The day Tokio III stood still

Well... Over a month since last post!
This time it actually took me quite some time make this one... When I first conceived it it didn't seemed that hard...
So, episode 11, Eva 01, 02 and the recently refurbished unit 00 go out and fight a big spider-like thingie...

Posing the figures was tricky as I didn't knew how wide the shaft was going to be, and since it couldn't take the photos in a 3D space I think Eva 00 looks like it's adhered to the wall à la Spider-Man...

The rifle was also a question mark in the sketch... I actually wrote on the side of the drawing "who was carrying the rifle?"
After a careful analysis of the episode I came to the conclusion that the rifle appears only after unit 02 fall on top of Eva 00 (really! it does!)
So, I decided to include it in a strap attached to Eva 00 (it appears that it had the rifle all along)...
The rifle, BTW, is also a bit of 3D design (a simple extrusion, I'm still playing with 3D tools)...

The batteries are simple black rectangles with some details, I originally intended them to be 3D design too but went against it as I couldn't match the camera angle to rasterize it on the Eva's pylon...

Bit of shadows here and there, glow in the eyes and green of Eva 01 and done!

Well... Now I have no excuse for not making drawings (I'm on vacation now)

See ya!
