Space Flight IV

OK, so maybe I'm not following a chronological order with the "Space Flight" series, (see parts 1, 2 and 3) but that's due to new improvements in design...
I reused that Mark 04 model first seen here and the rocket boosters...
I'm starting lo loose hope that Revoltech will make the Adam's Vessel Mark. 09 and the God mode Evangelion 13 :/
(If they don't, I'll make them myself!)

Also, starting this weekend I'll be living in another city due to school projects, so the ever decreasing posts will be even more reduced... I don't intend to let this Blog die just yet (even though no one visits it anyways)

Anyways, see ya later!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, tal vez no estoy siguiendo un orden cronológico en esta serie de "Vuelos Espaciales" (ve las partes 1, 2 and 3), pero eso se debe a mejoras de diseño...
Reutilicé el modelo del Mark. 04 que use por primera vez aquí y lo propulsores cohete...
Empiezo a perder esperanza de que Revoltech haga el Mark. 09 Adam's Vessel y el Evangelion 13 modo Dios :/
(Si no los hacen, los haré yo mismo!)

También, a partir de esta semana estaré viviendo en otra ciudad debido a proyectos escolares, así que los siempre disminuyentes posts serán reducidos un poco más aún... No quiero que este Blog muera aún (aunque nadie lo visista de todos modos)

En fin, hasta pronto!

Eva Magi, Holy Quintet!

Ok, maybe the Madoka Magica-Evangelion crossover is not the best idea I've had, but don't they look cute?  XD
Nothing new here, I used random screencaps of Maya's monitors from Rebuild and some 3D design for the spiraling end of the Lance of Cassius Eva 02 is holding... Also, lacking a bow for Madoka/Eva 08 I used Eva 02's crossbow... And since all the shields I have are way too big, Homura/Eva 01 will only have the sentai pose...
Anyhow, hoping to return to a weekly basis now that I've finished my semester...
You can see this image HERE in my Tumblr and a sketch of this image HERE my other Tumblr, remember to share and follow ;)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, tal vez un crossover de Madoka Magica-Evangelion no es la mejor idea que he tenido, pero ¿acaso no se ven lindos? XD
Nada nuevo aquí, use capturas de pantalla al azar de los monitores de Maya en Rebuild y un poco de diseño 3D para el extremo en espiral de la Lanza de Cassius que sostiene el Eva 02... También, a falta de un arco para Madoka/Eva 08 usé la ballesta del Eva 02... Y ya que todos los escudos que tengo son muy grandes, Homura/Eva 01 solo tendrá su pose sentai...
En fin, espero regresar a producción semanal ahora que concluí el semestre...
Puedes ver esta imagen AQUÍ en mi Tumblr y un bosquejo de la imagen AQUÍ en mi otro Tumblr, recuerda compartir y suscribirte ;)

Air (5)

Continuing the battle on the Geofront!
I hand-made the BG... I think I'll practice a bit more XD
I thought of making a 3D environment to have in stock, but I still can't make those right, so that idea will have to wait...
Anyhow, you can see the sketch HERE and a copy to share HERE...
See ya later!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡Continuando la batalla del Geofront!
Hice a mano el fondo... Creo que practicaré un poco más XD
Pensé en hacer un escenario 3D para tener en reserva, pero aún no me salen esos, así que la idea tendrá que esperar...
En fin, puedes ver el bosquejo AQUÍ y una copia para compartir AQUÍ...
¡Hasta pronto!

It Will Mean Victory (Part 7)

Let's recap this long story: Part 1  2  3  4  5  6  7 and  8...
We go on with the last moments of activation time of Eva 02...
I tried to make some elaborate lighting effects, but they turned out mostly looking like a molten cake, so I went for something simple in the end...
I think I'm getting the hang of the smoke drawing business... But anyhoo, that's it for this week... You can see the original picture HERE and a finished one to share on Tumblr HERE...
Gotta go!
See ya later!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recapitulemos esta larga historia: Parte 1  2  3  4  5  6  7 y 8...
Seguimos con los últimos momentos de tiempo de activación del Eva 02...
Traté de hacer algunos efectos de iluminación más elaborados, pero terminaron viéndose como pastel derretido, así que me fui por algo simple al final...
Creo que ya le agarré la onda a  eso de dibujar humo... Pero en fin, eso es todo por esta semana...Puesdes ver la foto original AQUÍ y una terminada para compartir en Tumblr AQUÍ...
¡Me tengo que ir!
¡Hasta la próxima!

