Gotta Find Me a Future

Part 1: Sunset

Comic under the read more.

This comic is an adaptation of @theashemarie 's fanfic

of the same name (link here). It was 4 months of hard

work for @theashemarie, @katiemonz, @squidthusiast, and me.

We are very pleased to share Part One of this labor of love with you.

Please look forward to Part Two in the coming months!

It's a whole different experience trying to adapt a written work to comic format, and I took a few liberties here and there with certain scenes. I'm very thankful that my friends stepped in to help with this massive project, they helped so much and are so talented! Please give them a follow, look at their work, leave comments and tags, let them know how much you like their stuff.

Ashe, obviously, handled the bulk of the writing and the alt-text, and offered insight on the parts that were changed by me. Katie is the one responsible for the shading and flats, and helped keep my and from being injured. She also offered a lot of feedback for the paneling and layout, being a comic veteran herself. Rory is in charge of anything that is colored, so the cover and the three colored spreads were his doing. Just fucking exceptional work from all of them. I handled the sketching, lining, and layout as well as the rewriting of one scene.

We are already starting work on part two, but we are also all working adults and these things take time. Hoping to get part two out sometime this year… Either way, thanks for reading and have a kind day!

I was watching the fight between Gotenks vs Majin Buu again and I realized that this arc of the boys' fusion has very interesting dialogues, which inspired me to do some doodles.

• This scene would be much more impactful if half of the arc wasn't focused solely on comic relief. The boys lost EVERYTHING at this point. Trunks lost his father, his mother, his grandparents, Goten lost his mother (he saw her die), his brother (he thought he was dead), his grandfather... and his father had to return to the other world.

Then Gohan appears like an unexpected miracle, and at that moment Goten fears, he really fears that Majin Boo will kill his brother. Goten tells Trunks that they needed to do the fusion again, to help Gohan, but Trunks uses the logic that they need to wait 30 minutes to do it again. Goten says, almost crying, that they need to at least try, because he doesn't want to see his brother die, he doesn't want to lose anyone else. Trunks responds (wonderfully) that he will fight alongside Goten, even if it is useless:

But we all know Gohan humiliates Boo lol (at least at the beginning)

Even though it wasn't so well constructed, thanks to the breaking of expectations due to the consecutive jokes, I thought this dialogue was very good.

• One of DB's most incredible characters was very present in this arc. Piccolo Daimaoh!

I ended up forgetting to take a screenshot of the dialogue, but basically the following happens: The boys have just returned from a frustrating attempt to defeat Majin Buu. After listening to a lecture from their mothers, Trunks and Goten have Piccolo's attention. Trunks then asks if he could surpass his father, saying that he wanted to protect the earth just like his father did. Piccolo puts his hand on the boys' heads and says they WILL surpass their parents.

So I knew I had to draw this scene:

• Another dialogue, and discussion, that appeared at least twice in this arc was the simple fact that the two were CHILDREN. I remember one of the characters saying "oh it's okay if they die, we can resurrect them", then Bulma brilliantly says that "they're just children, he shouldn't have to experience death" and that it's something very cruel.

Guys, I don't know about you, but I thought this point was wonderful.

Fortunately, I took a screenshot of when the BOYS THEMSELVES talk about this, when they are no longer fused and in complete danger (The subtitles were in Portuguese, so I used the translator to write it in English):

With these dialogues and the few times this arc focused on following a less comedy plot, I realize how much potential this all had. The great evolution this could generate for the boys and all the rest of the Z warriors.

When I realized this, I thought "I need to talk about"

• And that's it, I hope you enjoyed the drawings and the long tiring texts :")
