Welcome Back Gohan
Webmaster’s Note: This is illustration is a prize for Trynia Merin’s story “Second Chances for Love” which was entered in Boxer & Rice Summer 2008 Fanfic Contest.
“Gohan, thank Kami,” cried a voice that he last recalled trailing off, pleading him to not leave him behind. Just before him bobbed two faces, one of an antennaed Namekian, and the other with long lavender hair. Tendrils of it partly obscured the intense blue eyes staring straight into his soul. Mind reeling Gohan quickly scanned the area and then arched his head backwards to take in the soaring figure of a great Dragon hovering over them all. Other blurs formed into the shapes of robed Namekians rininging seven glowing spheres, under a stormy sky slashed with strokes of lightening.
White gloved hands seized him as Gohan leapt to his feet and into a slightly defensive posture, spinning around in disbelief to take in his surroundings. The stump of his amputated left arm twitched as well, swinging its blue sleeve that flapped and blew in the wind. Just before him, those familiar blue eyes looked up and their owner spoke his name, “Gohan! It worked! You’re alive again!”
Long lavender hair hung over the eyes, the rest of it gathered at the back of his neck. Gohan stammered in shock, blinking in disbelief at the young man who suddenly wrapped strong muscular arms around his waist. Tightly they latched there as he felt someone squeezing his ribs and burying their face in his chest. All Gohan could stammer was, “Trunks… is that you… what in the hell just happened?”
“Gohan! I never thought I’d see you again!” another familiar voice declared and he swung his face around to see Dende, a bit taller but unmistakable.”

The comic fits really well this scene. You did a splendid job with Porunga. Dende looks quite cute, and Mirai Trunks looks so happy to have his Gohan back. You really did justice to Trynia Merin’s story. Personally I think it’s one of the best illustration you ever did.

This is absolutely EXQUISITE. I am just blown away by the quality of this artwork. Gohan’s blushing is so sweet, and Dende’s expression is wonderful. You did a GREAT job capturing the emotion in the moment. It’s absolutely PERFECT.
The way Gohan’s sash from his Gi is blowing in the wind is a nice touch that gives it motion. Trunks eyes in the lower right panel are so sweet and lovely. I really get the sense of lovers long lost now reunited.
Incredible. I’m so thrilled!
