Dragon Ball Z, low-res pixel style!

Here’s my pixel art series for the “Z” portion of the franchise, or chapter 195-519 of the manga. The colouring is mainly based on the anime, and includes the anime-exclusive Gregory, but new characters from discrete filler arcs are also in the movies, so they will be featured in an upcoming post based on Z-era movies and spinoffs. DBZ was such a constant for a number of years early on, so it’s been a blast getting back into it, and very fun to draw out all these characters. “Giant” characters who are wider are not necessarily to scale.
