I would lie if i´d say this man´s work didn´t influenced over me in the way i do art, tell my stories and my characters to this day, or his stories and characters, although simple at first gaze, were full of great and positive values like effort, to never give up, friendship, merit and self improvement.
His work did influenced over me in a more than positive way and inspired me even more to keep drawing and doing art at a moment when i wasn´t sure if keep doing it would bring me anywere many years ago, i never knew you presonally Akira, yet i feel like if you always been there with me and everyone who were exposed to your work.
Your work which surpassed the barrier of time and culture, were not just one more anime, but also an escape and inspiration that made great not just the childhood but younghood and adulthood of millions around the planet.
Here is my humble tribute to a great man and artist who gave us a world of thrills, emotions and good vibes and even changed this world to be a better place somehow, at least a little better and with more hope.
Thanks for amaze us, thrill us, and inspire us, We´ll miss you dearly sensei..... thank you!!

Still cant believe that he is gone...
So, anyone up to search the Dragonballs to bring him back?

I been thinking about the same thing, brought me a strange sensation between laugh-happyness and sadness
unfortunately, the dragon balls can't bring back someone who's died of natural causes.
Totally agree - Dragon Ball was much more than anime
I can call the part of my childhood the era of Dragon Ball, didn't want to miss a single episode

The only Toriyama manga I've read is 'Sandland', which is short but full of fun.
A very, very talented and popular artist, R.I.P.

Sandland was amazing! one of his best works at visual level and the story is more than enjoyable too!
There's a Sand Land videogame coming out this april on steam, I'll definitely be playing that when it comes out.
Hell yes, completelly unexpected, hit me harder than a punch from Saitama >X)
i have to agree with you on this, his great works truly inspired an age. Here's to everything Toriyama has done for all of us, and to keep his memory alive.
Felt really horrible when I found out about this. Shame there are no real Dragon Balls to bring him back with.
RIP Akira Toriyama
RIP Akira Toriyama
...Aye. Here's to a Good man. Dragon Ball, Dr Slump, Sandland, Dragon Quest... And likely many more I just cannot remember at the moment... Geez, Akira Toriyama was only 68 when he went, yet it felt like he left nearly a Century's worth of treasure behind...
Tributes like these carry more heart than what Corporates would speak out... So thank you, Marian0, for doing Toriyama Justice.

I believe his death impacted the world as hard his work throughout his life did...
Rest in peace Toriyama, we will see you at the Dragon´s road one day.

I knew he was your inspiration. One can see it in all your work.
It's a beautiful tribute to him.
Thanks
It's a beautiful tribute to him.
Thanks
RIP Akira Toriyama, that man much like like Stan Lee and Walt Disney have shape their respected industry like no other and the world was better due to their contribution to the art. What a magnificent man.
Akira Toriyama has also been a major influence since I saw his work in Chrono Trigger then Dragonball. He never really died to me because his influence and legacy is still alive and well and in that respect I feel I should also keep that Influence alive in my art till the day I also die.
The greats are always taken from us way too soon. I'm sure his work is still going to inspire many for generations to come, but it is sad we will never know what his mind could have still shared with us.
I certainly can't say that his work hasn't been a part of my life, from the Dragon Ball anime to the Dragon Quest games which were such fun and entertaining worlds they inspired even some of my characters in one way or another.

I wonder how sheena would feel since she seems like a huge fan of her universe's DragonBall equivalent
Many great artists did die. Some others try to continue their legacy, but will never be able to catch the true spirit of the original artists. And many just fail, because they follow the trend, instead following themselves. With him another great artist is gone.
A beautiful tribute to a great man whose works were a massive part of my childhood.
Fantastic Piece, I think you did the man justice.

Compadre, sin el Sensei no existirían géneros completos de manga, anime, cine, libros y obviamente incluyo tu historia, que sigo pensando que debe estar ubicada en alguna parte de la misma galaxia o algo muy cercano al universo de dragon ball. xD
Todos extrañaremos al gran Sensei, que Dios me lo tenga allá con los grandes, el maestro Miura lo ah de estar esperando.

Ciertamente se nos fue un gigante, la inspiracion de muchos. Pero su leyenda vivira en todos nosotros que nos inspiro a dibujar y crear
Dragon Ball Z was my introduction into Anime. His works are the best I have read. Now I am going back to read Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump
Id fight even my own dad for the remote just to watch each episode i could and stay up past bedtime to re-watch episodes. Made a lousy childhood brighter for me.
He will be missed.

Man, sabía que le harías un tributo. Se nota bastante la inspiración en tu estilo de arte. Que descanse en paz Akira.
