@Cavi5873 жыл бұрын
It is somewhat understandable though. Dragon Ball is a MASSIVE franchise. Dragon Ball is legendary. Toyotaro might be doing quite okay now, but when the manga started for a long time it was pretty apparent how much he can't come up with stuff. He spent most of his art journey replicating Dragon Ball, and he continued to do that even after becoming an official Dragon Ball mangaka. He had a habit of reusing the same poses many, many times. His art IS good, of course, but I think people like to point out the bad stuff mostly because he jumped from being a fan artist to working on his beloved series in a pretty one-of-a-lifetime-chance way, while many artists who develop their own styles and stories spend years being nonames before they are able to get recognition. I'm not exactly saying I agree with all of that myself, just trying to describe what I've noticed the community agreeing on.

@@bloodfinity I know, everyone does it. That's why I'm not agreeing on most of the stuff community says about Toyotaro. It's just that the problem is that he is hardly developing any style on his own and decides to look at the original for reference way more that he should, which at the end of the day results in many pages that seem strangely familiar and uninspired. It's not a crime to take inspiration and reference, but when I see just how much Toyotaro reuses the same poses I just can't not think about it. It's noticeable.

Toyotaro’s approach to gestures and posing could be one of the chief reasons why Toriyama picked him to illustrate the Super manga. You’re very right in saying that there’s a degree of staleness to the posing and composition of modern DB promo art, with only a handful of artists bucking the trend. Part of the reason I’m not a big fan of Toyotarto’s panelling much of the time is that I feel that his strong poses can speak for themselves and say more. That said, his panelling has improved a lot of late, which is very nice to see.

Isn't it an achievement to take over the Dragon Ball franchise? It's basically his own right now, look it up, you think Toriyama is doing much? It's a lie to promote the manga and movies, he is barely doing anything, it's mostly Toyotaro doing all the work and coming up with everything. For example, Ultra Ego Vegeta was Toyotaro's design and idea. Okay maybe Toriyama throws a few character designs here and there, but he is definitely not nearly as involved as they think.
@timothymcqueen34083 жыл бұрын
Toyotarou's current art consists of my favorite Dragon Ball style. His images have a sense of form in the lines on the hair, the weight of the clothes, and the way muscles interconnect rather than simply shift position that makes it so unique and nice to look at.

I feel Toyotaro art gets way too much hate in the Fandom. Yeah at time some of his stuff are perfect, and he's not quite at the level that Toriyama was, but he's still a very talented artist that's able to emulate his style and is pretty dynamic (There's a reason he was chosen to continue the series in Manga) and recently his art has drastically improved in recent chapters of the Dragon Ball Super Super Manga.
