oh forgot about this one #trigun #trimax spoilers (ish i guess)
Based off the how hungry horse meme. Kid from the last couple of chapters of Trigun Maximum saying "man im so hungry". Next panel shows Knives looking at the kid from behind. Last panel is directly taken from Trigun Maximum where Knives creates an apple tree and disappears.

family photo
A draw over of a picture of David Cronenberg and Clive Barker holding weird grub babies as Vash and Wolfwood instead.

for some reason i was thinking of jayce and viktor getting a portrait made for themselves and how they'd have to pose for it #jayvik
different portraits of viktor and jayce. First one they are both standing and Viktor is too stall so he's out of frame. Second one Viktor is kneeling but it makes him too close to Jayce, giving the impression of a proud parent at a school photo. Third one Jayce is sitting and from this angle it looks like a normal couple portrait and that Viktor is just standing. But a back angle shows that Viktor is still kneeling so silly from any other angle.

never gonna draw viktor consistently #viktor #arcane #arcaneherald
Arcane herald Viktor looking straight forward against a black background. Emphasizing more of a skeletal look to his design than in canon.

can't believe i forgot to repost this one lmao still really like this one,,, was referencing the monkey man movie poster for this one!! #wolfwood #trigun
Wolfwood with a giant, bright red cross behind him. Colors are entirely monochrome red. His nose is bleeding and has blood splatters on him which looks black because of the lighting.

OKAY THIS IS A SMALL COMIC I MADE A WHILE BACK and forgot to repost but here's the shit i made yapping about it and some of the context and thoughts behind it
OKAY, so this is part of the WW lives/family au, and I thought of this comic after thinking about my writing choice of Vash forcing Wolfwood to leave with the orphanage rather than seeing his last moments with him. I was also thinking of the song "Doubt Comes In" from Hadestown (which is where the caption is from) and the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. Course, the main point of Vash making Wolfwood leave like that is so that he'd live, but I do enjoy thinking about how that changes the tone and beliefs they might hold about each other in their parting. Natural disclaimer this is mainly personal interpretations and stuff I've discussed with my best friend lmao. But as I see it, Vol 10 was when Vash and Wolfwood truly realized how much they meant to each other. Wolfwood was the first to realize how much he began to care for Vash, even considering them friends, but still felt that he was less important than Knives being dealt with and left without asking for help. I also imagine he left without a word. Not realizing that Vash would choose to chase after him over preparing to face Knives despite the risk. And I don't think Vash quite realized how much Wolfwood meant to him until that moment. And that in his entire life of leaving, he wanted to ask someone to stay. Only to realize at the same moment that he was going to lose Wolfwood. There's a bit where Vash initially tries to convince Wolfwood to leave on the ship with the orphanage, and I see this as Vash telling Wolfwood to spend his last moments with them instead. While I do think Wolfwood was scared of their reaction, he wanted to spend what time he had with Vash. Vash, who runs, leaves, and sacrifices so much so he doesn't have to watch others die, stays, shares a drink, and watches Wolfwood die. And they both know that their love is reciprocated. Now, considering that all, what happens if Vash chooses to make Wolfwood leave instead? He'd instead choose to live with the uncertainty of Wolfwood's fate so he can keep him alive in his heart despite his doubt about Wolfwood's survival. To refuse to look back. Regardless of whether Wolfwood lives, It'd feel like rejection rather than reciprocation. In my mind, it's a selfish choice for Vash to make, but he doesn't want to lose Wolfwood and would instead choose to doubt and live apart from him rather than look back and know he's gone forever. The comic is set sometime after Wolfwood finds Vash and works things out (as well as they can, considering who they are). They're traveling together at this point and spending their tomorrows by each other's side, exactly like Vash wanted. But he's never really learned how to stop grieving, and I think there'd be moments where he begins to doubt what's right in front of him or fears that when he wakes the next day, it's been taken from him again. Okay comic breakdown time and thoughts: Page 1: Tried to make the room kind of skewed kind of unsettling. All the bg elements (window, door, side table) are on Vash's side while Wolfwood's side is empty. Vash stares forward blankly (I referenced his expression in Vol 10 when Livio asks where Wolfwood is). He's meant to look exhausted like he's been awake this entire time. He's afraid to go to sleep, thinking that if he falls asleep, then Wolfwood will vanish. Wolfwood is almost entirely obstructed and shadowed because even then, Vash doesn't entirely trust or believe he's here. His hand grasps the darkness of where Wolfwood's chest should be. Page 2: It's almost complete darkness, and Wolfwood's arm, even slides to grasp Vash's, is a scratchy shadow. Vash is still doubting what he's feeling, but as his hand is pressed against Wolfwood's heart, he feels life in there. Page 3: Wolfwood starts to come into more detail, though he is still obstructed. Vash's doubt starts to ease somewhat, but the anxiety of Wolfwood leaving remains. He still refuses to look directly until Wolfwood turns over in bed, forcing him to look at his face. Page 4: Vash is still struggling to entirely believe what's in front of him, and being said asks tomorrow like the answer might change then. Finally Wolfwood's face comes into view as he kisses Vash's ring finger, a promise and a vow that he's that the rest of his days are Vash's. I chose the phrase "And all my days after." on purpose rather than something like "and every day after" because Wolfwood knows his time is significantly shorter than Vash's. He can't promise eternity, to be there for the rest of Vash's life, or to grow old together. But what time he does have left, he gives to Vash. Vash believes him.

