So the Art trade is we both choose a subject to draw and Dave gave me a few of his favorite anime shows to draw from and I saw Attack on Titan and Evangelion, I kinda had a spark in my head and this was the result, It took a long time to finish because I've been really busy.  So I took the time and an hour a day doing this.

Break Down

I started with a really rough gesture of the characters and the buildings.

Once I was happy with the rough, I started putting the characters on model and start the the line work.  Since these characters are so Iconic so I used reference from there shows to keep them on model.

Once all the like work is done I start filling in all the flat color for the characters and the background.

I used the colors directly form there model sheets or screen shots to keep them true to the show.

Once the flat tone is done I start adding in gradients for the characters and the building so they are light the same as the sky.  I add shading and two main color highlights, one from the sun and red to be the over all light.  I also added airbrush dust clouds around the characters and rubble to both show the impact they had on the building but also the sheer size of the Titan and Eva.  I also painted in textures into the ground and buildings to ad even more detail.

Hope you all enjoy, I'll have more stuff for you soon.  Also Please Follow me blog, twitter and tumblr if you want more.
