    Wow! Amazing collection! You draw - and colour - very striking and beautiful eyes :adore:

    - I love the horizontal lines as shading for her hair (and as used as shading for some of the other characters, but this one is really dramatic).

    The eyes are actually the first place I start with all of my drawings. They’re kinda the key to making sure everything looks right, so naturally I end up putting a little extra time and effort on them. Thanks for noticing!

    The line shading is based on how she was originally drawn in the manga, but I’ve ended up adopting it as a style when I’m too lazy to use my Prismacolors or copic markers for shading.

    Had a bit of a creative block this week for some reason, so only a couple of drawings. Even on the writing front, I've barely made any progress on finishing the first draft script for the ninth episode of EVA-Trek... and I set a deadline for myself for that in 6 days. Christmas vacation can't come soon enough!

    Finally had some more time to draw this week after finishing EVA-Trek's ninth episode script and posting the seventh episode (https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/eva-trek-an-evangelion-star-trek-crossover.311690/#post-14341004), so let's get on with the show...

    Drawing 319 / 2022 Artwork 182: The only reason Dr. Ritsuko Akagi is showing up to Nerv's annual Christmas party is because attendance is mandatory. The Santa costume... that's Misato's fault.

    Been a busy and productive week at Studio Firebird during the holiday vacation, generating daily sketches, and getting worked ahead on initial notes and concepts through episode 17 of EVA-Trek, which (if my production schedule holds out) sets me up through October's script!

    I can't find the 'Million Likes' button for Bunny Boy Boimler, so I had to settle for the normal 'Like' button :luvlove: :guffaw:
