Dragon Ball Z Fan Creates 3D Art So Convincing You'll Swear It's Real Life

As a lifelong Dragon Ball Z enthusiast with a particular fondness for the intricate details and nuances of each character, I find myself utterly captivated by Oscar Perez Ayala’s masterful 3D art. His renditions of iconic characters like Krillin, Piccolo, Majin Buu, and Frieza are nothing short of breathtaking – their steely gazes and explosive energy levels are a testament to the artist’s skill and passion for the series.


As a diehard fan of Dragon Ball, it’s evident that the senzu beans growing on Oscar Perez Ayala’s patch have an extra potent kick, given the sheer intensity of his work in bringing to life the legendary characters created by Akira Toriyama. Known as Oscar3d1996 on Instagram, he breathes new life into these iconic figures, including Krillin, Piccolo, Majin Buu, and Frieza. His creations capture the intense glares and the simmering tension that have become synonymous with these characters before they unleash their powerful kicks, punches, and ear-piercing screams. The energy in his work is beyond 9,000, pushing the boundaries of what Dragon Ball fans have come to expect.

In regards to the fictional characters Ayala has brought to life, they are visually stunning. Piccolo maintains his imposing presence due to the rough Namekian skin texture, while key members of the Ginyu Force appear even more impressive when viewed through Ayala’s perspective, with their distinctive Scouters enhancing the realism of this “Dragon Ball” universe. However, despite how incredible the villains look in this series, there’s one aspect that suggests a live-action/CGI adaptation of “Dragon Ball” might work wonderfully in some areas, but could be problematic in others – even with Ayala’s exceptional skills at character design.

A real-life Dragon Ball proves some humans will never look right

To avoid seeming critical of the artist’s fantastic work, let me express that there are certain characters, such as Krillin, which even Oscar Perez Ayala finds challenging to portray perfectly. The reason for this challenge is what fans might anticipate. Although he manages to capture the classic bald head and six dots flawlessly, the fact that Krillin lacks a nose is a detail that audiences would find hard to overlook if these character designs were ever made into real-life figures. The smooth egg with eyes, often getting his gi beaten by Frieza and Cell, cannot be ignored, especially in a potential film adaptation. A “Dragon Ball” musical might be acceptable, but seeing Goku’s little Voldemort-looking companion on screen would be an entirely different experience.

It’s fortunate that Ayala has created two designs for the character, one of which closely resembles manga style and another with a nose, potentially enhancing his ability to detect danger. Alongside Goku’s close friend, characters like Yamcha, whose scars are spot on, are also well-represented. Master Roshi, Dr. Gero, and other human-like heroes and villains look fantastic as well, making Krillin and his noseless appearance stand out even more. If Hollywood ever decides to remake “Dragon Ball,” taking cues from BossLogic’s stunning artwork or Ayala’s work would be a wise choice for inspiration.
