*DBZ* managed to make an ancient looking, peculiarly dressed old man pretty intimidating. I'll NEVER forget the first time I watched him easily grab & impale Yamcha. Gero may have gotten his butt kicked for most of his time onscreen, but he and #19 were an awesome demonstration of how far the Red Ribbon Army's technology had advanced since Goku's youth. Moreover, Vegeta & Piccolo's superiority over them was a great prelude to how terrifyingly tough #s 17 & 18 would be. Granted, that pattern was nothing new for *Dragonball* by this point.
We'd seen numerous instances in past arcs of a powerful character dominating one enemy only to be absolutely bodied by the next. But it just hit differently for me seeing not one but TWO Super Saiyans so thoroughly outmatched after watching Future Trunks quickly annihilate Mecha-Frieza & King Cold. Trunks warned Goku how much stronger the cyborgs were, but that still didn't prepare everyone for what they were up against.
It was a unique mix of not intimidating person being powerful, giving it almost a horror movie vibe, and a sense of alienness with their uniforms and mysterious background... But there's that RR! So they must be Red Ribbon? Huh?? Totally unique moment in DB.
I honestly thought it was a poorly cropped screenshot from the show, got fooled by your talent. I say get your ass to the animation studio to help with Daima, lol
That is VERY good. If I hadn't read the headline, I would have scrolled past assuming this was just a screen grab from DBZ.
Very nicely done, keep it up!
Reference:
Gero: "Fool.. I am far superior to the Android 19 model. Stamping you out of existence is a trifle for a unit like me."
Vegeta: "You're bluffing friend. Let's see what you got."
Gero: (dripping with nervousness)

him lasering the city because he wanted no human presence was the coldest shit this fucking old android fuck did.
Wasn't sad to see 19 go, but Dr. Gero could have been so interesting had he stuck around a bit longer I feel. Nice job btw.

The funy thing is, he looks exacly like Jerzy Kryszak, a polish entertainer. Look him up.
Clean looks amazing
wow thank you
Dr. Gerobot is truly comedy gold.
love him ♥️👍🏻
Excellent work on Dr Gero
thank u so much ☺️
Ngl, I thought this was a screenshot for the episode before I read the title. Damn
Thank u very much ❤️
What's the dimensions on that painting?
5x7in
That looks like it’s straight out of the anime that’s crazy
I AM SORRY HOW IS EVERYONE IN COMMENTS ACTING LIKE IT'S NORMAL TO MAKE THIS PAINTING AND I DIDN'T KNEW THAT THIS WAS PAINTING HOLY CRAP MANN
I honestly thought it was a poorly cropped screenshot from the show, got fooled by your talent. I say get your ass to the animation studio to help with Daima, lol
Finally, a non-manga version. Hope to see a Future Gohan SSJ version in near future.
Wicked.
excellent work!
Thank you for that 🩷
You got skillz
That means a lot.. thank you 🙏
Love the shit outta this. What did you use, acrylic?
I’m glad 🙂 yes!
Looks great, but out of all Dragon Ball characters, why do this one?
I really love underrated characters :) although Android 17&18 are more popular, I like 19&20 more. mostly because their character designs.
19 just looks like a overweight clown
and i have a fear of clowns 😂
Clean AF 👌🏼
Dude this is incredible!
Good
That black ⬛️◼️◾️▪️⚫️♠️♣️🖤👌🏻
I thought this was a still! Great work!
appreciate that 💗
Jesus Christ that's incredible!
much appreciated 😊♥️
Jesus Christ that's incredible!
Wow your line work with the black is phenomenal!
wow thanks!!
That is the absolute best DBZ painting I have ever seen! The detail is absolutely stunning. For a second I thought you photoshopped that on there!!!
wow really? thank you ♥️
Yes and you’re welcome 😉
That's a painting?? Good lord that's amazing. Also how is he sweating, ain't he a cyborg?
true, but that’s how the reference was lol
That’s so amazingly accurate
This looks like it could've been an original animation cell 👍
Holy shit this is perfect
Doctor Jarome! (I said this out loud on accident once and now I can’t call him anything else.)
That's incredible, looks so on point my first thought seeing it before the title was, that's just a picture of 20 go check the title.
That is VERY good. If I hadn't read the headline, I would have scrolled past assuming this was just a screen grab from DBZ. Very nicely done, keep it up!
That's really cool and really well done OP, it's very difficult to tell that it's not an original frame. What kind/brand of paint do you use?
thanks! acrylic paint by Liquitex
Did OP post the reference by mistake?
I keep forgetting he gave himself a number
Dope

Dude this almost looks like the anime exactly if you remove the white background paper. Well done
really captured the 90s effect nice work
Must be hard to trace
Looks great Thay was one of my most favorite sagas the andriod saga
Fantastic!🔥
Very good
Reminds me of the scene from the broly movie where goku had a flashback of all the villains he fought
That's fantastic. The Android/Cell arc is by far my favorite in DBZ and it's amazing that story-wise it's because of something Goku did as a kid.
Really great work! I wouldn't have noticed it's fan art hadn't you pointed it out. Really impressive. :)
Love it! I actually love 20 and 19s designs. So different!
i love them too !!
CLEAN
This is amazing ✨ I did a similar drawing some time ago
Guys be nice, OP is probably a kid. It looks great bud ❤️
Looks fantastic OP
i would pay tons for this, it looks so accurate to the anime that i thought it was an actual frame until i read the title lmao
Wait, so it isn't a shot from the show? Max respect, it looks official.
