This new take might be controversial! Looking back, I had tried to integrate too much of the Toriyama design elements, for the face, it just wasn't my "style", so this time I though I'd just go ahead and revamp that whole area! The second issue was with the energy blast that vaporized her clothes, I remembered that I always wanted the composition to play on the original idea but back then I couldn't make it work.
I know why now, I kinda screwed myself with the positioning of the figure, the angle didn't allow for a realistic background with comical beam damage like I had imagined, so I added those panels instead. It wasn't a bad solution, here however I chose to use that damage behind her to enhance the shape dynamic in a more abstract way.
I know some of you will like the old one better, I experimented a bit here and the result is a bit more raw and gritty, perhaps at the cost of appeal'
