Battle in Bethany Base


Really complex (took 4 days D: )
In fact... This image contains my first dabbing with 3D design: the pillars on the background and the angel's bone tail are made with the 3D capabilities of Photoshop CS6 (I guess it can do much more, but for now I'm learning)...
So, the first and last battle of Eva 05, moments before its self destruction...
The mechanical legs of the Eva have already been separated from the body and are exploding... Meanwhile, the Eva releases it's lance to use it's free hand (er, claw) to crush the angel's core...
All with several layers of snow, smoke and explosions...
The neck of the angel was made with the vertebrae that can be detached from the figure, however, the change of perspective they do when reaching the main body couldn't be accomplished (hence the convenient explosion there XD )
Anyway...
The student committee has gone on strike 'cuz they were accused of stealing money from the budget (imagine that, the dudes that are meant to represent the students, falling into acts of corruption)...
Well... At least I got a free day, enough time to finish this and the new banner...
I love that I keep the Photoshop file of every pic I make... I don't have to take new photos...
I just take the layer with the Eva from another and re-size it... Ahhh... Lazy me...

Expansion of Blockade


Wow... Almost a month since last post!
But well, real life was calling (she said I had to press 20 algae and prepare them to herbarium standards)

So... Eva 01 after 3rd Impact as seen in End of Evangelion...
Man this one was hard... 
Earth? Nah... Just some color swap...
Space? Nope... Star brush...
The Lance? Nein... Basic editing...
You guessed right... The dammed crosses... I used a brush to make many in different sizes, the cloned the layer and relocated it to give the appearance of depth and distance... A final edit: perspective, gave the crosses the impression of rising... After giving it the glow they have (which I didn't like much) the image was done!
The Eva and the core are nothing new, have used the technique in several other images...

Anyway... My semester will end in the 1st week of June, so I hope I can make many drawings during vacation time...

Cancelled my MP Eva Complete Edition pre-order... finally decided it ain't necessary...
I'll save my money for when "Q"  is released...
