OMG! When did this happen?

[tiggymalvern]

An artist called Khaamar has been colouring scanned pages from the Trigun manga, and doing it so beautifully.

The colour pages aren't up on the web that I can find, but they're included in the scanlations of the manga available for download at this site. Colour pages are in there from volume 7 onwards. And as of today, scanlations have started arriving of what will become volume 12 of the manga when Nightow finally gets around to publishing it....

Many, many thanks to kleine_kat for the tip-off!


Here are a few samples - there are more. Aren't these just gorgeous?









Vash! With Angel feathers! ::worship::


A quick word on the scanlations - I only did a comparison on one chapter, and what I saw looked a bit loose in places. So I'd advise against taking these translations as 100% gospel for writing purposes and wait for Dark Horse for that.

WOW. She does some utterly amazing work. I've seen fan colored pics from Bleach, but nothing that compares to this.

Almost enough to make me interested in the manga. Almost. ^_^

And it's a reverse Yohji coat!

Isn't this just amazing? The time that must go into it - just thinking about it makes me shudder.

[nekojita.livejournal.com]

And just how long do you spend on writing, again? ^__^

Yes, it must take a *lot* of time but the result is absolutely amazing.

OH! THE SHINY!! *____* seriously. the coloring is just... *dies*

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Graphically challenged as I am, all I can do is ::boggle::

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

She does! Far better than I would XD

[arafel.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty. *stares*

Man, people are so talented sometimes. :)

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

I know. I can only stare and be jealous ::sniff::

[jaina.livejournal.com]

That's just gorgeous.

...Wolfwood looks like a humpback in that first shot.

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

He very often does! It's the way Nightow always draws him slouching :-)

Hot damn but it's time for icons... and volume 12? Man. Good morning!

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

There are worse ways to start the day, huh? XD

[fuzipenguin.livejournal.com]

oooohhhh... pretty.

And oddly glowy too...

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love the highlights and the blurry edges she's given some of these pics. Brilliant judgement.

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

::is puzzled:: They're still here for me. No site glitch I'm aware of, but I've been out a couple of hours.

Ooooh WOW!

[millyfan.livejournal.com]

I love it! I think I'm going to pimp this one on my LJ. So cool. *faints in awe*

Re: Ooooh WOW!

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

They need pimping! How come this was going on and nobody knew????

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

They're all stunning, but the Angel!Vash is, of course, my true love XD

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Oooh, pretty! VERY pretty!

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Yep!

How safe is to download things like this?

Good question - I do it all the time! Music vids, scans, I'm downloading something from a website almost every day. Offhand, I've never heard anyone in any fandom bitch they caught something downloading from a dedicated and obviously well-organised fansite like this one, though it's not impossible. Mainly I just common sense when downloading - don't download anything that isn't the right size for what it claims to be. The only bug I ever caught came via email before I knew better.

Well, that and I don't have enough storage space on my computer for all of it XD

I'm forever having to rearrange and sort mine and burn stuff to disc!

[r-chan.livejournal.com]

WOW. Just... WOW *_*

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

I know computers make this stuff easier and faster now, but still, yeah....

[sara-tsuzuki.livejournal.com]

Oh my God. The first pic is just wonderful *_____________* I love the Nightow's work, and in color is....º__________________________º Well, I love this **

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

I just can't think how this stuff could have been done better, you know? There's so much thought gone into it.

[hibem.livejournal.com]

Those are gorgeous. Especially love the lighting on Vash catching the bullets with his feathers.

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

I could stare at that all day....

Beautiful...

Which ones have color of those files at that site? Random ones?

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Essentially, yes.

Vol 7 ch 3, 4, 5, 6
Vol 8 ch 1, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 5
Vol 9 ch 3, 4, 5, 6
Vol 10 - all chapters except special
None with vol 11

There are small colours with all 3 chapters with 12, but by a different artist and nothing like as detailed.

Absolutely gorgeous work there! These are so pretty, she does an amazing job with the coloring. Must go back and re-read the manga again sometime... thanks for sharing!

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Must go back and re-read the manga again sometime...

See? There's no bad to this, none at all!

[meerkat.livejournal.com]

Nope, I agree- Trigun is a wonderful thing, in all its mediums!
