Description
Well, maybe they aren't technically original characters, but they certainly won't be anything close to their canon counterparts in my Neon Genesis Evangelion/Bio-booster Armor crossover story, Out of Control!From left to right: Mari Suzuhara, Mayumi Yamagishi, and Mana Kirashima (as for the eyes, I'm not telling--nya!
This is my first time trying to make a piece with this much complexity. Not only do the figures depart from my usual, 2-D flat pose, but I've tried to make a unique composite of several individual drawings. I'll say this now--I used a lot of reference pictures to make this drawing. Mari alone is a composite of at least three different characters! Mana required nearly the same amount to get the details of her plug-suit right. Mayumi was definetely the least complicated of the three--I used one reference pic and then modified the limb positions slightly.
This piece here is just the primary linework. I hope to have it inked and colored sometime soon. Here's hoping I've got that much time on my hands!

He he I picked Mana’s pose and facial expression references almost straight away, still that’s the way to do these complex poses and it came out very well, worth the effort. Nice job, always love to see mana fanart, and I’ve become an instant fan of Mari Suzuhara

Yes, all worship the incidental and neglected characters of Evangelion!
Thanks a bunch for all these wonderful comments, Bizmarck. I truly appreciate your taking the time to do so.

You really like this che=ick eh?
I can say that form the last 3 images with her, this one takes a cake. I like the variety of poses on this one, as well as the designesque composition with the eyes. You should really color this!

Heh . . . I guess I am a little biased towards Mari-chan since I've had to make her from scratch. You should see all of the really rough sketches I have in my notebook from trying to establish her character design
And don't worry, I do plan to color this ASAP. As always, thanks for the great help and compliments tarkheki!

Not a prob!
Yah, I know how character design can be. We have to go through at least 50-100 design before nailing a charcater spot on! Gotta love the studio!
