Origin of *that* SSJ5 Goku DBAF Image?

Post by DaemonCorps » Sun Nov 20, 2022 1:34 am

Saw someone suggest a group redraw of the infamous SSJ5 Goku Dragon Ball AF image on twitter. And scrolling through replies, noticed someone by the name of Tablos AF claiming to be the original artist. Though considering the nature of fanart, it's honestly pretty hard to confirm they are who they say they are, especially since they don't post in English, so things like auto-translate can't be taken too seriously. Was wondering if there was any definitive proof that this person is the actual artist behind the image outside of them saying so.

I don't remember which thread it was (and my search drew up a blank) but if I remember correctly someone did a deep-dive investigation and managed to actually find who created that piece.

One guy help created a internet phenomena which lead Toyotarou to make his own AF fan manga, and Toyotarou now works with Toriyama for DBS.

Dao of Dragon Ball might've been the first to reveal its origin. He also had an interview with the artist, David Montiel or TablosAF.

It's good to finally know where this came from. I remember when I was 10 years old and getting so hyped up for AF and I continued to believe that it was gonna premiere at any time now for another 2 years.

Well, actually the first place was of course here - in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=19484 . That's where Dao of Dragon Ball took it from :) His post was the second one in said thread.
