Chapter 3 got done and distributed to my test audience but I decided that many important scenes felt way too rushed, so I'm working on re-doing them and I've even added a whole new scene between Ritsuko and Gendo. In the meantime, here is a new, rare COLOR fan pic of Asuka from the comic. I ...

OK, I've got a real one this time. "Casino Royale" (new version) James Bond- Shinji Ikari Vesper Lynd- Asuka Langley Sohryu Le Chiffre- Gendo Ikari M- Ritsuko Akagi Felix Leiter- Kensuke Aida Solange Dimitrios (dead girl)- Misato Katsuragi Rene' Mathis- Ryoji Kaji M...

OK! I'm ready to predict that Chapter 3 will be ready for release by next Friday, May 28. Stay tuned...

Thanks, Prog. I hope eva fans don't mind, but I'm letting Asuka keep her pubes. (working on the NSFW scene now.) Also giving her some meat on her bones unlike the Sadamoto stick figures. Still can't figure out where they put their kidneys in the manga... :ehh: This image here is ...

GODDAMMIT! THERE GOES ASUKA_LOSING_SYNCH_AND_GOING EMO AGAIN! :( But the story still sounds awesome. And I personally want...uh maybe some kind of Macrossy thing-Battroid-GERWALK-Fighter thing. Variable fighters, you know, to make this more mechy. Dude- have you seen my DeviantArt page lately? ...

Thanks, Chowow! I confess to being an F-14 fan and back when I conceived this story, the F-14 was still in service >_< But a line of dialogue in Chapter 4 establishes that the F-14 airframe was chosen because it has mach 2.5 capacity, very heavy lift capacity (compared to the F-18) and longe...

LOL Yeah, somehow Shinji's shirts in this chapter became a outlet for cult fandom. It's easier to dismiss a T-shirt than a line of dialogue. For example, if Shinji were to talk about MST3K, people'd be like "How the heck does he know about MST3K?!" But it's somehow more pla...

Still forging my way through Chapter 3. The chapter that wouldn't end. I would have cut the last scene out and put it in ch.4, but I've teased my Deviant watchers WAY too much with the great love scene to delay it another month or 2. :drool: So far, I really like this chapter much more than ...

Thanks for the detailed response. I think my biggest concern, even after figuring out the grading is having an art style change AFTER I have started the comic. I feel that technically, gradient shading is my biggest shortcoming so far.

"THE HUNT FOR RED EVA" (starring Unit 02)


That'll have to do til I can think of something better.

Yeah, script is a funny thing. Writing is a funny thing. Sometimes, one idea pops out, like, say, Hikari and Touji open the door and see no one there at first. Then, suddenly, an entire scene has popped into your head. Then you find you have a ton of ideas, but don't know how to organize them. I...

DUDE! I just discovered all this. WOW! I have the utmost respect for fans who go the extra mile and go doujin. And loaded with cute story. I started reading the first few pages of 'nice to meet you' and smiled. Thanks for doing this.

OK, I think (with apologies to Chowwow) I'm settling on "Anta baka". Again, only in that circumstance. As I said, pretty much every Eva fan knows what that means. For those keeping track (insert cricket chirping here), I am finishing up line art for the 4th scene (o...

How bout this; Pretty much every Eva fan on the planet (even the dub fans) knows what Anta Baka means. Maybe I just limit the Japanese to that (which pretty much was my plan anyway). On the German note, Asuka has a scene coming up where she drops an F bomb in German, so I'm keepi...

Thanks, Chowwow! This doujin seems to have its own momentum. The motivation kinda feeds off itself. I started the actual drawing in late February and have been working on it almost every day. Between wife and kids I get a good 2-3 hours per day to work on it, but the art is simple and makes for some...

Thanks guys! It's a lot to ask established fans to go along with an 'alternate universe' fan comic, so I'm glad you like it so far. I am in the middle of drawing chapter 3 right now and I just finished scene 3 last night. What I like most about this chapter is that while it is a pret...

A random page from scene 3 of Chapter 3 between Shinji and Asuka.

Still working on the doujinshi! Quite a lot, actually. With chapter 2 now in the rear-view mirror and some lessons learned, I am now knee deep in chapter 3. There are about 6 scenes in it and I am wrapping up scene 2 now. As JimmyWolk suggested, I am trying to bring up my backgrounds in this chapter...

Kensuke's comment towards the end of Chapter 2 seems strangely prescient... Yeah, in Chapter 4, Shinji has to go out of town to pick up his Eva and Asuks's making it hard for him to go. No pun intended.... :asuka_miffed: Um...Lol??? :?: :?: :?: EDIT: I have a few random douji pages coming a...

Fair critique, thanks! I just looked at page 9 and holy cow! You're right about Kensuke's hair. I'm gonna tag that for later replacement in the finished doujin. Regarding Shinji's character, I hear ya. After the dogfight, he shows some signs of being the usual Shinji (particularl...
