vamp vash again this year, yep.... #vashwood #trigun
doodle comic following up the original post. wolfwood wakes suddenly with wide eyes, text reading “i’m alive!” he looks in the mirror, reflection still visible, and touches his bandaged neck, “still human!” cut to vash sitting somewhere in the room, asleep, “that bastard didn’t go crazy. and he’s still here? …” wolfwood then realizes with an embarrassed look, “then there wasn’t a point to that at all…” small flashback to wolfwood baring his cut wrist to a pissed off vash, shouting “ya think ya won’t kill anyone?! all vampires have that instinct!”

dinner #vashwood #trigun
fanart of trigun max, alternate universe where vash is a vampire. framed to see the back of the couch and vash sitting upright while wolfwood’s legs are peeking out from behind it, his hand also visibly gripping onto the front of vash’s shirt as though to keep him close. vash is looking down at him, lips bloodied and licking off the thumb of his gloved hand. in the dirty mirror on the wall behind vash, wolfwood’s lying body against the couch can be seen, his hand gripping at something invisible, and bitten on the neck and wrist.

#trigun
The roots from the previous illustration comes into this page, giving an expansive ground. At the center, it shows Vash being hugged energetically by Meryl, Milly, and Livio, all of them jumping at him, and all of them tilting back to eventually fall together. The background is white with blue clouds in the distance and the silhouette of Hopeland’s Orphanage. At the top center pictures the roots carrying a red apple.

let’s see the world together, let’s walk through it together.

#trigun
Knives carries an unconscious Vash with an arm around his back, similarly to how he did in vol 97. Knives’ expression can’t be seen, blocked by the smoke coming from his face, but the blood on his face mimics tears falling. The palette is of greens, accented by the previous bright red. Still being in zero gravity space, Vash’s unconscious body floats and Knives floats along too, but roots are forming from his body, giving him footing to push along. The roots eventually form into a full ground on the other half of the canvas and a tree that separates the two sequences. The background on the other half of the canvas is now white and Vash lies alone against the roots in his outfit post vol.97. He is no longer floating. From the tree, it sprinkles out the same confetti and stars from the first illustration in the thread.

don’t let go! don’t say you’d rather die!

#trigun
Vash’s hair is darkened half, indicating post vol 10. He’s smiling brightly, head tilted back as Wolfwood holds his neck and face, pressing a kiss on his cheek with closed eyes and a gentle smile. The beads of his broken rosary floats upwards. From Vash’s back, a half of it sprouts a full feathered wing, filling up most of the right side canvas. The other half sprouts his plant-feather wings, curling around the side of the canvas . The palette is of the previous pink, bright red, and a red/orange tinted white. Confetti floats around them. On the bottom right, two roots are shown to lead into the next piece.

the blank ticket in your hand is just waiting to be filled in.

#trigun
The first shows Vash in his early Trimax outfit, slightly curled in on himself floating, but is surprised out of it with Wolfwood “stepping” into his space, pulling a coattail to stop him from hiding. They both hold their respective weapons with their right hand and the rest of Vash’ coattail floats around him. The palette is blue, accented by the previous teal. Bullet shells float around them. Vash is now joined by Meryl and Milly, Meryl who hugs him tightly with her face in his chest and Vash looks at her surprised. Wolfwood also now hugs hum too with one arm around his back. Milly’s arms are spread open, encompassing a hug to all of them and smiling brightly. Mail, posters, and a pen floats around them. The palette is pink, accented by the previous blue.

you can go anywhere, vash. even if you’re in the dark right now— (1/5)

#trigun
Sequential illustrations of various Vash’s throughout his journey in Trigun Max through the use of the zero gravity space, floating. The background is flat black. First, younger Vash is curled into a ball, his knees pulled near his chest and arms crossed against them, looking at a star. Palette is warm yellow. Next is Vash, Rem, and Knives floating together, Rem at Vash’s left with a hand on his shoulder and her other hand on Knives’ arm. Knives floats from the top down, arms open to release confetti and stars. Palette of greens, Knives in a warmer hue. Then young Vash and Knives are back to back in their ch.76 outfits, Knives faces upwards with a scythe formed out of his wrist and a bullet hole at his shoulder. He’s color in red. Vash leans against his knee, a hand holds a gun, the other freshly cut and bandaged. He’s color in teal green. The last Vash, now older, is of pre-Trimax. He’s further curled in on himself, his coattails float upwards to cover him. Color in teal blue and red.

