Happy Tuesday, folks!

Last week I posted a warm-up image of Major Motoko Kusanagi using her thermoptic suit as seen in the classic anime "Ghost In The Shell". As usual, your support and love for the image were truly appreciated and got me thinking about trying my hand at something I'd never done before.

I was never a huge fan of manga or anime, by any stretch of the imagination. I sort of disliked the similar style that japanese artists seemed to instill in all of their creations and always preferred the european artists and american comics. In my defense, I was young and stupid When I grew up and started to notice the nuances and differences that manga artwork had and anime studios put into their films, a whole world opened up to me and though I've never become a full-fledged fan, I've come to seriously appreciate the classics and some works that have been recommended to me. I marvelled at the technique japanese artists have at drawing architecture and technology as well as their impossible grasp of ink and watercolor, a medium I'm very fond of myself.

However, I never did chance doing my version of sagas such as the aforementioned "Ghost In The Shell" or "Akira". And I especially never wanted to touch "Evangelion" as it blew my mind away in both formats and I still page through Sadamoto's manga version every time I can. Yet, after seeing how favorably my Kusanagi was received and having resolved to tread as much new ground as possible from now on, here's my humble vision of Rei Ayanami, perhaps the character most associated with that incredible story.

I could go on and on about what I liked and inspired me from watching Evangelion and the pride I felt when I saw that my drawing of Rei didn't suck balls as I'd thought But I'll let the artwork speak for itself as usual and let you be the judges.

Thank you in advance for your support and who knows? I may dabble into some more of these if I can Suggestions are appreciated of course.

See you tomorrow!
