Piccolo is a bad guy in Dragon Ball. He’s green! But what if he wasn’t green? And didn’t look like a bad guy, but a bald guy?
On 2ch, Japan’s largest online forum, drawings of Piccolo with light-colored skin were posted, with the uploader apologising in jest. (You can use these Piccolo images as masks, if you like!)
Commenters began saying that Piccolo looks like “just an ordinary bald guy”. Well, an ordinary bald guy with antennas, pointy ears and an enormous head.
The image was tweaked some more every so slightly.
This, of course, lead to comparisons with Japanese professional baseball player Hichori Morimoto, who actually dressed up as Piccolo during a 2006 Japanese All-Star game.
As a child, Morimoto was stricken with a disease that caused all his hair to fall out. He’s since recovered, but still shaves his head and, in Japan, the fan favourite is often compared to Piccolo.

so you’re changing him from an alien to a human? doesnt that defeat the purpose of the character?
make his skin flesh tone doesnt necessarily make him more human looking

Then give him Vegeta’s hair, and now he is Vegeta.
So he becomes Onepunch Man? http://i1.mangareader.net/onepunch-man/11/onepunch-man-3799059.jpg
It’s the expression in the green pic that makes him look like a bad guy.
Just because you are bad guy, does not mean you are bad guy.
