Okay, man. So, either Videl is super-duper short or Gohan is uber-duber tall
The only parts I edited were the additions to the art! O_o I did NOT draw Gohan, Videl or Goten!! This is from the actual cover page from the DB manga, Chapter 234: Videl Learns to Fly.
Videl and Gohan's heights are so mysterious! O.o ~Avalonbluemoon and I had a long discussion about this at her deviation in the club --> [link] (you can read it in the comments if you want XD)
I always wanted to do something like this, but never got around to it till I got a question from ~kittenthecat about Videl's height from page 220. "Is Videl really that short?" Yes! Yes, she is!! XDD (In fact, on 220, I think I made her taller than she's supposed to be!) O.o
In the manga, she's always been this short. In the anime, (and especially in GT >.< ) they like to change things around. WTF?! How do you get a sudden 6-inch growth spurt in your 30's (when you're a woman, on top of that)?!!
The only time it changes in the manga is when it would hinder Toriyama's composition (like, half of her head would be off of the panel or something). But when things like that-- in addition to weird angles-- aren't present/ aren't a problem, she is definitely this size, in relation to Gohan. There were other images proving this also (in the manga), but I just didn't scan them all. Besides, this one was the most obvious (that Toriyama wanted it this way) and the most exact time when either are not being foreshortened.
Videl is not up to Gohan's shoulder for cryin' out loud! At the most, it's his lower-to-middle-chest area.
Why do I care about this so much?! Do you have to ask?!! XDD (If you have to ask, just look at my avatar! XD)
And, even IF I changed the 'scale' on how large 1 ft. would be, Videl would still be like 4-foot-something, and Gohan 6-ft-something...! o_O;; Either way, (to quote Ava) "Videl is really really REALLY short. or Gohan is just really REALLY tall. XD tha' world shall never know..."
Yes, unfortunately... Which is why I'm asking Mr. Toriyama, hahaha. XD (As if he'll ever read this. XDD)
Were you hoping for a real I.D.? MY bad. But, I love Gh/Vi, so they're "a part" of me, too! ;D ^_~
That's...very puzzling.
Videl looks like a little kid!
*sings* Someone made a mistaaaaake!
I love Goten, he's so cute! *tackles Goten in glee*
Awesome ID though!

If so, it's not that much. (I would have to get my last DB volume to tell you for sure (I left it at college ), but as far as I remember, there's nothing really proving it in the manga that she grew any. (There are basically no shots of them together like in this picture, where they're on the same ground level :0...)
I don't trust the anime. XD They're way too inconsistent. XD
Besides, girls usually stop physical growth (of tallness, at least) in their teens anyway, and according to the DBZ timeline, she was like 17-18 at this time. I mean... it's really rare for any girl to grow *that* much when they're already that old... At least bone structure/growth...XD Okai, I'm getting way too into this...XDD ^_^;

We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
This is a collection of deviations showing real Pinups in the classic Retro poses from various Artists. For the 4rd time I present a variation of Vintage Pinup Queens as well as fresh modern Pinup art. If you love Polkadots, seamed Nylons, Plateau-Heels and and Miles-long-legs you should not miss this collection.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
