SSJ Pud Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 I noticed in DBZ that as the show goes on the drawing and/or animation gets noticably better. I mean i was watching majin Vegeta fight Goku one day then when the episodes cycled the next day i watched the first radditz episode and could see a big difference in the lvl of detail and the look of the characters. my questions would be did u notice? and why is it like that? did DBZ always have the same artists? jus curious. :therock: :therock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolkam007 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 .. i would hope that they got better after drawing db/z/gt for as long as they did.. ;) .. yea i did notice ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwendolyn24 Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 You can see a big shift...well I did...as Goku is following Bulma, Gohan, and Krillen off into space. As he's training you can almost see the change over. Gwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 i think more than anything else its really a matter of who drew what. i dont know who does all the work, but, im willing to bet that a more "important" person does the work on specific eps. that he wanted to see done a certain way. you can see the changes and even the "important" guys work changes, but if you watch the most recent stuff the art is different for most of the eps. just look at when vegita is first taken by the spell, the ep. where he makes the first explosion. then take the very next one, when the kai tries to stop goku, the art is the best you can get. yes, there is change. i think there is also an issue of artist.

PiroMunkie Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 [SIZE=1][color=indigo]Do you really think they keep the same artists all throughout the whole series? There are three types of drawing styles I could decipher while I've watched the anime: [list=1] [*][b]Art Style One: [i]Plain and Simple:[/b][/i] This form basically speaks for itself. The muscular details aren't really defined, usually drawn with usually a single line that's not connected to any others. Shadow isn't all too eminent and the over all coloring is brighter than normal because of this. This drawing style is mainly in DragonBall, and early DragonBall Z. You may also see it in those annoying "filler" episodes. [*][b]Art Style Two: [i]Fine:[/i][/b] This is the nost often style you see in the 'current' episodes. The muscles are much easier to see now often drawn as if the person had no fat on their body. You can see where the muscles are connected to one another. Shadow is easier to see and blends pretty well to make it look more natural. As I said before you see this in the more 'current' episodes of DragonBall Z. [*][b]Art Style Three: [i]Sharp:[/i][/b] This art stlye really works with the details. Muscles are really defined as if that's all they had to their body. Shadow contrasts are obvious, they'll have a normal skin tone then drop the tone noticably darker, then again noticably darker. This makes the whole scene appear darker. The shadow also tends to be more jagged than usual. This style is most always used in the more important episodes where something important happens or where just a lot of stuff goes on.

The Simpsons is that way. I suppose it's because the producers get better and better at drawing it, because they've been drawing it for such along time, or alot. I noticed it, and I'm sure most other DBZ fans noticed it aswell. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the crap ones where, for example, they spend the whole ep showing hercule wussing outta the fight with trunks..bah...stupid fillers.
