Thinking back on it now, though, I do feel that, at least in terms of the quality of the art and the vitality of it, the stuff I was drawing around the time of Sand Land was incredible.Īre there any unique charms or characteristics of this work that only you yourself would know, Toriyama- sensei?įor Sand Land, I scanned the inked paper manuscripts into my computer, then using software, I did the blacking and applied tone I made myself to finish it up. Reasonably speaking, my favorite comic should be my most recent one. The truth is that even here, I held back on the fluff, and worked hard to make it a proper, serious story. When I draw comics myself, the contents tend to be rather plain, lightweight fluff, which doesn’t lend itself to finding an audience. (Knowing that COWA! is number one,) are there any parts of Sand Land that you can definitively say are your favorite work? Thinking back on it now, even with it being limited to a single volume’s worth of material, it was quite a feat to have drawn all that myself, without an assistant, in a weekly series. Dragon Ball had ended, and I had tried my hand at a few different short series and one-shots, so I figured I’d draw a work that poured everything of who I was at the time into it, which I intended to be one last hurrah.
