Page markers #5

Despite I said that it would be 1 image split in 3 page markers, I couldn't do it... Why? Well, to make it short, perspective issues...
At the end I came up with these, all of wich ended up being testbeds for unused tools...
The clouds in Eva 00's image were edited with a tool called "Spherize"; under normal circumstances it would have "inflated" the image, however I used it backwards to give the impression of looking at the image as if painted in a bowl...
In Eva 01's, the trees have the motion blur, not the Eva; this stills give sthe impression of movement without distorting the figure itself...
Eva 02's used the perspective tool to make the angel's "wing" on the sky...
Anyhow, did you noticed on what is Eva 02 standing?

Page markers #4

I actually recycled an old, unpublished picture to make this one, hahaha...
This one was easy to make, and despite the resolution of that old pic is not what I may have wished for it made the work easier: I just had to erase completely the old BG, hide the joints and add color and details here and there...
I first came up with the idea of the split image when I was drawing the sketch of what will later be the battle Vs. Rebuild Sahaquiel (those are gonna be 3!) and I thougth "how about a set of only two?"...
In theory, since they're the same size you can print on one side Eva 02 and in the other one the MP Eva...

I wonder if anyone that visits this blog has printed any of these...
I've printed 3 'cuz I read a lot...
Do you?

Page markers #3

In retrospective, the blue Eva 00 should've been paired with unit 02, as it appeared before Eva 03...
Anyhow, the order of factors doesn't alterate the result...
This time Eva 00 IS holding the Lance of Longinus, however, I had to improvise the BG 'cuz I noticed too late that I didn't had any building to place that matched the Eva's perspective!
Eva 04 was easier, it was originally gonna be posed as Iron Man (landing on it's knee with the fist on the floor) but due to the figure's, ejem, articulation limitations, it couldn't be done...

Ps: Already pre-ordered EvaEvo 03!

Page markers #2 (or is it 3?)

Part 2, I guess...
Supposing this post counted as #1 (back then, a #2 wasn't planned) then this ones is #3!
Anyhow, I tried to make 3D molds on Eva 03's cross with Corel but when I tried to pass then to PS they went odd, so much had to be redone...
Don't you love Eva 02's pose of "Yeah, I caused that fire 'cuz I'm cool... Got a problem?"

The Ultimate Battle


Finally!
Over 1 and a half years after it's original conception, this image is done!
Now, with over 30 working layes, this image surpases The Girl With the Red Eyes as the most complex work yet...
The Zeruel is the recently arrived Gashapon (true size, about 1/3 of Eva 00)...
The Nerv pyramid is the same used in here, with the top removed and some other minor details added...
Eva 00 was quite a challenge to pose, good it's rigth foot is hidden in the trees, or you would have seen my hand holding it: the revo stand would hide a part of the figure... By the way, the missile CAN be dissasembled... It's hollow...
Eva 02 required nothing special, except for the joint erasing and motion blur...
The water reflections are one for the trees, one for the angel and one for each Eva, besides the water movement details...
The building has been featured a lot as well as the fire brushes...
Anyway... Out of school already... I was thinking in posting 2 images per week during this period...
Only time will tell if my idleness won't get in the way...

Shito no Katachi [Shape of Angel]

Just Received the Angel's Shokugans and EvaEvo 00...

As for the Evas, well, not a big deal... Ramiel...

Tunniel, Sahaquiel and Samshel... All look awesome! Specially Sahaquiel...

The 7th angel, Clockiel... In the end I had an uncanny amount of bubble gum...

"Calling": manga Stage 84 (part III)




Making the odd perspective of page 7 from that chapter was challenging, specially because of the Blog's horizontal image size vz the vertical manga page...
It has been some images since I used many Evas on a single image (last post doesn't count, they weren't edited)
Anyhow, standard croma key erasing, a bit of motion blur, some blood on Eva 02...

I was itching to do this image since I saw the spoiler online... A nice twist on the way the manga adaptation of The End of Evangelion is happening, don't you think?

I really don't care if Asuka dies, or if the wacky theories come true and someone other than Ritsuko ends shot on Terminal Dogma...
It'll be a win if giant naked Rei, or better yet, the whole "Komm Süsser Todd" scene occurs in the manga...
Waiting for EvaEvo 00 to arrive...

UPDATE: corrected Eva 02's blood color to blue... Had colored it red, hahaha...
