I am devastated. The impact this guy’s work had on my one life was immense.
My own username is a phonetic adaptation I came up with when I was a kid and adapted into my first email and did so because I loved Dragon Ball Z.
One of the first RPGs I ever experienced as a kid was Chrono Trigger - which he was the lead artist for, and I remember seeing his work for the first time reading Nintendo Power reading about Dragon Quest and how it stood out from all other illustrations I’d seen.
In school I would endlessly doodle character illustrations both from his work, and of my own creation but obviously based off his unique illustrative style.
As an adult, I’ve done everything from trying to make my own fan version of the “Rock the Dragon” early dub opening reminiscent of my own memory of watching it both on Saturday mornings and Toonami… to recently somewhat randomly animating a funny audio recording of my own wife’s sometimes inaccurate (sometimes not!) descriptions of Dragon Ball.
