I learned this morning of the passing of Akira Toriyama, the father of Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, designer of Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger. Also, probably the artist who influenced me the most when I started drawing. Here is an old fan art I drew of Arale. My heart is really heavy this morning...

Oh no, I didn't knew!
A lot of Dr. Slump-quotes are still part of my daily life. And I will always remember how hard I laughed about the guy with the magical running socks who had lost one of them and was running in a circle. I love that panel.

I didn‘t expect me to be this sad about a death from someone I didn‘t know personally.
I have to thank him for a lot of great childhood memories and beyond….

oh wow. Yeah. What a formative element of my younger years. Dragon Ball and Chrono Trigger are core memories. What a man and what sad news.

That picture is lovely by the way.

thank you for posting about this. He is one of the biggest names in anime, and will be missed dearly.

I have a soft spot for Dragon Ball and Arale, and love your artwork.

I only learned yesterday… really sad, I’ve coincidentally been playing a ton of Chrono Trigger lately so this really sucks.

as a 90s kid I can't begin to explain the influence DBZ had on me. It taught me to be good for goodness sake and to stand up for what's right. Beyond missed. Hopefully we all get to see him on snake way one day

Also as a tribute to Toriyama, I would like to share the cameos and influences in my webcomic here (which are hidden or vague due to copyright reasons):

1. You can find a Super Saiyan character doing the line in front of Saffron's house.

2. The magic competition arena decoration.

3. The fight with Shichimi

4. Goku was born "Kakarot" (carrot), so now you know why my cat with long tail and eyes like young Goku is called "Carrot".

1. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 16. A line in front of Saffron witchcraft in the street of Komona. Cameos are in the line. 3. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 34. A fight between Pepper and Shichimi, Dragon Ball Z style.
2. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 21. The arena of the magic contest. 4. a comic page of Pepper&Carrot. Episode 18. How Pepper names Carrot (because he was hidding in a crate of Carrot) but there is another reason for this name.
