Rei II - Neon Genesis Evangelion

Description

Hey all! :D  So, for those who don't know: just over one year ago on March 5th 2016, I made fan-art for Rei Ayanami from Evangelion, who as of now is my absolute favourite fictional female character, ((aka waifu)) *cough* Anyways, more importantly!! That original piece of fan-art has a lot of meaning to me, as I'd made it during a pretty rough spot in my life. Both watching Evangelion itself for the first time and making the art as a form of venting helped me feel better about a lot of things, but the overwhelming support I'd received soon after made me feel so passionate about art again in a way I hadn't felt since my childhood. Thank you to everyone who has ever shown me or my art any amount of support since then, it means more than I can ever explain. :heart: So now as for this piece itself, here I've drawn Rei holding the Spear of Longinus, sitting with Eva Unit-00 in the red-coloured waters of Tokyo-3.  (I used my collection of Eva figurines as references, this does not necessarily follow the show's canon lmao) I guess you can consider this a re-draw/re-imagining in a sense as well? Idk really, I haven't done one of those on here yet :oops: What I really wanted to do with this piece was to see how I've improved in my art over this last year, and I gotta say, I'm really happy with how things have come along! I may not produce new art as fast as everyone else, and I sure as hell don't upload nearly enough for you guys either, but I'd still like to think things have gone pretty well for my art over the last, uh... 375 days! (I'm super late on this, of course... ;__; ) If anyone would like to see the fan-art of Rei I made one year ago to compare, you can see it here: -> Rei Ayanami - Neon Genesis Evangelion 

I really hope you all enjoy this piece, and please don't forget to have an amazing day!! :aww:
