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...

Sacrifice



I find Rei's banzai charge in Evangelion 2.0 much more effective than in NGE as a way to portray her selflessness (or maybe it's the feelings she has for Shinji... Or suicide tendencies...)
Anyhow, Just a few fire and smoke effects in the BG, trees and movement filter...

I have always found Rebuild's Eva 00 to be hard to chroma key... Despite a blue BG works well for most Evas, the gray in this one's arms always gets in the way, so I have to erase BG manually anyway...

Next week Resident Evil: Retribution comes out here in Mexico (dunno why the week delay ¬¬) 
 Then it's the countdown for Resident Evil 6!!!

Well... Se ya next week!


In other news:
I'm learning how to make 2-part silicone molds to replicate pieces of my figures, after some experiments (that included the replication of the angel forearms of EvaEvo 03 and the double blade of the MP Evas) I managed to make a complete copy of...



The MP Evas LoL! This one will be purple once the resin dries off completely...
To do list: Mark 6's spear (that one will be red); the positron rifle of NGE, to custom it into the one of episode 22; then who knows!

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...

Sin From Genesis


After some 3D work I managed to make the cubic AT field of this scene!
Of course, rendering is a different thing... I had made a texture that emulated how the AT field looks like on that scene but it turned out looking plain orange...
I added some glow here and there, a canvas painting effect and done!

The Zeruel is a drawing I made... Dunno how it looks like... I'm not good drawing so you'll have to tell me...

The Eva 01 in God mode (or released if you prefer) was easy too, first time the chroma key goes in the first click... And since there's no light arm to draw of halo to match angle with it was a piece of cake...

Anyhow, a few days for Resident Evil: Retribution; one month to go for Resident Evil 6 and then it's countdown for Evangelion Q... And then for a crappy cam rip XD

Box design 2


There's a long story behind the why of these 2 images, but I won't spend much time on them: they're for the box of the figures, obviously, and they will be printed on adhesive paper and pasted on the side of the box to help me ID the figures from outside...
Now, the one of Eva 04 is nothing new, a few stars, smoke a glow in the eyes (something I technically shouldn't add 'cuz I'm not specifying on the box that the figure's eyes don't actually glow)...
On the other hand, the Eva 03 drawing has the technical achievement prize in an image (so far) as it contains the most complex 3D design I've used...
I'm talking about the transport cross thingie...
I know it lacks many of the details present on the one we see in the movie, but it suffices for now... Many specific details such as the shoulder, pylon and ankle holds has to be drawn on top...
BTW, I used Ulead COOL 3D to make it, a very simple and intuitive program... Maybe later I'll try to use a more complex one...

PS: I leave a side angle of the cross... I definitely must keep clicking on until I master this program XD

They're ACTION FIGURES!


A peek at my magical-musical figure furniture... 
Even now I amaze myself to the fact that there are Eva Revoltechs I don't have... Yet...
Found the Revoltech #032 real cheap }:D

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...
