I really wish Piccolo had kept his mouth blast, along with his other, more bizarre powers… I know those tend to be reserved for villains, save Gotenks, but it’s just a cool way to set him apart…

That’s one issue I had with Z, characters slowly losing a lot of their unique quirks and becoming so similar to each other in terms of fighting abilities, becoming more homogenized as a result…

There’s a lot of factors to this. One being Toriyama got tired of doing the series as it went on. I assume they just became similar in fighting because it was easier to draw the same things over time. That’s how I feel about it. 

My way of looking at it is that since they’re martial artist, and martial artists train to learn. The Z Fighters became so close knit that they just adopted aspects from a little bit of everyone. Goku used to be a full on physical fighter, and since his brawl with Vegeta he got more beam happy. Vegeta’s the vice versa, Vegeta was a military man fire, always relying on keeping a good distance, and blasting people to smithereens, then the Buu saga came along and Vegeta’s throwing physical blows as much as Goku would’ve back in the day.

Another thing to note about Piccolo’s beam is it’s a remnant of his Demon King Piccolo days from Dragonball. At this point in the series he was still considered evilish, so the attack reflected his personality. Then when on Namek he fused with Nail becoming a far more Neutral Fighter, still looking out for people, but he no longer had evil ties.  And especially later when he fuses with Kami becoming a whole being but siding with the side of Virtue, he lost all ties of being Demon King Piccolo and became the heroic Piccolo as well as a bit goofy because of the old man in him.

sisalian:

- Amala - 

This young woman ran into Kassidy during one of her adventures on Sisalia with Medri. Kassidy was being chased down by Teth, though Medri was defending her. Within the chaos and the action, she found herself jotting down notes and drawing their faces and their actions. For, Amala is a Scribe.

She lives her life to write and draw the world around her, it’s her passion, her desires and her mission. However she finds herself unable to leave her home due to family being far too important for her to disappear and pursue her desires. Though when she sees Kassidy and Medri and hears reports of them on the net, she hunts them down with the ferocity unlike any creature has ever seen. She goes into the bars for hours on ends, listening and asking questions  from the two travelers, painting the universe in her pages with her words and illustrations.

Amala is born. : D

sisalian:

- Dei -

A young woman who’s mother is a famous fashion designer on the Sisalian world. Dei however is a girl who prefers simplicity in her life and finds function over fashion more preferable. However her mother ridicules her for her designs and treats her as a competitor. Kassidy has her off-world outfit to thank for the design. Kassidy being a stalker of sorts to Medri Fogmatio, she wished to adopt a similar design to his. Dei idolizes Medri’s outfit and wishes to know whom made it. Medri then reviled it was his daughter, Soli Fogmatio, that created and made the design for him. Dei has found herself occasionally traveling with Kassidy and Medri in hopes to meet Medri’s daughter and learn from her. 

Dei has made many of the outfits for the sisalians shown, as her style has become more and more popular on the world vs her mothers overblown and superficial styles. Her mother, Hali Kai-Abwai, Mistress of Kai Fashion, has become bitter at the competition and will be a petty and sore loser in the war of fashion. 

Managed to make a new sisalian today!

- Tahu -

Since Domobot drew Pohatu, his first Bionicle. I thought I would draw mine.

Toa Tahu was my first Bionicle and I enjoyed the entire lore of the franchise in my youth. I still enjoy it now.