vash turns away from meryl, looking to where he was just before. the image has shifted; knives with black hair blowing out a candle stuck on a slice of cake, rem next to him with an excited smile, wolfwood, elendira, and legato also present. conrad and other members of rem’s ship can also be vaguely seen amidst the crowd and as rem pats knives’ head, wolfwood seems to look at the viewer (or at vash). at the foreground, leaves of the lily frames the edges. not showing his eyes, vash’s reaction is captured in 3 panels; a lingering gaze, looking away but pausing for a moment before finally returning to meryl, saying to her, “thank you, meryl. let’s head back. i don’t want go keep making everyone wait.” the comic draws to a close with vash returning with meryl to the birthday party in the present, milly and razlo holding big birthday cakes with melanie and orphanage kids in the back waving at vash. in the distance in the sky, the home ship flies by, flying a banner that reads “happy birthday vash! we love you!” and confetti is thrown, falling all over in celebration. fin.

“vash!” is exclaimed and the panel shows vash’s stunned expressions, blushing and notably caught off guard by the celebration. “knives!” is exclaimed after and vash turns his head quickly in surprise to see knives standing nonchalantly too, wearing a party hat. knives have a darkened piece of hair from the front as per his mid-trimax appearance. knives looks towards vash neutrally and vash looks back, still with surprise before starting to laugh with a “pff” and saying “you look silly.” knives sternly says back, “and you’re late!” livio is smiling, pointing to the side and saying, “half the cake is gone ‘cuz you guys took so long…” wolfwood in the back can be seen walking away, saying “i tried to rush him.” milly, smiling brightly, says, “the party is still full of life though!” meryl says, “come settle in, vash.” brad hands vash his party hat and says, “here’s your hat.” jessica reaches for the hat and says, “i’ll put it on him!” frank marlon lifts a bottle of alcohol, “yo lightnin’!” gramps from luida’s ship says with a smile, “happy birthday, vash.” luida smiles towards vash, chronica and domina can be seen in the back acknowledging him but not saying anything. figures from july city says, “you never told us bout today!” and “you didn’t tell me you have a bro!” elendira swishing a cup of wine in her hand looks to vash, says “oh? master knives’ brother, welcome.” legato doesn’t look at vash but acknowledges, “you showed up after all…” vash’s right hand is then taken into a smaller pair of hands. the first panel shows lina is the one holding vash’s hand, leading him and says, “c’mon, let’s celebrate!” the panel is sliced by a hand and a knife cutting and the next panel shows rem plating a piece of cake carefully. at the foreground, there’s the table showing a slice of cake for vash and knives, a fork and knife next to each other. vash and knives are wearing the goofy round glasses with a huge nose and mustache. rem holds up a polaroid photo of the younger twins, seemingly so from their first birthday. the twins are looking upwards, vash waving with a happy smile while knives looks fondly, also with a small smile. at the foreground, the viewer sees the dependents, vash and knives’ sisters waving back, their wings covering the edges of the canvas. a banner is spread, reading “happy birthday knives & vash”. tesla can be seen amongst them.

black and white trigun fan comic, 13 pages. the page opens up with birds flying out of a tree, a dialogue overlayed, “why is the surprise this far out?” in response, “yer old man knees gettin’ tired already?” in response, “i’m not that… never mind…” a panel shows an up close hand pushing a leafy bush aside followed by a small panel showing the top of vash and wolfwood’s head. it leads into a top down view of the pair walking down a forest, wolfwood holding vash’s hand and guiding him. wolfwood says, “don’t get worn out just yet. we’re almost there.” sound effect text can be read “chirp chirp…” “fwoosh” over a black background that gradients into white as wolfwood says, “okay. you can take the blindfold off.” an up close of vash’s eyes opening that leads into a panel made by the shape of his blindfold, two party poppers “pop”-ing. with her eyes obscured by the previous panel, rem can be seen with hands ready to clap as she says, “1- 2-“
