Description Well, my first image of 2007!

Asuka Langley from Neon Genesis Evangelion, in a pose you rarely see, and in a topic you also rarely see.

This is the best use of colour I have ever used, and if you saw the original colour version, you'd see the vibrancy and cool colour. I say this without bragging rights, as the pencils themselves are what makes the vibrancy.

Okay, so read this when I say that this is ALL hand-drawn: text, lines and colour. The lines are mechanical pencil, the colours are Derwent pencils and all hand drawn.

David! I can't believe I didn't comment on this sooner...! Ugh-I've been sooo busy lately and I guess this got missed in my huge pile of deviations... So sorry, Deibi!

This is truly beautiful... It's nice and simple and to the point, yet holds quite a lot of detail all the same. I LOVE the vivid colours! You're such a talent with those pencils. It's so very smooth and sleek, but, as always-you've used some of your soft line strokes which adds a nice soft touch of texture to the piece. ^^ I really agree with Gracie about the composition-it's quite thought provoking when you can't see much of her expression and eyes especially. Wonderful linework-it's very fine. I think my favourite part has to be the direction of light-it adds so much to the luminosity and brightness of the colouring.

Well done, Deibi!

-Dani.

Thanks a lot. Glad you like the colours, as this was the longest, hardest bit. I like pencils far better than digital, as it's much more natural.

Thanks again! ^_^

sorry i'm late; it's been two weeks or sumthin since i was last online.
i'm always somewhat pleased to see Asuka in such a pose and expression. i guess that's because she's usually being a real brat indeed, none of the trio is really likeable in NGE. we sometimes get to see their week sides and develop some kinda sympathy, but before long, every one of them return to their original attitudes, one a total brat, one a total pain in the ass, and one a senseless robot... i don't know why i like them. whatever.

drawing very good as usual. but colouring... my god! that's totally awesome! all that softness, and those shines... i'm also really amazed at how you got all those details on her uniform look so fine.
a must piece in the best of you.