(2/2) #vashwood
1st panel is similar to the 2nd in the 1st page but this time Wolfwood is no longer shadowed, but his eyes are hidden. Vash asks, "Are you staying?" 2nd panel Wolfwood turns over in bed to face Vash, startling him a bit. 3rd panel Wolfwood presses his face close to Vash's and cups his cheek. Both of their eyes are obscured. Wolfwood says, "I ain't leaving." 1st panel Vash looks at Wolfwood with pleading eyes asking, "And tomorrow?" 2nd panel shows Wolfwood's face properly for the first time but his eyes are closed as he bring Vash's hand to his face and kisses his ring finger. 3rd panel Vash and Wolfwood's faces are pressed close while they look into each other's eyes. Wolfwood says, "And all my days after."

Doubt comes in #vashwood
(1/2)
1st panel shows a zoomed out, above shot of Vash and Wolfwood in bed together. There's a nightstand and window on Vash's side of the room and nothing on Wolfwood's. Moonlight comes in from the window, casting over them. 2nd panel shows Vash's exhausted face partially hidden where he is pressed up against Wolfwood. Wolfwood is almost entirely shrouded, only an implication of his shape. Vash asks "Wolfwood, you're here, right?" Vash's hand grasps at shadow. A scratchy, shadowed hand slides over to hold Vash's hand and eases him out of his clutching at shadows. A diagram like image of a cardiovascular system appears underneath Vash's hand and vessels show in the shadowed arm. There's a line mimicking the graph of a heart behind them. Text says "I am."

Viktor and Jayce embracing in a sunset field. Viktor is clutching tightly to Jayce and holds the blanket up to him to cover him. They're in a bald patch in the field, implying they appeared there and destroyed the grass around them. There are snow capped mountains in the distance and large fluffy clouds.

Jayce and Viktor surrounded by shadow, wrapped up in a blanket together. They're huddled together while Viktor rests his head on top of Jayce's and they look lovingly at each other. They are backlit by pink light coming from inside the blanket, while everything else is dark.

wanted to doodle about some of my hc's for Viktor post-canon so i made a silly journal like page for it! #viktor #arcane
Various doodles of Viktor transforming between his Arcane Herald form and his human form. 1. Headshots showing the different layers of his skin when in human appearance. 2. Small progression of the gradual hexcorization of the fake skin. 3. External and internal view of Viktor's cocoon. 4. Progression of the transformation of the Arcane Herald face into a human shaped one. Couldn't fit all the text on the page in the alt text so there will be a link to a google doc with all the text in it.

oh my darling, my dear, do as you wish #jayvik
Painting of Arcane Herald Viktor and Jayce mostly shrouded in darkness. They embrace while Viktor has his rib cage open, exposing internal organs and a hole with the hexcore which acts as his heart. Glowing blood vessels extend from the hexcore and Jayce has his hand tangled in some of them. Viktor looks down affectionately, cupping Jayce's head, though he is towering over Jayce he is allowing himself to be open and vulnerable to Jayce.

Revisionism #arcane #jayvik
Picture trying to mimic the style of an old photo in a newspaper. Picture of Jayce standing next to Viktor. The paper is a bit crumpled, stained and torn and where Viktor's face is meant to be the ink has bled away, completely obscuring it. There is text underneath the picture that reads "Pictured: Jayce Talis, The Man of Tomorrow, and his" the text cuts off as the next word's ink has also bled away.
