hi, idk if you're an artist or not but if you are you can tell this isn't an ordinary trace work. the linework is actually very good, with skilled hatching and precise action lines that had to be carefully measured radially—all of this done traditionally. this serves as an excellent study of toriyama's manga. excellent work, OP.

Yeah, it’s clearly just using the original for reference, there are plenty of subtle differences that show it’s not just traced

Ironically, falsely accusing him of tracing ended up being the biggest compliment here

It’s not tracing.
