Soon after making him a suffered a brief period of depression and man I hugged on him a lot during that time. "Vash, if you can handle all the bad things that happen to you, I can handle my bad things right?" *snuggle snuggle snuggle* Daaaawwww That is one awesome plushie, tho! And, Katie, you win the internet for making that confessional. I've never seen that used as a cosplay prop, and yet, it's so obvious and awesome XD

fantardism: Aw, now I'm all embarrassed. XD Yeah that was a rough period for me and Trigun was my life vest during it. Not just the plushie, but other aspects of Trigun helped me a lot. I oughta tell that story sometime, but it's a bit long, so I'll save it for another time. XD @everybody: I'm going to start a new thread for the RPG Maker convo. That way we can keep this one for it's original purpose.

@plant Feathers- good plan! And I'm glad you made it through the bad times, and I'm glad you had something good to hold onto (literally and metaphorically) to help you get through it~
On the more general topic of fanstuff, I've been tempted to try modeling Wolfwood in Maya (with a healthy helping of Zbrush and 3D Coat, probably) for rigging in programs besides that MMD thing, though I have yet to actually follow through on it. I'd try Vash, but his outfit is rather intimidating for someone who's previously mostly modeled and rigged creatures.
I've been tempted to cosplay characters from this series a few times, but I live in Texas and unless my costume has A/C like Vash's real coat, I don't think that's ever gonna happen.
Though I've had a few brilliant ideas, one of which was that if I ever cosplayed Legato, I'd have hidden speakers that played "Perfect Night" so his creepy themesong would follow me wherever I went. ;D

Okay, I mentioned before about a Trigun hanging mobile. I've got pictures now. To be honest, I think the reason I hadn't taken pictures and posted this online before now is because I'm kind of embarrassed at how much time and effort I put into this thing. XD Of course, the arms spin independently. The images were scanned from the manga, although some were photoshopped a bit to better fit my need. The exception is Milly's teacup, because I couldn't find a good object for her, so I gave in and used a clipart. XD The backsides of the portraits have a quote to match the character. *Warning: Ramble while I give the quotes. If you don't care, feel free to skip* Meryl - I really loved her character arch in the manga in which she had to overcome her fear to keep helping Vash. Her quote is, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." -Ambrose Redmoon Milly - I felt love was a good theme for her, because she's defined so much by her relationships with others (Meryl, her family, Wolfwood in the anime.) Her quote is, "There is only one happiness in life, to love and to be loved." -George Sand Livio - I love the transformation Livio goes under when he switches sides. He seems to be happier, more confident, to really come into his own, so I wanted a quote about reaching your potential. "Believe in yourself. Believe in the nature within you... something that stands high and tall and noble." -Gordon B. Hinkley Wolfwood - I feel like volumes 8-10 pretty much belong to Wolfwood. I heard a song that I felt matched his fearless determination during that part of the story, and decided to use some lyrics for his quote. "'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care. I don't want to say another empty prayer. I could choose not to move, but I refuse." -Josh Wilson, "I Refuse" Vash - This one doesn't really need any explanation. It's just Vash. "Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and do the right thing the dawn will come." -Anne Lamott So, yeah, there she is.

THAT MOBILE IS THE COOLEST THING ON EARTH O____O
I can't imagine how much effort you put into it, but the payoff was worth it! This is amazing!! I love how creative and true to the characters it is. I'd love to have that hanging in my room, spinning gently, reminding me of the values Vash and co. carry....

UwU Aw, thank you guys! <3
It was pretty much three projects in one. XD I had to find and edit the images, figure out the beadwork, and then put it all together.

THAT MOBILE IS AWESOME. Gah X.X I just posted these on tumblr but I'll post them on here! My first convention ever, (15 years old I think) I did a wolfwood cosplay. Attempted. It was SO much fun carrying around the cross, and never have I had as much fun at con as I did my first. Sorry if these are huge, I have no idea how much I re-sized them when I saved. Sorry! And then I did a fem!Vash cosplay when I was 17. I wish I would have taken more time to do a whole suit and make the arm right and an actual gun. But this was a last minute thing that I did with with the prom dress I had just used. Soon I'll be doing an Amelia cosplay, why not? I'm trying to grow out my hair and here's a progress shot of that (it's not just a selfie XD) okiii wayyy too much of my face on here..dat last one is huge... *crawls into a hole*

I'm an interactive designer about to graduate with some developing experience and I've been wanting to figure out what I could design Trigun-related when I have time.
Maybe a tablet or mobile app? Or even help with a game like you've all been talking about?
Any ideas? I'm open to working together with someone on a project if anyone is interested too.

If you want to join in on our RPG Maker game, you're welcome to.
I'm not really sure what a good Trigun app would be. I'm imagining something like Angry Birds, only instead of throwing birds at pigs, you throw donuts at Vash. XD

@plant Feathers: W... wow. That mobile is spectacular, and the quotes are perfect! Really cool! I have a friend who has *just* introduced her brother to Trigun, and he wants to maybe cosplay as Vash! We told him it would probably take a year to get the costume together, but I think he's still considering it. I offered to find some options for boots (because who wouldn't want Vash boots, honestly), and I found this beaut online: From the cosplay pictures I've seen, this is the best and most popular boot option out there, unless you make custom ones. The problem is they cost $200. Does anyone have any ideas for other boots, or where you can get this pair at a discounted rate?

Got bored and did this, posted on tumblr but since I mainly lurk don't think too many people will get the chance to laugh at this and I figured you guys might like it. I have plenty more if anyone wants to see them. When I finally finish collecting the manga I'm sure this will be a regular hobby for me.
