Since it’s been a minute, let me start by introducing the Dragon Ball F concept for anyone who doesn’t remember the older content.
Dragon Ball F is an older AU concept of mine, set in a universe where someone (probably Roshi) used the Super Dragon Balls to fundamentally rewrite that reality into one where only women exist. So it’s not a full genderswap AU, but all the male characters are women. In this universe, procreation happens with the help of futa beans, which have replaced senzu beans and are prevalent across the universe. I did some pics with this concept in the past, a few not that long ago, but I was never fully happy with the project and it kept sputtering out.
Not too long ago I began experimenting with using AI to write out a canon for Dragon Ball F, and this has really revitalized my interest in the project. I’m not really a proponent of AI or anything, and I find most uses of it I see to be pretty lame. However, I do toy around with it for some side projects, and in this case found it rather useful. Retelling all of DBZ would be way too big of a project for me to ever realistically do, unless I dropped all other projects and made that my whole identity. Obviously that’s not going to happen, but letting AI handle the bulk of the writing while I guide it is much faster and more manageable, even if the final result isn’t as high of quality. Compared to not existing at all, I think it’s acceptable.
You can find the chapters so far in the Literature Directory of my site, where they’ve been updating somewhat regularly. Working on this project has given me a better internal idea of how I see the “F” versions of characters, and it got me wanting a fresh start. So I’ve made a list of characters who I’d like to spotlight, starting of course with Goku. My original Goku F pic was a disaster, I honestly don’t remember what lead to the choices I made there, but I did tweak her design a bit in later pics to some success. This time I feel like I’ve finally settled on a design that suits her, and I hope y’all will like this version. Piccolo will be next, but I’m not looking to rush these out quickly or anything so it could be a bit before we see her.
