The first part (hopefully) of the Dragon Ball Z What If fan animation I've been working away at on-and-off for the past 5 years or so. Some of you who watched my original uploads a WHILE ago may know I said I was working on it, so here's the evidence!
Writing credits go to 'npberryhill' and 'Davidstarlingm', as per their "Bringer of Death" fan story which imagines a scenario where Vegeta went Super Saiyan first, and Goku is forced to deal with the threat that comes of that once Frieza has been defeated.
I hope you enjoy, and subscribe so you don't miss the full fight that's in the works!
As usual, credit goes to all the respective rights holders as per the disclaimer in the video. Additionally, credit for voice talent is owed to:
Leo Jerez: [ Ссылка ] - voicing Vegeta.
'Burning Axe': [ Ссылка ] - voicing Goku.
Go recruit them, they were both great to work with!
I was given some assistance on animation and background art by a few friends, and I also adapted some aura and electricity effects produced by 'NNameNick': [ Ссылка ]
Lastly, as I am by no means a professional animator and I am still learning to work independently and be more creative, much reference has been used. I will always be the first to call myself out, so here is a list of visual sources I used for inspiration throughout the creative process:
Naohiro Shintani's Vegeta character reference sheets
Naohiro Shintani's Goku character reference sheets
DBZ Super Vegeta concept art: [ Ссылка ]
DBZ Bucchigiri-Match and XKeeperZ art, e.g.: [ Ссылка ]
DBZ Kai episode 61: "No Victory for Android 19! Enter Super Vegeta!"
Dragon Ball FighterZ - various cutscenes, e.g. SSj Goku VS Freiza dramatic finish
Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit - SSj Goku VS Frieza cutscene
DB Manga: Volume 42 Chapter 510
DBZ Kai episode 50: "Full Power Frieza! Shenron, Grant Our Wish!"
DB Super episode 38: "The 6th Universe's Mightiest Warrior! Engage the Assassin Hit!"
Dragon Ball Deliverance Episode 3
I also painted planet Namek with direct reference to official art, and sampled official art of the "Nameless Planet" from Dragon Ball Super for one of Namek's moons. Both are owned by Toei Animation, but my research didn't uncover the original artists for these two planets, so if you happen to know this information please contact me. In the same way, if you feel I have referenced your own or any other work and I have forgotten to cite this, please do let me know!
