WMM's Evangelion "Artwork" (if you can call it tha

[WellManicuredMan]

Just some simple Photoshop stuff here. Album covers and such. Made by yours truly. And, for the record, I am quite prone to self-deprecation, hence the rather unboastful aside in the title.

FIRST BATCH: Front and Back

Here is an interesting cover. The whole thing was made using lots and lots of special Photoshop brushes and stock photos, as per my philosophy of "never, ever, ever do anything too difficult, such as creating things from scratch." That said, I'm proud with the things I've done here--the grainy Polaroid, the stains of blood and LCL, and especially the paper clip I spent so much time trying to get right. The idea I was trying to evoke here was the image of scattered scraps of official NERV papers and documents, left unattended to in the aftermath of Third Impact, free to blow away in the wind and scatter themselves to the corners of the Earth...

SECOND BATCH: Front Only

A very simple album cover; "Neon Genesis Evangelion" set as a crossword in the shape of a crucifix, engraved on a stone cross in the desert. You wouldn't believe the time I spent making sure that each arm was equally spaced and the whole thing was in proportion, before warping it with perspective transformations so that it didn't really matter.

THIRD BATCH: Wallpaper

Here's a light-colored wallpaper I made up recently. Rather minimalistic, but that's good in my opinion. A good wallpaper shouldn't be too busy to distract the eye. One thing I particularly like is how Unit-01's placement follows the Rule of Thirds.

FOURTH BATCH: More Wallpapers

A nice dark image based on the design of Sachiel's ossified mask thing. Lots of textures and lighting effects.

A wallpaper with a high-contrast image of Gendo Ikari in the trademark pose. A screenshot from Rebuild 1.0, with contrast turned up high and orange coloring on the glasses to make it look "arty." Personally, I wouldn't use it as a wallpaper on my computer, because it's likely the second most creepy picture of Gendo in the world.

More to come...?

Nicely captures the desolate and lonely feel of the show me thinks! Also bonus points for having Tesla as your avy.

Thank you for the kind comments. And thank you for the bonus points, Ryjin. Tesla is indeed awesome, whether or not he did actually invent a death ray or an earthquake machine.

Also, quick question, when I upload new pictures, should I upload them in a new post or add them to my original post?

Hmmmmmmmm, While putting up in your first post will make the post less cluttered it will also make it harder for people know that you got a new one up....... I got it! Post your pics in your first post above ( well as much as you can, there's a limit to how much one post can have) but make a new post announcing that you got a new one up and maybe put a preview in it.

As for Tesla, well give that laser weapons are now bring tested on the battle field and plasma and particle bolt weapons are a lot closer to reality then most think and there has already been a treaty that bans the use of weather and geological weapon (including artificial earthquakes) I think the chances are high that he had at lest a working hypothesis on those two concepts!