It Will Mean Victory (Part 6)

Continuing the battle of the Terminal Dogma, a wide shot of the scenario, featuring Lilith in the BG...
After finishing the sketch of the drawing I decided to do it in 2D, as all my attempts so far to create a 3D model of the Terminal Dogma have failed... 
Lilith did used some 3D work, I used a rigged human figure to pose, took the properly angled photo and then drew on top of it to make sure the pose remained the same (a bit of rotoscoping, so to speak)...
I also used the tiny lights on the background... I don't know what they are exactly, but they can be seen in the movie... The skull piles are all new except for the one the furthest, where Lilith is (I think you can still see the pattern formed due to the copy/paste repetition)
I followed the form of the skulls to make them look half submerged in the water bellow, a bit of displacement on the Evas and there you go!

The Wonder Festival is over now, and it appears Revoltech didn't announced any new Eva figures... Too bad 'cuz I'm reaching the limit of images I can make of this scenes without needing non-existing Evas (namely the Beast Eva 02, Adam's Vessel Mark 09 or God mode Eva 13... Or a Wunder)


Anyhow, I hope they make them soon so that I can continue my collection :P

You can see an incomplete shot of this image in my Tumblr and a copy of this image in my Tumblrß...
See ya later!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Continuando con la batalla del Dogma Terminal, una toma amplia del escenario, con Lilith en el fondo...
Tras terminar el bosquejo del dibujo decidí hacer el dibujo en 2D, ya que mis intentos de crear un modelo 3D del Dogma Terminal han fallado... 
Si usé algo de 3D en Lilith, un humano con esqueleto para posarlo, tomé la foto con el ángulo apropiado y después dibujé encima de eso para que la pose terminara siendo igual (un poco de rotoscopía, por así decirlo)...
También usé algunas luces en el fondo... No se que sean exactamente, pero puedes verlas en la película... Las pilas de cráneos son todas nuevas excepto por la de hasta atrás, donde está Lilith (creo aún puedes ver el patrón formado por la repetición del copy/paste)
Seguí la forma de los cráneos para dar la impresión de que estaban medio sumergidos, un poco de desplazamiento en los Evas y ¡listo!

El Wonder Festival terminó ya, y parece que Revoltech no anunció ninguna figura nueva de algún Eva... Que mal por que estoy llegando al límite de imágenes que puedo hacer de estas escenas sin necesitar Evas que no existen (específicamente el Eva Beast Mode, Mark 09 Adam's Vessel o el Eva 13 God mode... O un Wunder)
En fin, espero las hagan pronto para que pueda continuar mi colección :P

Puedes ver una foto de esta imagen incompleta en mi Tumblr y una copia de la misma en mi Tumblrß...
¡Hasta la próxima!

Space Flight III

Eva 02 landing on the tesseract-coffin!
The rocket boosters were featured first HERE, since then I made a few modifications that fix some proportion-related issues and color-corrections... 
Besides the tesseract, which was made in 3D too, there's nothing new!
I'm so lazy XD
But give me a break! Making the skull piles in Terminal Dogma is exhausting!

I received some new Groundwork of Evangelion Artbooks (#1, Movie 1 and 2), follow the links to my Tumblr, where you can see some pictures... Also there, the original picture of this image...
See ya later!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
¡El Eva 02 aterrizando en el teseracto-sarcófago!
Los propulsores cohete fueron usados antes AQUÍ, desde entonces les hice algunas modificaciones para arreglar algunos problemas de proporción y corrección de colores...
¡Aparte del teseracto, también hecho en 3D, no hay nada nuevo!
Soy tan flojo XD
¡Pero denme un descanzo! ¡Hacer las pilas de cráneos del Dogma Terminal es exhaustivo!

También recibí unos artbooks nuevos de Groundwork of Evangelion (#1, Movie 1 and 2), sigue los links a Tumblr, donde puedes ver algunas fotos... También ahí, la foto original de esta imagen...
¡Hasta pronto!

Hiding

I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I've recycled that sky background... For some reason I find sunsets very hard to draw...
So, the moment when the angel-controlled Eva 03 finds Eva 02's hiding place...

This time I took a picture of the body of Eva 03 and 2 separate ones for the arms, this, to make some trickery on then and giving them the effect of greater length as seen on the series... Then I assembled the 3 layers on one mutated Eva only to notice that I took the pictures of the arms without hands in them!

I had to photo the hands alone and then tried to add them to the existing layers, but the colors didn't quite match, I used some tools to try to make them look the same color as the arms, but I only managed to make the left hand look barely similar... The right hand is hidden by a conveniently placed three there XD

You can see the original pictures of this image HERE.

After that, nothing new here... I'm 2 weeks short of finishing the semester!
See ya later!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creo es la tercera o cuarta vez que he reciclado ese cielo en el fondo... Por alguna razón encuentro los atardeceres difíciles de dibujar...
Entonces, el momento en que el Eva 03 controlado por el angel encuentra el escondite del Eva 02...

Esta vez tomé fotos separadas del cuerpo del Eva 03 y 3 separadas para cada brazo, esto, para hacerles algunos trucos y darles el efecto de ser más largos como se ve en la serie... Después ensamblé las capas en un Eva mutante sólo para darme cuenta de que tomé las fotos de los brazos sin manos puestas!

Tuve que fotografiar las manos solas y tratar de agregarlas a las capas existentes, pero los colores no eran iguales, usé algunas herramientas para igualar los tonos, pero sólo logré que la mano izquierda se viera ligeramente similar... La mano derecha está oculta tras un árbol convenientemente puesto XD

Puedes ver las fotos originales de esta imagen AQUÍ.

Después de eso, nada nuevo aquí... A 2 semanas de acabar el semestre!
Hasta pronto!

It Will Mean Victory (Part 3)

Than awkward moment where a state of the art humanoid battle weapon is shoved aside with a medieval weapon...
I recycled the skulls on the floor 'cuz honestly, this drawing was taking too long (2 weeks actually)
Homework has never been this evil! I've not even had time to open my Evangelion 08'ß!

Anyways, there's really nothing new here except for the white "motion" lines... I noticed they happen a lot in that scene on the film...

You can see the video review of Eva 08'ß HERE (part 1) and HERE (part 2); you can see the original pics for  this image HERE and those of next time HERE (saying "next week" would be a lie)

See ya!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ese incómodo momento en el que una perfecta arma de combate humanoide es detenida por un arma medieval...
Reciclé los cráneos del suelo por que honestamente, este dibujo esta tardándose (2 semanas de hecho)
Nunca había sido tan maléfica mi tarea! No he tenido tiempo ni de abrir mi Evangelion 08'ß!

De todos modos, no hay nada nuevo en este dibujo excepto por las líneas de movimiento... Noté que se usan mucho en esa escena de la película...

Puedes ver la revisión en video del Eva 08'ß AQUÍ (parte 1) y AQUÍ (parte 2);  puedes ver las imágenes originales de esta imagen AQUÍ y los de la próxima AQUI (decir "la próxima semana" sería una mentira)

Hasta pronto!

It Will Mean Victory (Part 2)

Asuka, what are you doing? D':
Poor Shinji, getting into an Eva only to keep straining his already bad relationship with Asuka, killing Kaworu and unleashing the end of the world, again...

So, since I plan to make the movie's sequence in order then this goes before Mark 09 appears... I used a stock AT Field and the rest was easy... I took the design for the pink smoke on the back from the "Groundwork of Evangelion Vol. 2" art book I received last week (I always have trouble making smoke)

I was supposed to make the video review of Eva 08'ß, but homework is keeping me busy... I hope I can do it in the week or next weekend; also, Youtube removed the review of Eva 02'γ from my channel... And they didn't even specified why...
You can see the original photos of this image HERE and those of next week HERE...

Well, that is all, see ya later!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Asuka, qué estas haciendo? D':
Pobre Shinji, se mete al Eva sólo para seguir arruinando su relación con Asuka, matar a Kaworu y desatar el fin del mundo, de nuevo...

En fin, ya que planeo hacer la secuencia de la película en orden esto va antes de que aparezca el Mark 09... Usé un diseño stock del Campo AT y el resto fue fácil... Tomé el diseño del humo rosado del fondo del art book "Groundwork of Evangelion Vol. 2", el cual recibí la semana pasada (siempre tengo problemas dibujando humo)

Se suponía que haría la revisión en video del Eva 08'ß, pero mi tarea me tiene ocupado... Espero poder hacerla en la semana o el próximo fin, también, Youtube quitó la revisión del Eva 02'γ de mi canal... Y ni siquiera especificaron por qué...
Puedes ver las fotos originales de la imagen AQUÍ y las del la próxima semana AQUÍ...

Bueno, eso es todo, los veo luego!

It Will Mean Victory

Evangelion 02 Gamma is here!
And it looks angry!
I used radial blur to give the impression that it is falling, and since that is the only effect here, this is by far one of the easiest images I've done for some time XD
The name of the post is that of the BG music playing n that scene... Now to wait for Mark 09 and Evangelion 08 Beta to go on with the so-called "Eva Q image saga"

By he way... Can you spot Eva 08 in the image?

You can see the video revision of this figure HERE and the original image for this entry HERE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

El Evangelion 02  Gamma esta aquí!
Y se ve molesto!
Use la herramienta desenfoque radial para darle la imresión d eque está cayendo, y ya que es el único efecto usado, esta imagen es una de las más sencillas que he hecho en algún tiempo XD
El nombre de la entrada es el mismo que el de la pieza musical que se escucha en esta escena... Ahora a esperar el Mark 09 y al Evangelion 08 Beta para seguir con la llamada "saga de imágenes de Eva Q"...

Por cierto, ¿puedes encontrar al Eva 08 en la imagen?

Puedes ver la revisión de la figura en video AQUI (activa los subtítulos en español!) y la imagen original de esta entrada AQUI

Fate III

Part 3 you ask?
Part 2 is HERE and the first one can be seen HERE... How naive of me, back then I thought that Evangelion Q could be expected in 2011... Actually, it was over 2 years from that post until the movie was released!
It's been a while since that D:

Anyways, Eva 02 running with the Progressive Knives covers open, some movement blurs here and there, Gaussian blur on the Angel's "wings" on the sky and there!

I used this Eva because I recently reviewed it in my Youtube Channel ... Now in actual HD!

Now on vacation, so I'll try to post more...
Also, I've been experimenting with 3D design again... I'm currently trying to rebuild the space rockets that Eva 08 and 02 use in Evangelion 3.0 when rescuing Eva 01... Not an easy task I must say...

As usual, you can see the original photo of the Eva HERE...

See ya later...

Air (4)

Continuing with the destruction of the Mass Production Evas (started HERE)...

Nothing really new in this one except for the editing of Evangelion 02's left elbow that ended looking kinda thin and the modification of the MP Eva's smile into a slight "ugh" (really! I did! check the original image HERE)

I was about to cancel this image because of difficulties with the chroma keying but I worked it out, anyways, less than a month for the DVD release of Evangelion Q!

Year 3: An die Freude II

A continuation of this image, from back in December, Eva 02 and Eva 02 fighting as seen in episode 24, moments before Kaworu enters Lilith's Chamber in Terminal Dogma!

I used my Bandai Soul Stage Act 5 to hold the Evas in place, given that both of them are falling, the Revoltech bases couldn't quite do what I wanted, and the limited places from where those can hold the Evas (basically, only the umbilical cable socket!) made imposible to put Eva 02 without having the base in the way...

Anyways, I watched episode 24 to see how  to draw the roof of that strange room... I have always wondered about those salt-tower-like things there...

Also, I edited the chest of Eva 01 to erase the excess of progressive knife on the hand of Eva 02 and added the tiny image of Kaworu, as taken from the cover of volume 11 of the manga...

Well, that's it, have you visited the Evaposers Tumblr? I post there the original photos of the figures before editing... You can see this images' original HERE...

Also, this month marks the 3rd anniversary on the Evaposers Blogspot!
In that time it has received almost 20,000 visits! It's not much, but it encourages me to keep it going, even if it's just for 20 people who entered a 1000 times each!
If you have and image you want me to post you can check my profile for the contact mail!

Thanks and see ya next week!

AT Field Breakthrough!

Eva 02 Beast Mode tearing apart the 10nth angel's AT Field near the end of Evangelion 2.0!

