When reading this question all I could think about was how many baddies in Dragon Ball (and somewhat in Z) have face turns. Most of Goku’s friend group were early antagonists, albeit not on the level of a Frieza or Cell. Still, I think if anyone would be open to the idea of bad guys becoming friendlier it be the DBZ cast.
Our most recent First Shoot poll featured another three-way tie. The first of the three characters who tied is Nolan Grayson, better known as Omni-Man from Invincible. I’m not personally a huge fan of him, but I see the appeal for others and decided to include him in the poll. His tie here coincides with a number of other Invincible things that have already come through, marking something of a resurgence for a show I haven’t watched in a while. Omni-Man’s randomized partner for this shoot is Cell, and I had a pretty easy time working out their dynamic.
So here’s a commission! The genesis for this idea came from some off-hand comments I’ve made in the past alluding to Loren’s character starting out as me wanting a shota similar to Special Training Gohan in Applebridge. This client remembered that, and wanted to do a Halloween pic of Loren Cox dressed as Gohan, with Zak Corrado dressed as Cell (though his costume is 90% body paint). I don’t know if this is before or after Loren goes Trick or Treating, but I suspect he’s gonna feel pretty full by the end of the night either way.
Here’s an Ask for Cell. Funny enough I’ve only ever really drawn his dick before, so this is the most of Cell I’ve ever drawn. I don’t like doing his spots.
