A little project I've been working on with friends. I'll be writing a what if story, my first ever fanfiction, about Tarble. And for each part I decided to do a little mock up manga cover even though it's not going to be a Manga (I'm not that skillful.) Ignore it saying part two, I'm a chud and drew this one first before the other one.

If you have any questions to ask, fill free to because I have a lot of drafts to go through, and I don't see me uploading what I've written until like....maybe September. On AO3, of course. I also have to finish the other covers.

Some people say that King Vegeta sending Tarble away instead of just killing him may elude to the fact that he did somewhat care about him. But like when you factor that it's typical to send low class saiyans away. And that, given what he did to Broly, sending people away just seems to be his answer to stuff he doesn't want to deal with. It kinda loses me for him to send Tarble away as a kindness. Though he was around long enough for Vegeta to know he existed, so maybe he came to this decision after a while. It's really vague.

Their twinning it's literally the same expression. Another point to the Manga Tarble design. I love it so much.

Who are you trying to rizz Vegeta 😭

Hi there. How's everything going with you? Do you accept Request or Art trades?

No, sorry, I don't unfortunately.

I think the worst thing Super did (and honestly, Dragon Ball at large) was make Vegeta wear his Cell saga armor. And I know that's not a hot take, but it bothers me alot. Not only because it undoes his clothes evolution as a bunch of people point out. But that's literally the armor of his freaking oppressor. Vegeta hates Frieza with his full chest. Why would he continue to wear armor related to him after his character arc of finding a place on Earth, redeeming himself, and finally being happy with his family and status? It made sense for him in the Cell saga because Vegeta was objectively still an antagonist. But if you're going to do that beyond the point, at least let him wear the grey version that Bulma specifically made for him. Because that represents something different.

Tarble was aurafarming so goddammit hard for no reason. Little bro, you is not like that.

This is why I can't understand why people don't like him. It's so cool to me that he has literally EVERY aspect of his family but somehow is NOT evil. How do you mess up that badly. Did all the evilness go into Vegeta or something?

Not to self, never draw old school Dragon Ball my hand hurts.

Another art of Tarble (manga version) while I yap about him a bit.

So Tarble, I think most people forget he exists and for good reason. He's pretty forgettable in his special and he doesn't have that much staying power with what we got. But unironically, he is my favorite DBZ character based on concept alone.

The concept that Vegeta has a brother is just a little whatever to me, but the added detail that this brother is the complete opposite to him is where the idea gets its merit. Tarble is a pacifist saiyan. The only other saiyans like that are the sons family. Which makes him such an enigma because he's from VEGETA'S family. Like how does that even happen. Of course, that's not to say the idea doesn't have some problems. Because while the initial shock that he's docile and kind compared to how Vegeta is a great twist. It loses its wow factor pretty quickly because nothing is done with it. And I blame that more on the fact Tarble is a late addition that couldn't be explored like his brother. This is why I've been trying to reimagine him for my own AU. Because I think more can be done with him than him just being the "nice one" in his pretty messed up family.

Anyways, let's talk design, Manga Tarble clears the anime it's not a contest. His manga design actually says he's Vegeta brother. And while a lot of people think that's a huge downside and that they look too similar. They really don't share many similarities besides small resemblace because...well their brothers. In fact, the biggest change being Tarbles' hair is what sets them apart and helps his design tremendously. Vegeta and his fathers hair points straight up. It doesn't matter the angle his hair will always point up. But Tarble's hair in the Manga points to the side, specifically the left, perpetually. Meaning at different angles, his hair will not do the mickey mouse thing of never changing. And will look different depending on the shot. This, along with other things like Tarble having bigger eyes, a more youthful appearance given he's a younger adult, etc. They help distinguish him from Vegeta but also keep his genes showing. Here's an image to demonstrate what I mean. Traced from some Vegeta official art and the manga but only to show as an example.

Anyways, that's about all my yap for today. If I keep going, this will never end. I just love Tarble and want to talk about him
