Hello Deviants!

I am just ecstatic! After many years of planning, I've finally begun my DBZ doujinshi series! *takes in deep breaths* Ok, first off, I would like to thank two fellow deviants of mine for their words of encouragement and making me feel welcomed here on DevianArt; Ishimaruk12, and Eevee445! See, I’ve only been a member of DeviantArt for a few months which makes me a newbie while these ladies have had accounts for a number of years *feels like a freshmen hanging out with seniors* Anyway, both of these women also have their own successful Naruto fan manga series and they have been giving me useful tips to jump start on my own! Ishimaruk12 is the artist of the online doujinshi Naruto ND, which you can read here [link] and Eevee445’s doujinshi, Naruto NGNR can be read via [link] Thanks again Artist-sama and Eevee445! Wow, I feel like those actors who give drawn out acceptance speeches at the Oscars*lol* Getting back on track…

The doujinshi is of the Action/Adventure genre which dabbles in humor/drama/and romance involving most of the original DBZ cast and introducing some new characters (much like the original DBZ series did with each saga without dominating the central plot). This will be a serialized doujinshi with a four-page update every week; the Fates allowing…Oh and the name of this fan manga is Dragon Ball Z ~Shades of Gray~ Don't worry, as vague as the title may sound, there is a theme shown throughout the manga that relates to the title that readers may or may not pick up on(if not, I reveal the name's origins towards the end*smiles*)

It’s funny, as hyped up about the project as I sound, deep in my heart of hearts; I've lost most of my enthusiasm for this fan manga over the years. Like I mentioned before, the idea is really old, dating back to the early 2000’s when DBZ was at its most popular and I was at the peak of fanatic craziness over DBZ. Now, my new anime love is Naruto; as any one could guess from my gallery*Sweat drops* Because of this, My main reason for finally starting this doujinshi is so that I can get it done and out of my system so that I may begin my new Naruto story (which will also be a doujinshi) Doing two fan manga series at once would be too much for me so I’m working on them one at a time! It’s not that I don’t love my DBZ doujinshi, I’m really proud of it*smiles* I just like Naruto idea more and anxious to get started!! At the rate I’m going, I won’t be finished with my DBZ doujinshi long until the Naruto manga series has finished it’s run; which is probably a good thing because I can apply revelations made in the manga to my own!

For those of you who are still reading, thank you for your time and I hope my doujinshi lives up to the expectations of all DBZ fans out there!

Please come and read this week’s starting pages (03/08/08), thank you!  Cover [link] , Page 1 [link] , Page 2 [link] , Page 3 [link]
