How to make a wallpaper, steb style:
- Read something awesome, like Batwoman Elegy
- Fap to the awesome art of J.H. Williams III
- Go to a corner and weep knowing you will never be as good as Williams
- Get inspired anyway
- Choose scan from popular show
- Don't vector the whole body; stop at the chest or the abdomen
- Add some text in hipster font such as Helvetica, Futura, or Univers
- Overlay texture
- Poop for a while
- Come back with new ideas courtesy of pooping
- Realize that the new ideas are of the same nature as the excrement you just flushed down the toilet
- Try to think of an awesome title
- Settle for a mediocre one
- ????????
- PROFIT (?)
Seriously though, there's nothing like awesome art to get you pumped up. While I have a couple of wallpapers lying around for months unfinished; I was able to finish this one in around 12 hours from conceptualization to completion.
Nothing special about this one. It's something I made for myself; I just wanted to try a different approach to vectoring and I decided to share.
WIP:

There's something missing... I can't quite put my finger on it. Please feel free to give your opinions.
EDIT: Added version 3 with a yellow BG and some scratch textures

Very nice, I like it. Nice job on vector, colors are good. I like what you did with the hair!! Maybe some color in her face just a little might make her look better. Either way I like it!

I was looking for a wallpaper like this! You've chosen one of the best scan of Asuka! But the real nice work is the Lineart and Colouring! simply Amazing! The Asuka part is perfect! About the 2nd Evangelion I understand why you left the details of its lineart, too many, but on the Overall wallpaper, just that part make the all work not as good as it is. You should try to put on the details on the Evangelion, or try something else in order to make it work. Typography is very very good! I like that. ;D

Clean, simple, and an effective use of a texture. I also like how the lines retain the sketchiness of the original drawing

You did it again, Bro. I've actually wanted to use this scan myself but your execution was way better than anything I'd try. It's a very interesting concept, the idea of blending unit-02 in her hair was brilliant and they typography is well placed. However, like you said, something is really missing. Cannot determine what that could really be but I guess adding more images and expanding that idea of yours could work. What I mean is more things related to asuka, maybe other characters as well. This came up because the way the unit takes shape and form from her hair made me think that it somehow shows the inner traits of her character. Things that maybe she doesn't want to show but it's up to the viewer to understand the truth behind that expression of hers.
Finally,I'd vote for a different font colour. To be more precise, maybe change Shikinami's colour to red or green. Also, can't say that I was really fond of the grunge textures used but that's because I have a knack for clean wallpapers and because I believe that the distortions are more visible than they should be. Apart from that it's still a nice touch.
Keep it up Bro! I know you can! +fav

ooh it's so nice to see a simple and cool wall here! keep up the good work ♪ the color scheme and size of the text are great, your vector skills are pretty neat too! (I'm glad that you didn't keep the black outlines :3)

I like version 3. Very sexy with the textures, Did you wash your hands after pooping?

I like the concept a lot.
Asuka having some bandages with an eye patch is really hawt. At first I thought it was really cool seeing how her hair flushes out into Unit 02. Then I looked at it as her hair transforming into Unit 02 devouring everything around it then I lol'd. The texture is definitely an improvement from before. It help kills some of the empty space and adds some personality.
I am not too sure about the creamy yellow color. Although I can't really suggest another color though besides making it more towards white. Definitely something is missing to make this wall better. Not sure if you could play around with the concept of Unit 02 having more detail the further away it is from Asuka. Kind of like melting down something and putting it into a new mold.
I think another thing is that it feels static like a mountain. There might be some berserk Eva 02 image from the new movies that you may be able to work with to make it feel more alive. I deleted my 2.22 so I can't really search for a pose.

I like how you have used the texture, brosteb!
It is not too heavy but created the grungy design for it. Plus, I like how you have vectored Asuka and the Unit 02(is it called that? I haven't really wahtch Evangelion) as if they are blending in together.
Luv the simple design and the colours of the wordings. Thumbs up for Brosteb!
p/s: Saya cinta akan Brosteb's new wallie. lolz XD

Loved it! However I kinda wished Asuka's hair can be more distinctive, and maybe not that pale.

Great Asuka. I like how you linked her with Eva, such simple and clean, but still charming wallie!

Gosh this is really creative...it has become quite awesome to look at with the orange bg and scratch textures. Great choice on that one! I also love how you vectored Asuka and the Eva. +Fav!

Very nice. By the way, I think several people on /w/ have been looking for a raw vector of that scan you used.
1 year, 3 months ago
haven't been on /w/ for some time now; I'll have to finish asuka before I upload the vector anywhere.

Love the burnout texture over the whole wallpaper, along with the hard-edged picture your chose of her. It really works beautifully together!

I've just rewatched 2.22 today and went looking for an eva wallpaper. This is quite possibly the finest eva wall in quite a long time! Great colors, great vectoring! Awesome typography. This is high quality work!

Niiiice. Love the blending you did with her hair and the Eva. The use of textures is also very nicely done. "Pirate Auska" rocks my socks and I can't wait for the next movie.

What is this?
I was going to go comment on Isshi's wall, but I got lost and found my way here and ASDFGDDASD.
So I have to say, I've always appreciate not only your approach to walling, but how none of your walls look remotely the same. You've always branched off to tried different things, but always incorporate certain elements of design that you've used before to create a finely tuned product. Take Asuka and all of her hotness here. You really did a fantastic job with the vector, but also tweaking it a bit and giving her that sexy nose shadowing. What's more, you used eye-patch Asuka. I mean, what's better than a German pirate? I don't know, because I don't think anything can be that awesome in the first place!
Then that background? Using Asuka's hair to transform into Unit 2? I don't remember which one was hers but you know what I mean. and heya, I know that she's got a number two on her chest, and there's a two in the Eva, but you know it could always be a different one! Ninja Evas, them be our enemy. What's this as well, Helvetica? But it works so well, despite the fact that it is absolutely everywhere! and using some seriously awesome colors for that background and with the addition of a texture? I think someone needs to hurry up and make this as a poster and hang it all over the town.
Crazy commenting aside, this is a beautiful piece of work. The detail of the vector, to the merging with the Eva, to the well executed typography, this is a seriously stellar piece and a great desktop accessory no one should be without. It's dangerous to go alone, take this!

Very nice job. I don't really think I can say anything that would make this better.

The way her hair shifts into the Eva is amazing. Will be storing for future use (probably after I see Eva:Q). Her face looks too pale/white in the lighter versions, so I'll be using the yellow-ish one. :D
