Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion
The important part of this wall is symbolizm. I'll try and explain it here for the ones who doesn't want to make it up by themselves.
First we have the scan itself and Rei's pose, to me that really reflects her character. Dark and not too personal since she's hiding her face. Second, the wings. I made those after first trying a stock but I think this was better, yet not perfect, but I need wings for this => Wings on a human body usually tells us that what we are seeing is in fact an angel. And isn't that kinda what she is in the series? To me she is, anyway. The lone feather (black one) in the water show that even in light there is dark, meaning, everything is not perfect in this world. The blood came very easily since there is just a ****load of it in the series and a Rei covered in blood isn't really that strange XD But it also represents pain, and pain combined with an angel gives me the conclusion that the world is somehow crying. Now for the clouds. Three clouds above her head? What does that tell you? If you guessed "Triune" then ten points for you! If you don't know what "Triune" is then look it up! The background was really improvised since I remembered some scenes from the last few eps of the series with some desert sea with irregular things in it, but I couldn't look it up since I didn't have the DVDs at the time I made this. So some crazy rock and a city had to do. But there is symbolizm there aswell! On one side of her there is highly evolved society and on the other there is "the beginning of the world". And that kinda is the question in the series will the world be recreaked as it was (with a few chages?) or wll it start from the "beginning"? Now if you read all this you must either really like this wall, have nothing else to do or you like reading. As you might have noticed I like typing :P
Please comment and throw it a +fav if you like it and I hope you do!

Hey, I remember this one from Session Zero. It's changed quite a bit since I last saw it though. I like the new solid black shillouette of Rei, the solid black city skyline and rubble along with the stonger red to contrast it. Definitely an improvement. Thumbs up.

Some things are a bit too saturated for this wall. but :D overall. it's nice although.. that texture has REALLy come to bother me,.. used way too often
6 years, 9 months ago
Ehh!?! o.O This is the scan I'm working on =o= I'll give it up XD I like the layout of the wall, it's pretty cool, but as Blu said the texture bothers me maybe a different one instead lol, but I like the wings ^^ And the black vector is nice, the red river thing is nicely done as well ^^

I wasn't too sure about this one at first, I mean I'm not a big fan of dark silouette type pieces but I really like the way this one turned out. I adore the wing effect its just beautiful to look at. Great job!

Nice. Good background. Maybe a little saturated for the wings. Good work. ^^

I really like your wall and the way you displayed Rei, as an angel of death. I admit that YES, I had the patience and pleasure to read all the explanations that you gave reguarding the symbols in your work. I really love it when people give deep meanings to their creations - it prooves they don't have a brain and soul for nothing. ^_^ So, I don't mind you typing a lot and using symbols in your work, on the contrary - keep it up and I'll be your number one fan ! Looking forward to see more of your symbolic and deep, meaningful wallpapers. ~_^

Hello! I'm new to this sight, but I just have to say I love your work. I haven't posted anything myself but my work is very basic. I notice your work is subtle yet effective, and I like that.
Nice work!

Another one that's got that classically artistic feel. Very nice job with the wings and the texturing and all. It does kind of bother me a bit that she's off-center though...

Lovely. It's very fitting for Eva....

Good! but with a small one Rei, I think it would be better, a lot black in the first position! The tree clouds trying to continue the global Earth circle is very creative with a nice form.

The simbolism is interesting....with the Background that is morbid and great....
Good Job

Dark, moody, graphic, full of symbolism, and yet beautiful. Quite fitting of the anime itself. Good job.

good, but i think i would like it a lot more if there was a no-text version.
