Description
"Where is everyone? They should have been here by now. Maybe they got lost? But it's been so long. I know they'll bee here soon. So I wait. Time goes by slowly, as I anxiously wait for them to get here..."And wait...
"The man behind the counter keeps looking at his watch. We have been waiting a long time, and they need our table.
"Still I wait, though my heart sinks with each passing moment.
"Finally they can wait no longer. They bring out the cake, and the candles are lit. The six flames are blurred glows in my eyes. My heart breaks as they start to sing 'Happy Birthday'...
"No one came...
"I can no longer hold back the tears..."
Finished... for the moment. I may want to do a background, or even a colored version, but I wanted to get it posted before I had a chance to damage it. I've had this image in my head for a while, ever since I ran across an Evangelion soundtrack by the same name. I may eventually do a doujin based on this idea.

Aww, this is so sad. TT_TT I would go to Rei's party if she had one! (along with about ten thousand fanboys XD;; ) Anyway, I love the pencil work you did on this. Black-and-white really suits the theme of Rei being alone.

Haha, so sad yet so true. Too bad. One thing though; the cake is a bit out of perspective. Nice though, nonetheless. Fav!

Very nice drawing!
I did notice the cake thing too... (The comment that beautiful shinigami said)
But I'm sure you could fix it!

Nice shading a little bit. Okay, the angle of the cake is not right. It should follow with the table. It doesn't, and the girl's body is too small for her. (it's rei from evangelion?) Her body is improportion from her head. (or her head is too big...one or the other).

Thanks for the comment. Now that you mention it, the cake does seem to be a bit off. If I had done a rectangular cake, I probably would have drawn it in 3-point perspective like I did with the table, but I decided to go with a round one and just roughed out the general shape without thinking about how it would look compared to the 3-point perspective table (oops. hehe ).
Now her head is in proportion to her body, at least for her age (she's 6 in this pic). She does have a somewhat chibi-fied head shape, but its not that different in proportion to the child versions of Asuka and Rei shown in the anime series.

i will go to reis birthday.. god damn you the ones dthat dont like her

I never could get how anyone could not like Rei. I'm a Shinji/Asuka fan, and yet i'm still a HUGE Rei Ayanami fan. I just think she'd be better off paired up with Kaworu. Kaworu meets her at her party when he sees her crying and give her a stuffed animal he won from a UFO catcher to cheer he up (they end up playing a game of ANGEL ATTACK [link] ) Everyone eventually makes it to the party, but they are late for various reasons. Shinji slept in and didn't wake up until Asuka showed up and woke him in a suitibly violent fashion, and Hikari was late because she had to physically drag Touji and Kensuke to the party.
