DBRedux Project

Since Bardock's recently been a point of contention (AGAIN), here's my take for the project's events in the new style.

DBR Planet Kaishin (Demon Realm) v1

Toriyama’s artwork for Planet Kaishin was revealed at Genki Damatsuri this weekend. Unlike in the anime, the elderly Gurindoan had a unique colored outfit in the image. So I did a quick update to their colors.

Girl, I've been working on the DB project for over a decade and it's nowhere near done. Our project's script wasn't remotely finished, and at this point probably won't be. We aren't getting any younger either.

Let's be honest, we have nothing and will continue to have nothing.

Special invites are handled by approval from the site's webmaster(s), and regular invites are distributed as a reward for Patreon donations. I have no power.

Gonna hold off on anymore Super content for the foreseeable future in case the remake rumor has legs.

Not inherently interested in it based on supposed details tho. Needs better colors & compositing at the very least. If it’s the same style, just less off model…even new story tweaks won’t save it.

This is a bit of a shame to me. As (one of?) Toriyama’s last project(s), I wish it felt more like a love letter to DB and his other works (Jaco, Sand Land, etc) & the designs the art style was originally trying to encompass, not just improving it to align with the cooler DB franchise at large.

I hate to say this with how much work friends obviously put into the project, but while the choices for crafting the new version do make for a better story than what we got, the project now evokes the Toei films, GT, etc. Especially with a lot of the new designs that facilitate the changes.

Despite having my own intention to revise Daima, I caved and started watching the DB Magic rewrite. While I have almost exclusively positive things to say about the care that went into the writing overall, it’s not remotely what I would’ve wanted out of the series.

It very much feels like some looked at “10+1” and thought that’s the bonus, rather than Minus. But even that seems hard to rationalize since their chapters are obviously taken from the volume version now, given they include the characters profiles. It’s all pretty clearly labeled in the ToC…

@viz.com Is there a reason Jaco the Galactic Patrolman stops at Chapter 10? I get not having the Minus Special Chapter from the volume release, but Chapter 11 was part of the original run of the series in the magazine.

End portion of Jaco 100% puts the guy on the spectrum. He's so out of pocket. Offers to take his friends to space, then tells Tights not to pop the hatch and kill them while they're up there. When she retorts she's actually a genius, he ignores her to talk about the extinction bomb with Omori.

You.

Updated sheet for Vegetto during Daima/Ozotto.

No potara in this arc, because they fuse with the join bugs. For the project, the earrings are made from the bugs. And the extra enchantments or whatever changes them to be permanent.

Daima, despite shaking up more than a few plans for the project (as is usual for new content), has been kind of fun to retroactively work with. Now I can insert some of the series’ fun bullshit, like having Dabra wonder if Super Saiyan is some form of magic. lol

My back pain has had me borderline bedridden for a while. Not sure when I’ll be able to get back to sitting long enough to draw for the project, but I have been trying to utilize the that time to work on the text portions again, at least.

While I’ll be keeping the account technically alive just to keep the username, I’ve removed all art off of Twitter. The upcoming user agreement changes for 2026 were already bad, but the AI button really sped up the decision

Alternate accounts, for anyone interested.

I need a proper scan of this Dabra card. :/

Gomah is definitely drawn bigger in both forms at times in the anime, but this is as far as I am willing to take him.
