Excellent work overall! I see you have great potential - kudos to you for producing a very complex work!
I like your cel-shading and the application of the concept of shadows - very simple, uncluttered and quite pronounced. I think this is the main attraction of your work here. This is recurring quality I see in the other works in your gallery - so keep it up! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Thumbs Up"/> The way you placed the characters and gave emphasis on Gohan by drawing him full-body also gives a powerful effect on the theme and message you're trying to convey to your audience here. The layout, too, works for the piece because it's simple and quite uniform in nature.
The only thing I'd like to point out in this piece is that you keep improving your anatomy - though you did get the basics right, the anatomy still seems a little bit odd to me. The shoulders here is a little off - it's a little too broad. Since Gohan here is, technically, 11 during his battle in the Cell Saga, figuratively his shoulders shouldn't be that broad - you can try to make it a little smaller, as you can see in these examples:
*Take note of how the shoulders look like on Gohan and how his physique looks quite slender and less muscular despite his ascending to Super Saiyan/Super Saiyan 2.
Overall, a very excellent work. Keep on creating, give more practice and emphasis on anatomy, and you'll be well on your way in growing to be a great artist!
