It is my third attempt for my wallpaper (Fingers crossed) . There is the second one I’ve been building, but I believe that it still needs tweaks here and there.

There is this image of Eva unit 01 from one of the scenes in the series.

The original image: http://upl.zorpia.com/org/0/2358/15097314.b9c2b5.jpg

I’ve always thought that I’d want to put it on my desktop backdrop. Unfortunately the screen capture does not do justice and I have not been lucky enough to come across with its high quality image. So I decided to draw it on illustrator. One thing about this project of mine was that I really wanted to keep the original image’s atmosphere, if you know what I mean.

Building vector of the character was simple enough. On top of that image, I tried to draw patterns, which feel like organic and futuristic at the same time.

Originally, for the background, I used a simple gradient color block, but it looked little bit weak. That leaded me to build a simple but kind of dynamic angular gradient background.
