Lil Michael returns!

This is part 2 of my birthday celebration.

Happy birthday to me! 😄

And what better way to celebrate than with another drawing of another one of my oldest (and my personal favourite) OCs; "Lil Michael".

You might've seen him before as I drew him before back in 2018.

And an edit I did featuring him in the style of Naohiro Shintani.

(You can also consider this a drawing of 'Michael Prime' when he was younger too)

I'll keep his story brief but basically...

He's a younger clone of Michael Prime created from a stolen sample of his DNA after his "supposed death" fighting against a giant monster, but he actually got warped to another universe. He then escaped the facility he was created in, lived alone in the wild for a while until fragments of his "past life" started coming back to him. He would later meet with his template / "older brother" after his return in a multiversal event similar to Sonic Generations. Afterwards, he would then be taken in by a demigoddess princess of a kingdom set in the universe Michael Prime got warped to and befriended who later became Lil Michael's parental guardian in her castle. But then the princess was kidnapped by an evil ruler of a rival kingdom because they were after a set of nine powerful jewels that protect the kingdom, leaving Lil Michael to venture off to get her back. This act then made him recognised as a local hero and a somewhat celebrity figure known by the kingdom.

Unlike his template Michael Prime, he's very goofy and immature (he bursts out with laughter if he hears anybody swear), mostly childish, not exactly the brightest, overly optimistic, tries to act cool, and reckless at times.

He's also a MASSIVE Goku fanboy as he mostly tries to act and talk like him too until he realised that trying to copy him was bringing him down and he needed to focus on just being himself.

But despite these traits, he's a righteous, hopeful and courageous youth whose always up for a challenge, seeking adventure, and looking for something tasty to eat later (like chocolate cake; his favourite).

Also he always seems to retain his small and youthful appearance mostly. That's because when he was first introduced to the nine jewels of the kingdom, he got a little too close to them and sent a shock of immense power through his body which not only altered his personality, making him the happy little guy monkey boy we all know and love, but it also apparently slowed down his ageing process.

Long story short, in comparison to his template, he's more like Goku during both OG DB and GT + Classic Sonic + Crash Bandicoot + Ben Tennyson during the original Ben 10 series + Monkey D. Luffy in terms of character, with a little dash of Ash Ketchum due to the fact he never ages (except when he turns Super Saiyan 4).

(I might make an "in a nutshell" video of the story on my YouTube Channel. I am writing a lengthy abridged version in a Google Document too)

I changed his eyes to look more like Pan's in Super Hero, and made his hair a little more messier in comparison like his biological uncle Turles.

And to those who are curious as to how strong is he and "cAn hE bEaT gOkU?"... The best way I can describe it is this:

Currently, I would say he's around the same level as Goku during GT but maybe 20% weaker in comparison. However, he's no where near as powerful as his template / older brother.

And yes, he can go Super Saiyan (1, 2, 3, 4 and 4 Limit Breaker). He doesn't have the God forms as he believes they're not as cool as the older Super Saiyan forms, unlike his template.

I put maximum effort into this.

If you like my art, please tell me what you like about it.
