Kid Goku (Dragon Ball Z) – Pixel Art Sprite

About This Piece
A custom static pixel art sprite of Kid Goku, created as a game asset for a client project. This sprite was designed to match the classic 16‑bit / Game Boy Advance aesthetic of the Dragon Ball Z: Legacy of Goku series—staying true to the retro cell‑shaded manga style while keeping the palette simple, vibrant, and game‑ready.

This asset was developed using the original Goten sprite from the Legacy of Goku games as a base. The goal was to transform Goten's design into a recognizable Kid Goku while preserving the exact animation structure, proportions, and pose that made the original sprite feel authentic to the game.

Key modifications made:

Tail: Added a brown monkey tail with a distinct S‑curve behind the back

Outfit Color: Recolored the entire gi from Goten's palette to Goku's signature reddish‑orange

Sleeves: Removed the blue sleeves and recolored the arms to skin tone, giving him a sleeveless martial arts look

Wrist Bands: Added dark navy blue bands around both wrists

Belt: Moved the black sash belt lower to sit on the hips

Emblem: Placed a small white marking on the right side of the chest

All edits were made with pixel‑perfect precision to ensure the sprite stays clean, readable, and true to the source material.
