Sketches I’ve made for @aladayle !!! The Frieza and Cooler image is from their amazing story Regalia while the image of Recoome in a trabant and Goku comforting Cell are from the super fun Backwater (check em’ out!)

Thank you again for the tip!!

REMINDER: I am still offering waist-up sketches if you donate between $1.00 USD to $10.00 USD to my Ko-fi! Any more than that, you can get a full body sketch! (regular commissions of course are still open HERE)

Additional Details Regarding what I will/won’t sketch here

I don’t like Guildo. Of the Ginyu Force, he is my least favorite. Just click my avatar and look how my picture blocks out Guildo in the header photo. He’s not even appreciated there! Not to mention he was the easiest to kill. Which is a freaking surprise, mainly because, I dunno... HE CAN STOP TIME. I mean, yeah, he has to hold his breath, but he has one other attack: HOLDING HIS ENEMIES IN PLACE. Why can’t he do that every Ginyu mission? And don’t tell me “they like to play with their food” and whatever. This is the most elite fighting team in the universe. They can’t be doing that all the time.

Guildo’s paralysis  move holds enemies in place, where they can just wait to be killed. It’s the best move anyone can have. Paralyze them, attack, move on. Hell, to an extent Guildo is the most powerful member of the Ginyu Force.

Yeah. I just opened that can of worms. Oh, God...

Look, I hate Guildo, but think about it. He may not have as high a power level as the rest of the team, but he has a ONE-HIT K.O. People complain that Ginyu can just switch bodies with Frieza, so why does nobody complain about Guildo using his paralysis move on Frieza? Hell, Guildo is the most powerful person in the universe, then. Screw that nonsense about Goku or Gohan or Vegeta. 

Guildo. Freakin’ Guildo.

So why doesn’t Guildo use this move all the time? God knows, it could just be bad writing. But what if there was a reason for this?

Whenever he fights, it’s as if he’s trying to prove himself to his other team members. He’s obviously insecure about his significance in the team, but why doesn’t he use his paralysis move to show his maximum power? Well, that just might be it. It’s his max. Just like Ginyu doesn’t use his body-switching move until really needed, Guildo doesn’t use his paralysis move until that last minute.  It would look embarrassing if he just used his last resort at the first moment of trouble. And that’s what the Ginyu Force is all about, presentation and showing off. Which I guess makes Guildo fit in more than he realizes. 

Don’t get me wrong, I still hate the little bastard. But I get his problems.

Carry on Guildo, and maybe, one day, I’ll find myself a DBZ header photo that won’t block your stout ass.

If you like hearing about DBZ topics you never thought you’d hear of, check out santarobintv, where you can read my personal qualms with the first two saga, my fix-it fan-fic idea for the first saga, and the purpose of Yamcha.

Here’s a question for you, though: How would Guildo fit in your ranking of the Ginyu Force? Don’t give your full ranking of the Ginyu force, though. Because there’s sure to be more Ginyu stuff to come in the future, with more opinions and thoughts. Also, do you agree with my theory, or do you think he was just written the wrong way? 

Hope you enjoyed, have a good day, and I’ll see ya soon.
