This is DRAG-onball Week, a week of Dragonball characters drawn in drag, or otherwise looking ✨fierce✨.

It’s Day 5, the final day – and who shows up but none other than Janemba.

Don’t know who he is? Take thee to watch Dragonball Z: Fusion Reborn. It’s 45 minutes of sheer wacky hijinks.

Now, the thing to know about the Dragonball Z movies (before Battle of Gods) is – with only one or two exceptions, they are not canon to the TV series. These older movies were made as promotions to show off the anime to people who had never watched it. So you can watch Fusion Reborn and not worry about spoilers.

Janemba is the main antagonist of this movie. Now, he has two forms, but we don’t talk about the first one. This here is an iteration on his second form.

In the original movie, he looks more like this.

But let’s face it, that armor is way too busy. It would distract from the shirt I wanted him to wear.

Also, I just…love drawing Janemba.

Look, he’s nonverbal in the original movie, so I played with his expressions with the idea of treating him less like Perfect Cell and more like a demonic Crash Bandicoot out for mayhem. That’s a big part of why I love drawing him – he’s fun! At least how I do it.

This sticker is coming with me, along with the other DRAG-onball art I’ve been showing for the past week. Tomorrow, July 27, I’m taking these with me to Art Loop Mini Mart in Toledo, OH! They’ll also be available in my Ko-fi shop TODAY. yo.

and before I go to the Art Loop Mini-Mart, there’s a bonus art piece I want to show off…

Watch out for this hunk of candy!

This is DRAG-onball Week, a week of Dragonball characters drawn in drag, or otherwise looking ✨fierce✨.

It’s Day 4, the day we strike a pose with all-rounder Ginyu Force star, Jeice.

Let’s face it – Dragonball characters in drag had to include the Ginyu Force at some point. They’re just so over-the-top. They practically vogue on the battlefield, y’all.

Of the Ginyu Force Members, though, Jeice was easiest to begin with. (It’s going to take some more sketching before I feel comfortable sharing the other Ginyu Force Members.)

So…why this outfit?

I’ll be honest, one look at Jeice and I was thinking of Paula Abdul and the 80s pop scene. So, BIG hair, sequined one-piece suits, bold makeup, the works.

I also came across vogueing competition shorts on YouTube, and LOVED some of the outfits they’d wear and the confidence the dancers would exude. I wanted Jeice to channel those vibes in this piece.

This 4-inch by 6-inch miniprint is coming with me, along with the Fabulous Frieza and Android 18 stickers (and more). On Saturday, July 27, I’m taking these with me to Art Loop Mini Mart in Toledo, OH. They’ll also be available in my Ko-fi shop the same day.

Stick around for tomorrow’s showing – Lil Devil Janemba!

This is DRAG-onball Week, a week of Dragonball characters drawn in drag, or otherwise looking ✨fierce✨.

It’s Day 2, and today is all about Android 18, Drag King.

If you missed yesterday’s post, I mentioned there that this project was inspired after seeing a platform heel shoe and my roommate Alex saying, “What if Krillin wore that?”

But the more I thought about it, the more I went, “Krillin may not do drag…but Android 18 would.”

Now, 18 doing drag is already a challenge, because she has a twin brother. (Her twin Android 17, would have also been tricky.) I had to think of how to have 18 perform over-the-top masculinity without looking like her twin.

So I turned to DuckDuckGo, and up popped: Landon Cider.

(FULL DISCLOSURE: I know nothing of Landon, so don’t come at me).

I loved loved loved how Landon did the gradient facial hair, and I wanted to incorporate that into this piece with Android 18. This look also gave me 1970s roller disco vibes, and I wanted to add that flair to the final art.

I also wanted 18 to have a power pose involving Dragonballs. (Get it?)

However, it took a few tries at the composition to get the look nailed down. You’ll see what I mean in this YouTube short.

But I LOVE how 18 turned out here!

Like Frieza from yesterday, Android 18: Drag-onball King will also be a sticker. On Saturday, July 27, I’m taking them with me to Art Loop Mini Mart in Toledo, OH. They’ll also be available in my Ko-fi shop the same day.

Stick around for tomorrow’s showing – Princess Trunks!
