Description
After watching the End of Evangelion movie, I had to go back and revisit a couple of my mech designs that I've kept floating around for a while. You may have seen my redesign of this one after seeing Transformers; it was a lot blockier, but taller and more powerful looking than before.

This version I tried to match the grace and power of the Evas in the series Neon Genesis Evangelion. I noticed that they are VERY rarely shown in full-screen. If you are seeing them from the perspective of people, less than 1/4 of the giant creature/machines are ever seen, because they're gargantuan in scale. They do a very good job of conveying the sheer size of the creatures. So, in that vein, I have showed only half a view of my own design. I may post the sketches of the full thing later when I feel inclined to plug in my scanner.

I also tried to emulate the 40's (?) Hugh Ferriss futurist style charcoal sketches (like the kind you'd see in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow...they tried to match his style.) The mech is actually a light blue/purple tone, nearly white, with silver accents, but the pic is clearly black and white. I was thinking of going with the style of the anime, but I'm not an anime artist. I'm just not. And I really like dramatic lighting
