Description 2hr 45 min PS 6, Airbrush.. no ref (duh lol)

a reworked image for some freelance work, it is sorta a tribute to 3 things:

All giant mecha stories that inspire

All the designers behind them

A Song of the same title, performed by Europe

err..My creature has got 2 tails ;p Also, that is a video feed you are looking thru hence the noise and such, and that timer we all love that came from Neon Genesis Evangelion ;p Cept this symbolises the 'point of breach' .. 23 more seconds..

I dont think i need to elaborate further oh yeah, it should be big enough for a nice wall at 1024 768 res

PS: it was interesting how this piece came to life, after adding borders i reworked the hand so that it sort of pushed against it, the monster bracing itself against a -imaginary- structure.. then i remembered NGE's huge blast doors and ...

"Ibuki, are you ready to self destruct NERV."

"Yes."

"Then it is in Ikari's son's hands now."


Sorry for the dialogue if I messed of those line. I love this design. They should do a TV series or video game based around your designs. That would be amazing.

The detail level in this is simply astounding...I don't have any idea how you did that, which is why I have to keep working until I figure it out. Very inspiring.

D-Design [2004-01-07 13:14:57 +0000 UTC]

i love mechs, and this has a somewhat unique look to it, kinda reminds me of somethin asa might make...heh

although its got alot of smear, the detail is pretty good..the wries..little joints and circle bits..and the trimmingz
looks sortov alien looking too....

hey i saw a weird mech once on an an anime program...i think it was purple..it looked like an alien..and it had a small little dot eye..and it grabbed some other mech and then detonated itself, cant remember where i saw it...been trying to look for it but cant find it..bah

anyways great work..im gonna watch you

ukitakumuki In reply to D-Design [2004-01-07 13:52:46 +0000 UTC]

detonated itself?.. purple..alien.. NEON GENESIS EVANGELION by GAINAX may be what youre looking for. dont know about the sequence u just made up.. im sure its not in the show.

but the show has all these portions. happy searching! and when u do find it, be treated to one of the most world-acclaimed pieces of master level animation

kaoruangel [2003-12-19 01:46:57 +0000 UTC]

Oh, BTW, did you just recently see the series/movies? You remember all the terminology so well. o_O []
"Blast doors"?? Doors, that take a good amount of blasting? Gah, I woulda never came with that particular term-- it's been years since I last saw any Eva. Were those just doors that lead to corridors in which gargantuan things (like the Evas, or... Lilith) were kepts? Hmm.. I think I also remember a buncha doors frantically being closed as NERV was being invaded by humans, but then again I may be mixing that up, as that's some pretty common "oh no, they're invading! shut all doors, immediately, and make sure they close REAALLY slowly!" imagery.

ukitakumuki In reply to kaoruangel [2003-12-19 02:19:30 +0000 UTC]

^_^ blast doors arent a fantastical term. its used in every fortification that requires NBC protection (nowadays) or just to serve as a huge mobile barricade

kaoruangel In reply to ukitakumuki [2003-12-19 02:48:15 +0000 UTC]

Well, damn, I never knew the National Broadcasting Company was something to be so afraid of!

Of course, I'm only kidding, as my semi-typical Google -> Dictionary.com -> Acronym Finder ]-> Google search reveals that you were more likely referring to Nuclear, Biological & Chemical protection. Damn those things are expensive !

Apologies! I rarely involve/obsess myself with the realities that inspire my fantasies! In this case, I'm not familiar with most of the technical military schtuff!

kaoruangel [2003-12-19 01:37:22 +0000 UTC]

MORE Eva influence! It's always amazing to see fantasy objects/characters we're intensely familiar with and love rendered realistically and beautifully as you've done here. You know I love it. .

This actually looks like watercolor. How'd you do that?

P.S.: The other piece I commented on was just nice to see, as it had Eva stuff, but I didn't care for it much (as you said, it started as an overdone sketch ). This, on the other had, I love both as art and as a representation of things I love, hence the lack of faves there and the presence of them here. :] If you don't know how to take this extra comment, take it as a good thing, as it means I'm not just faving this because it's Eva. : ]
