The Saint. (Rei Ayanami)

A version of my fantasy-ish reimaginings of the NGE kids. This one was heavily inspired by depictions of the Assumption of the Virgin and general Ascension paintings, since there’s always an ethereal, unreal, sometimes unnerving nature to how they are painted that gives a really neat and celestial feel, and which I thought was appropriate for Rei given her roles in the story. 

It’s interesting how a lot of art depictions of saints or holy people involve pretty gruesome stories of agony and pain but also a sense of power through passivity, with maybe the art being less about the characters itself but more about the lessons they impart for the viewers…

decided to put these in a bit of a chronological order as i can’t help but form a story behind the scenes. it’s a storyteller’s habit. and yeah i do have an idea i would genuinely like to explore with gail simone as a crossover comic. 

i don’t want to be the writer for this. but at the same time i always found diving into these things and exploring the character chemistry was the best way to get an artistic feeling for it.

this is also how i usually develop my own stories.

anyhow, while many think this is me drawing some shipping, in fact this a proof of concept for an adventure story  featuring lara and diana. Gail simone at some point asked if they would kiss and i gave it some genuine thought. i am a character first kind of a writer, myself, so i contemplated this. then i decided, yes, probably.

after all, romantic subplots have been the bread and butter of adventure writing since its inception and i always liked that aspect of adventure stories.

 i hope this puts some things in context from my end XD

and while

there will probably be a few more of these, there will be no nsfw pics. after all, camera pans away from indiana jones in those moments as well  XD

okay… there may be a chance of a kiss… but that’s about it.
