WIP
I was making a newer + larger scale version of this art from a while ago:
And I wanted to share the sketchwork progress.
Yes it’s horribly sketchy. It’s the sketch phase. Chill.
There might still be some tweaks to the pose while I work on it (something about the angle is throwing me and I can’t figure out what it is) but eventually I’ll get to working on the “not the sketch” part
I’m debating lineless...it would just be muy dificil. Thoughts?
(this is it flipped too, I’ve been going back to ensure some symmetry lol)

New week new brainrot new timeline, this time for the Trigun 98 anime!
More detailed timeline with episode marks: google sheets
High res file & additional Trigun resources: bit.ly/trigunresources
Note: This probably works best as just a sequence of events rather than a strict timeline (since all of 2 actual dates were given in the entire series and there's some conflicting dates being given💀). But it does help showcase just how much it delineates from TriMax though!
Rest of the timeline & additional notes under the cut!
Notes:
Let me start off by saying: If you thought the TriMax timeline was rough, that was nothin compared to this (which BEFORE I FORGET: I revised the TriMax timeline, so if you saw that just know it’s been updated! )
Interestingly, unlike TriMax and TriStamp, the 98 anime seems a lot more linear(if that's the right word?). The series timeline pretty much starts and stops within a 130 year timeframe, rather than establishing the PE system by when the seven cities were first constructed. (This also makes 98 Vash the youngest of the Vash iterations by at least 20 years, maybe that’s why he's like That)
The two dates given were the Destruction of July (July 21, PE 0104, 2:06 pm) and the day Meryl typed up her report: July 20th (2 days after the Monev the Gale incident, over 4 and a half months after being handed down their orders which was back in early March)
Note: In the dub, Meryl says they were "handed down their orders last December", but in the sub it's "in the city of december". I went with the sub info cause that seems more correct, but you could always argue that the months on NoMan's Land aren't the same as Earth's. (in which case July has got to be a really long ass month with how much supposedly happens in it)
Legato makes a remark at the Fifth Moon incident that July was 23 years ago, which is why I placed the start of the anime at PE 0127
Before Meryl is told about the Vash sighting in Little Jersey, Karen makes a comment about how they “spent 5 months on the outside working with a dangerous man who’s been labeled a human disaster”, I interpreted this as their entire time on assignment was 5 months (including the 3 months before they first encountered Vash) which is why I placed the Fifth Moon incident in August) but could also be interpreted as they actually traveled with Vash for 5 months (which if we assume is starting off when they first encountered him (in June) would place the Fifth Moon incident in October like in TriMax. I just find it hard to believe that 3 months elapsed between Monev and Augusta but to each their own!
No time frame was given for how long Vash was disguised as Eriks (as far as I could tell), and for the latter half of the anime I could not for the life of me find any other relevant date marks so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ free for all. I assumed it was around 2 years though, maybe a smidge more, just to neatly align the the end year at 0130
For the keen eyed observer, the May City shooting competition documents further exacerbates how messed up the timeline is (so I blatantly ignored them) but as you can see it places the year as 0131, and then the competition is being held on April 1st (1th?) and Wolfwood entered Vash's name on March 31st. The other info on the forged data sheet is kinda funny though
Additionally, I couldn't find any clear indications of how old Wolfwood actually is in the series, but he was 7 when he shot his guardian and trained under Chapel the Evergreen for 10 years
Lastly: for those like me who can't stand having to re-read events (and are looking to start reading TriMax): You can pretty much skip Volume 1 and just start with Volume 2 (ch 13-20). Just know that Meryl & Milly only met Vash starting at the InEpril city incident (In the manga it's a city in Voldoor, not InEpril explicitly)

(adding onto the ask i sent about will eye color changing) they did it gradually too, his eyes got darker the more the possession get stronger, so what you said about flayed!robins eyes losing the usual warmth to them could be literal too since her eyes get slightly darker when the mind flayer first winter soldiered her
ooooh yes!!!
robin's eyes are blue too, so the slow shift from blue eyes to dark brown eyes (and everyone noticing except robin, because the mind flayer is blocking her from registering the change in her own mind)
nancy notices at murray's, after will and robin get burned, nancy begins to notice that while robin still looks normal, something about her is off. and if she looks closely, she can see that robin's eyes are not totally blue anymore, there's a little brown in them now. (she doesn't know what this means, not yet anyways, and not until it's too late.) nancy goes up to robin, in a completely platonic way of course, pulls robin's face down to her level so she can check her eyes and get a good assessment of the situation. robin short-circuits with nancy that close to her. (the mind flayer will use this information for later...)
nancy looks again once robin's fully flayed and the dark brown eyes replacing her blue ones is...well, nancy doesn't know how to describe it. brown eyes are usually so warm, so inviting, but on robin they're cold, and nothing short of evil. when nancy's straddling robin to sedate her, she gets a brief, but still good, look at her eyes. and nancy hates to admit it, but in some evil, fucked up way, robin's reddish brown eyes are...strangely beautiful.
