hey im not dead but i DID draw a lot of a17 cause i love him very dearly (+ a18 and piccolo designs and bits of cell)

also made the choice to redesign super 17 in like an hour bc i’m sick of talking abt that big forehead FUCK.

first off, my outfit sketches cause i did this embarrassingly wrong

uhhh im gonna add a keep reading here cause the rest of him IS mostly artistic nudity, soooooo

here he is, in all his glory,,,

+ alts

to best describe what’s going on with his design, i’ll speedrun my redesign stuff and a lil bit of a rewritten gt in my eyes

i have a hc where 17 and 18 are both a quarter demon twins who never had any real connection to the oddity of their bodies or the way their minds ran. they have literally no clue of what they are until gt time, where gero and myuu, plotting in hell, make hellfighter 17 who seems to have taken on those demon qualities a bit too much.

anyways they fuse and super 17 is weird demon man who doesn’t know what to make of himself but he’s stuck between loving it and hating it

uhmmm if anyone wants more of my weird dragon ball stuff lmk cause i did redesign both the son and briefs families and it’d be nice to yap abt them too

“17!! Please, listen to me!”

“He was right, 18, he was right!! I CAN be perfect, I don’t NEED any of this!!!”

super 17 is never quite himself, even when he thinks he is. the hellish version of himself and the original are always fighting for control, and when hellfire takes over, it's like he's gone manic. he's an emotional mess, not even his own sister can get him to calm down.

The dynamic Miss Janelle Monae, from this photo.  Considering it's her, I took care to do a better job with this one, and I'm happier with these results.  Still exclusively using the tablet, and trying to get used to it, but it's getting better.

Fuck The Retail Equation. Fuck Best Buy. And fuck Samsung's repair service.

So, long story short, i bought a tablet back during black friday.  The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 to be exact.  And at first it was great -- til i saw a dead pixel.  So I went back to Best Buy to exchange it.  But I couldn't even do that because I got flagged and banned from making returns thanks to the many defective exchanges I did on the nexus 7 the year before.  A call to Best Buy corporate fixed that issue and was able to get another tablet.  When I exchanged it, i got flagged again and called corporate to let them know.  After that, it seemed all was right with the world.  But this new one had a stain in the screen, making viewing angles terrible.  Not wanting to go through the returns debacle again (and possibly get flagged again), I made use of the manufacturer's warranty.  So I called Samsung up and they had me send it in.  Unfortunately they couldn't find the problem.  

However, this is where things get really stupid.  It turns out there was another problem ON TOP of the stupid yellow stain in the corner or whatever. I discovered that whenever the backlight is at the lowest possible brightness, it FLICKERS. Thinking this was a more obvious problem than the one I complained about previously (and to prevent being flagged for excessive returns), I sent it in to samsung in the hopes that I would finally get a perfect product.

So I sent it in a little after winter break started, and when they got it, they apparently couldn't find the problem with the screen and instead replaced the battery. I'm pretty upset by this point, so immediately after got my tablet back, I called them up and told them the problem was still there. At their request, they told me to include a note detailing exactly what the problem was (including the steps taken to reproduce the problem). So I wrote the note, boxed the tablet back up and sent it back in for repair.

Well guess what? I got a call from the rep Thursday morning telling me that they couldn't find any problems with it. Me not wanting to be one of those idiot customers, I kept calm and thoroughly explained the problem again. He said he'd give it back to the technician for reevaluation and thanked me.

Now fast foward to this afternoon and I got an email containing the Repair Statement. And you know what they said? They said, once again: "NO TROUBLE FOUND."

Look, guys, I'm really, really pissed off about this whole thing. All I wanted was a tablet that was free from any and all problems. I dared to rectify the issue by exchanging it and I got flagged because apparently exchanging defective products too many times is grounds for a 90-day return ban. And now when I decide to use the fucking manufacturer warranty, I'm being told there is no problem with my device when there IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM WITH IT???!!!

WHAT KIND OF FUCKING JOKE IS THIS? YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND NOT WHINE ABOUT IT?! CAN I NOT HAVE A TABLET THAT IS PROBLEM FREE WHATSOEVER?! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

Fucking shit products being sold these days. I'd rather just throw the damn thing away than send it back in at this point. It's just not worth it anymore.
