super beach day

What a fabulous title. Moving on...

I made this with the hope of hitting two early birds with one worm (yeah, that's right). This is actually for the lovely ladies over at DBZ Beauties. The nature of the subject matter, however, is a little different than usual, so let me explain: this is Bulma and Juuhachigou from the DragonBall Super Z universe, which is why a) Bulma is young and sporty (and ripped, apparently) and b) Juu is all bashful and shy-like. The original idea for the picture was that it was from Trunks' perspective (like he's already chilling out in the water and Bulma and Juu are wading out to meet him). Ehh... =.=

Juu's right hand is intentionally small due to (bad) forshortening, not misplaced proportions. I also loved back in the old DragonBall when Bulma would wear clothes with her name plastered all over them. Good times.

The original image was 3510x2550. And be sure to check out Walk This World if you're awesome.
