*hee hee*
Yeah, I really wasn't happy with the Wolfwood either. AMEN. Mostly cos I had never drawn him before, and this was before I got my bloody Trigun books so I was working off really fuzzy memory anyhow... X_x But excuses aside, it's really a lack of skill over anything. Heh. ^^;
I'm glad you like the Vash, though! I think that was my second attempt... first being uhhhhhhhh back in '99. <3
you can see the old on in the same 'fanart' gallery on my main art site (http://art.neutralred.org/) but i refuse to link to it because it is godawful and deserves to be taken down nooooeeeees.
Re: *hee hee*
Looking again at the Wolfwood, I wonder if his nose needs to be a bit bigger andd if his chin's a bit too rounded, but I'd make a lousy art critic!
Re: *hee hee*
And aw, no, any sort of pointer is welcome. <3;;; I can't rely on myself to pick out all of my own mistakes, after all. I'll keep your points in mind next time. ^_^v
Re: *hee hee*
I like him
I didn't think you first Vash was so bad either.

Re: picspam!
I'm not the biggest fan of Trigun, i prefer GunGrave(have a wallscroll of that too). But the mangaka for both, Yashiro Naitow, draws some great imagery. Too good to pass up and flaunt.

Re: picspam!
Nope, I'm not on a mission to sell my fandom here, really....
Re: picspam!
Then we hit them with the more complex storylines, adult content and raunchy jokes...
I'll have to look into the Trigun manga then. I've seen it on the shelves but as you can see, i have my other obsession....^_^;;

ooooo

Re: picspam!
Nothin' wrong with eyecandy though. *leers at Gojyo and Hakkai, and Nii and Kou in her headspace*

Re: picspam!
Re: picspam!
Yay! Result!!! Quick word of warning, though - Trigun was Nightow's first pro project and it shows. The art in the first couple of volumes is *cough* on the rough and sketchy side, but after that it develops fast. Persevere and you will definitely be rewarded!
Not that I'll blame you for your other obsession either. 58 is currently the only pairing sparking anything like the level of interest of my VW.
Re: picspam!
Trigun manga?
Re: Trigun manga?
There were a lot of 'filler' eps in the anime that didn't come from the manga, and conversely there's manga stuff that wasn't put into the anime, especially in TriMax 2. But the two part company forever in TriMax 3.
counterpoint...
I keep soldiering on because people keep saying how awesome it is, but I feel really really left out because I'm obviously missing something very huge. It's intensely frustrating and I've just about given up and moved on to something dumbed-down that I can actually follow.
So unless you read Japanese or are especially smart (me are college graduate! me are too dumb for Trigun!), it might not be a good idea.
...then again, that's kind of a glowing recommendation for it, if stupid people don't get it. ;)
Re: counterpoint...
Then there's the very non-linear story-telling. A conversation or event that seems weird and random will suddenly make sense 3 volumes later when you find out more, so if you stop reading, it'll just leave the impression of confusion. Not much is ever really spelled out; it's more a case of playing join the dots as snippets of information are gradually dropped in. I'll admit to being an absolute junkie for that kind of story-telling - linear manga can be fun once, but it never prompts me to squee with enlightenment and go back and reread the earlier stuff all over again *g*. So people who just don't happen to like that kind of story-telling device won't like the manga much, no.
Re: counterpoint...
It's not a case of understanding the scene and expecting to get deep meaning from it right away - I just can't follow it. There was a scene with Legato in (I think) TriMax 2 that was my breaking point. I literally had no idea what the hell just happened, or who everyone in the scene was. It's like reading it untranslated for all the good it does. Everyone is talking about how awesome it is, and I'm missing it, somehow.
I am too stupid, I think. (Well, "you need literal, linear storytelling" is a nice way of saying "you're stupid," so six of one.)
Re: counterpoint...
As for figuring out what's going on with storytelling, the anime is your friend. =)

And... the porny bike freaked both me and my girlfriend out. O.o;; However, in contrast we thought that Jesus in Hogwarts was bitchin.' <3

::grins and nods:: a hear-hear to both of those statements, and hey, I figure your recs list makes my job easier, no? ;D
