Project Summary

Growing up in the late '90s and early 2000s, I was fortunate enough to experience what felt like the golden age of anime. My Mount Rushmore was Dragon Ball Z, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Naruto. Back then, things were different. We didn't have smartphones, streaming services, or instant access to every episode. If you wanted to know what happened next, you had to wait patiently for the next week. That anticipation made every episode feel special.


Out of all those incredible shows, Dragon Ball Z has always held a special place in my heart. It wasn't just a cartoon to me, it was a source of inspiration. As a kid, it sparked my imagination, fueled my creativity, and taught me lessons about perseverance, friendship, and pushing beyond my limits. The characters, the stories, and the unforgettable moments left a lasting impact on me that has stayed with me throughout my life.


Even now, as an adult, my connection to Dragon Ball remains as strong as ever. Collecting cards, figures, and other memorabilia isn't just about owning pieces of a franchise I love; it's about holding on to the memories and emotions that shaped my childhood. Every item reminds me of a simpler time, when racing home to catch the next episode was the highlight of my day. For that reason, Dragon Ball Z will always be more than just an anime to me, it will always be a part of who I am.


I'm presenting a gogeta as he is one of my favorite characters and I will paint the model using the 2d cel shading technique.

2D cel shading is a painting style that makes a 3D object look like it came straight out of a 2D cartoon, anime, or comic book. Instead of using smooth blends and gradual transitions between light and shadow, cel shading uses: Flat colors Sharp, defined shadows High contrast Minimal blending

2d Cel Shaded Gogeta Completed

Well, I'm finally done! A lot of work, a lot of brush strokes, and plenty of late nights. It was fun... and painful at the same time 😂, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. Even better, the new owner already loves it, and I hope you all do too!

For this project, I stayed true to my signature 2D cel-shading style, giving the miniature a comic book-inspired, two-dimensional look. I'm incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work on this piece while participating in such a well-organized competition.

Using the Gaahleri Seeker was an absolute breeze, and their Rapid Matte Varnish gave the model a beautiful, durable finish that really brought everything together.

Thank you to @gaahleri_official for making quality tools that are affordable and enjoyable to use. I can't wait to see everyone else's amazing entries. Good luck to all the competitors!

Gogeta Progress #4

Finished the base for my Gogeta entry! My daughter loved how the rocks came out.

I decided to start with the base this time since I usually leave it for last and end up rushing it. Hoping this approach keeps me motivated and gives the base the attention it deserves from start to finish.

On to Gogeta! 💪🔥

Primed Gogeta

Started with a flat white primer. When I work on 2d anime style painting I like my color to really pop. White works great to allow the initial coat to be saturated without applying to many layers which gives me a great starting point to complete this style.
