Yeah, Asuka! <3 She's my fave from EVA.
I love the take you did on her plugsuit, and her plugsuit ear...things. (I never properly learned the name for that XD)

Hm, I understood in the series that they helped in processing brain waves or something like that, which is why Rei and Shinji wear them when they're in their respective plugsuits too. Unless I'm mistaken?

Rei is interesting, but Asuka made the more direct impact.

I know a lot of fans like her, but I don't like her that much. She's too bitchy.

You know I'm kinda picky with anime in general... I mean, I have this very small, sheltered worldview that has Cowboy Bebop, Lucky Star and Haruhi in it and not much else. I let Black Lagoon in there too. It's that good - it has action, moral ambiguity, comedy, horror, and more gunfights than you can shake a stick at.
And there are a lot of interesting female characters; visually I don't think there's a series I've seen before with so many different looks... it's certainly the only place outside a beat-em-up game where you can find a chainsmoking nun, a scrappy in cutoff shorts, a glasses-girl maid, a gothic lolita with a massive chainsaw who talks with a voicebox, a dragon lady and a big bosslady with scars all in one place and they never feel like they're out of place or comical.

On the flipside to both your opinions and the previous comment Asuka was a character that klicked with me initialy on my first viewing of the series (1995 series) but upon a second viewing last year I LOATHED WITH A PASSION. The TV series (and EoE) depict her as selfish, self rightous, mean, unpleasent and crude and this is never rectified at all in the series...HOWEVER! The Rebuild series show's a MUCH improved incarnation of Asuka and is indeed one of the redeaming factors of that film franchise, an instance in which Remake is superior to initial product. She's also a more likeable character in the NGE manga and alt. universe series Campus Apocalypse.
In parallel to what WorstPlayer has said I think Asuka has made the transition in style VERY well indeed. As your an artist who typicaly focuses on the American or British/ European market it's great to see a more refreshing spin on the classic plugsuit design. And 'too Japanese'? Physicaly speeking Asuka has alway appeared more European to me than the other cast (as is her heratige) so the slight mould to her face is befitting. I approve of this and it is indeed a very good piece.

A bit of a 90's buff, eh? Can't blame you. In an age where most of the out put was dire across the median, the great examples shine even brighter. Surprised Cowboy Bebop was not listed, it may be cliche to call it the best anime ever, but it fit's in with everything else on the list. I would love to see you do some Outlaw Star fan art.

I see.
If I was to write up a list, it would probably include CB, Rebuild of Evangelion, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Bleach and One Piece (guilty pleasures), D.Gray-Man, Trigun, Outlaw Star, Berzerk (Movie series), Claymore, Excel Saga (Hehe..i'm going to hell), Samurai Champloo, and Fist of the North Star OVA.

And she had an epic battle against the EVA Series.
About your picture, your plugsuit design looks like an armor, and the face definitely is not Asuka's face. Some characters lose their features when transported to other styles, and my fan art drawings are a text book-like example of that. In conclusion: I like your style, because it's very American, but you chose a character that is too Japanese.

If you let me request something... could you make one of Rei Ayanami? You can make her smile, because the Rebuild 2.0 did what it did to her...
