted to day.
