Neon Genesis Evangelion: Computer Appreciation Gifset

Maybe I’m all alone in this but I’ve always loved the looks and style of the readouts in Evangelion.

I love the vintage plasma screen aesthetic these all have with the bright oranges and greens.

New Project: Digital Recreation of 1954 Manhattan Rapid Transit Flow Diagram

I’ve long admired this beautiful 1954 flow diagram of subway service into Manhattan during the morning peak hour, so I set myself the personal challenge of recreating it using modern design tools (Adobe Illustrator) while still staying true to the original principles of the map.

Read more about this project over on my personal design site.

figure 2: women’s head designs can be generated by the same methods, they don’t have to all look very nearly the same

Some food for thought for drawing women and avoiding drawing a single female face. Too often artists seem to be afraid to give women big noses or lines or other distinguishing features, and we end up with the same face on all the characters. I’ve been browsing a lot of genderswap art lately and I’ve noticed that when male characters with large noses, thin faces, wrinkles, or other features get genderswapped, they end up with small noses, round faces, and no wrinkles, and they no longer look distinct. So. just some references and a reminder that women’s faces have all sorts of different features, and you don’t need to just have small cute features with no wrinkles to have a character look female.