I had a lot of fun making the AT Field and giving it the "multicolored" look that it has on Rebuild of Evangelion, I think it looks nice... I used the "sponge" effect on it at the end...
I also remade the teeth of the Eva 'cuz hey don't look that well on the figure (the only thing I'll say the RD version of this figure has better!)


Anyway, still waiting for the release of the Revoltech Eva 08 (and all the rest)... 
It will be a long wait, despite being shorter than the period between 2.0 and 3.0!... 
Still, school has been so uneventful this far that it seems the wait will be far longer...
Anyway, see ya next week!

First Activation

The first activation of Evangelion 02 in episode 8!
Due to the time-consuming enterprise that was making the hexagonal pattern on the covers the ship and BG turned out really crappy... 
I found many interesting ways to make fabric effects on Photoshop but then I realized that there is no fabric large enough to have it's detail appreciated on Eva-scale, so I used the hexagonal pattern deformed over the silhouette of the fabric itself...

Well, I posted this week...
Time to return to my slumber...

An die Freude

The desperate battle between Eva 01 and the remotely controlled Eva 02 in their descent to Terminal Dogma...
There's not much in this one, glows here and there, extensive editing on Eva 02's head to accommodate the eyes under the openings and a quick drawing of Kaworu...

Not much after many weeks without posting, but it's a start...

I bought a couple of orchids to accompany my carnivorous plants so my plant table is getting crowded (well, it already was anyways).. I'm on vacation now so I'll post weekly...
Any suggestions?

Space Flight

Eva 02 as it will be seen in Evangelion: You Can (Not) Redo!
I must say, this figure really gave me a headache... The stand! The freakin' stand!
It can't hold the Shuttle-thing and the Eva at the same time without collapsing...

So, nothing special, actually, it's the fastest I've finished an image!
To begin with, the straight lines of the Shuttle-thing makes really easy to erase the chroma key and the BG, well... Black, blue and stars brush...

Asuka, on the other hand...
Well, I though that Eva 02 was kinda lonely so I decided to add her at the last minute (when I was writing the entry actually)...
She is a composition of 2 images: the Asuka featured months ago in the monthly image of the Eva Store (if memory serves me well), which had the Mark 06 Spear removed and replaced with the helmet she uses in the film (the 2nd image), that was edited to look like a drawing (you can still see some details of the "cartoonization"... The helmet, BTW, is a picture from the Real Action Heroes figure of Asuka (Evangelion Q version)...

Anyhow, I'll try to post something next week... and waiting for the release of Eva Q!
The long wait is over!!! 

Edit: the Youtube review will take a while, the camera corrupted all files, so I can't edit T-T
Edit #2: You can watch the review of this figure HERE

Edit 14-Jul-2013:
Given that I made 2 versions of Eva 08 and Mari I upload a version without Asuka  

Keep Your Head Above the Mayhem (2)

Mari being A.T.-fielded out...
Nothing really new on this one...
Just a quickie...
Resident Evil 6 is downstairs waiting...

Air (3)

More simple 3D design (the bridge) with some classical backgrounds...

It's numbered as 3 'cuz one of the earliest drawings I made depicted a scene of Eva 02 vs a MP Eva... Was quite fugly, but if you wanna check it it's here... Air (2) was a bit more acceptable, was the first on which I used the motion blur tool (see it here)

Planning on making the destruction of all MP Evas... Will take some time considering how long it takes me to make serial pics (like Zeruel's never-ending attack parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 that extend for over a year and it's unfinished)

Anyway, I added the wave effect on the lower left to give the impression of water movement... I think they left that out on purpose on EoE..

Well, that's all... See ya next week...

A Step Forward Into Terror II

The first (ill fated) sortie of Eva 01 and 02 together...

Last year I found a gashapon figure of Israfel, the angel they're battling in this scene on Ebay, however, I lost the auction. so they'll be fighting an invisible enemy...

Not much new here except that I had to use the head of other image of Eva 01 and paste it on top on this one 'cuz despite the body is on the right position, the head was facing somewhere else... Those damm neck articulations of old ¬¬"

What? Umbilical cables on that scene... I know... But to what was the other end plugged? XD

Let us bypass that...

Past tomorrow I'll be back in school... So I'll try to keep posting...
