Yay, you posted it! You already know how much I love these sketches, but I’ll say it again – I LOVE the way you drew Uub. There’s just not enough decent art of him out there, and yours is probably the best I’ve seen so far. <:
I really like that center sketch of him, that expression, you can definitely see Buu’s personality coming through there. X3 And the mid-transformation one, would love to see more mid-change sketches~ You’re able to capture pain and emotions so well, NNGH.
And I love how we both envisioned nearly the EXACT same thing for Uub’s mother. XP
As for your style, it’s wonderful and you shouldn’t feel so worried about it and what others might think. There are going to be people who don’t care for a particular interpretation of a character, and that’s ok, as long as they behave maturely about it. For the ones who insist on being butt-nuggets, the best thing to do is let it roll off your back the best that you can, because when you stop doing what you love and what makes YOU happy because of them, they've won.
I know there are many people, myself included, who always look forward to seeing your works and interpretations of beloved characters and SQUEE internally (sometimes verbally…) when your art pops up in our watch feed. XD
Your style is all your own and recognizable. Even from a tiny thumbnail, I instantly know who drew it. You inspire others with your creations, both written and drawn, and I myself prefer seeing the Z characters in YOUR style, rather than Toriyama’s. ;3

"...whenever I want to share it with the public I'm overwhelmed with self-loathing and doubt."
I had no idea you felt that way. I've always thought how confident you must be to take the time to learn to draw the characters, then add your own style in the mix. You've taken these characters and made them your own, creating your own story-lines that I know I can say that are awesome.
I love your art style, and I love seeing your posts. I'm pretty much invisible online, but I am here
"I'm a has-been and subjecting myself to the criticisms of the Z-fans is an incredible source of anxiety..."
No you are not! And if dealing with people is too much, then turn off the comments and let the people who do enjoy your work do so. Some people love these fictional characters way too much to let anyone else share their visions of them and their imaginations are ruined. They need to learn to keep it to themselves and let others enjoy it.
Their negativity is destructive, and I hope that you can find enough positivity to counter it. Have a nice day!
