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...

Cruel Dilemme


Evangelion 01 and 00 after operation Yashima in Evangelion 1.0...
Let us forget the severe burning that Unit 00 suffered at the hands (or energy beam) of the 6th angel...
Anyways, nothing new here, just the already familiar water motion effect...

So, I ordered a Bandai Eva 02 kit from Mandarake and a Bandai Stage Act 5  from AmiAmi (I've had enough of the impracticality of Revoltech bases), so in about 3 weeks I'll be posting new material with those... Well, I bough the Eva because it's Spear of Longinus looks kinda cool and the base for the before-mentioned reason... You'll probable be seeing the Spear... But not the bases, haha...

Anyhow, now waiting for the video release of Evangelion 3.0, the Q Revoltechs and the Hot Toys Ada Wong...
Looks like a long way to go but I noticed that we are already halfway into February!
That was fast!

Angel Attack II


The beggining of the angel Armisael's attack on Evangelion 00...
It was kinda hard to make the shot effect without it looking like a paint splat...

Besides the many light effects there's nothing new, I used the blur effect for the contamination marks on the Eva's hand and arm (something I had used before in a similar fashion here)

Anyways, in a few hours the Wonder Festival will begin and the Evangelion 3.0 Revoltechs will probably be first shown :D

Floating to Help


No, the first (let's call it "commission work" despite it wasn't precisely that) I've made: Eva 04 floating in front of Ramiel's fiery explosion as seen in the Rebuild of Evangelion Pachinko games... I think they're called "Last Messenger" or "Last Angel"...

Anyhow, I've used again the water reflection effect I used last HERE and the 2.0 mold Eva 04 (which is actually a custom I made)

I must say, erasing the silvery color of both this Eva and the 2.0 mold Eva 00 is quite difficult for me... I dunno why... In any case, for once since many months ago I have the image for next week ready!
Also, is the Eva gliding, hovering, levitating, floating or what!?

Well, next Monday I have to go back to school so once again the week skipping, although considering that I've not been posting on a weekly basis as originally planned I dunno why I give excuses XD

Have a request? Contact me!

Operation Yashima II


Eva 01 ready to fire the Positron Sniper Rifle (the "2nd Experimental High Power Self-Propelled 460mm Positron Cannon" according to the official designation)...

This time I used again Google's SketchUp to make the firing pit, well, the best approximation I could make with the basic knowledge I've gathered so far about the program...
This is barely the 3rd time I've used that Positron Rifle, the first one was here and the other here... And never with the same Eva 01! 
BTW, the figure it's making it's debut on the blog: it's the Revoltech #032! 
I bought it in December but I didn't had the chance of using it until now, so here it is!
Also, its addition completes all the Evangelion Revoltech collection of mine (let's leave aside the very 1st version of Eva 05 and all those unnecessary limited editions that just vary a bit the color or transparency of other Evas :D )

Anyway, besides the 3D thingie no new stuff here... I'm already making the image for next week (one of Eva 04, a requested by someone)

Wrecking Tokyo III



It's been a while since I used Eva 05 for an image so I decided to put it here, in another strange fight...

This time, to create the city behind, I used Google's SketchUp... The city IS 3D design even when not noticeable due to the drawn appearance of the buildings, but it's a start...
Besides that, I didn't used any new anything on this one (most of the production time went on to making the city and it's renderings)

Have you watched the Eva Q camrip? It's great! I think there will be around 12 new figures!
See ya next week!

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?
