Congratulations to <i>Dragon Ball</i> on its 40th anniversary!! Out of all the covers I enjoy, I purposefully picked one that had as many elements as possible. But I also wanted to draw Piccolo and Vegeta… While I was making this homage, I remembered how much I loved copying the artwork when I was a kid, saw how deep an influence it had on the way I draw natural objects and things like knots, and managed to realize once again how much Toriyama-<i>sensei</i>'s talents became a part of my very being. It was fun!! It was such an honor to be able to partake of this opportunity. Thank you so much!
