Description
Finally!
Another component to the 3 Barons Of Hell Cover I'm slowly getting together. 
Behold, Asuka Langley Soryu and Evangelion Unit 02.
She took longer to do since I was having problems getting certain colors [like her hair] to look right. 
That and I just wasn't happy with the shading on certain parts, so I redid various parts things like 2 or 3 times; I'm happy with the results. 
Oddly enough, I didn't initially like Asuka when she first made her debut in the anime.
But like an annoying sibling, she kinda grew on me and - aside from being a hardcore bitch and all - reminded me of myself in some aspects. 
Hopefully it's worthy!!!

Now here's sumthing I can't resist favin'
REally nice! man I can't even begin to imagine how long it took ya to do all of those paths!
The gradient work is again top notch; it even gives the pic a certain 3D-ish look! @___@
Uber tight, looks pretty fly...

Thank you.
I had about 90+ layers and countless paths in this. :b The shading technique I stumbled upon while doing this helped in the groovy effect I love.
If you think this is good, it's part of the base images where my vectors started getting improved - check out my other works to see if you like them!

I like what you did to the colors, it's actually quite improved compared to the original.

Thanks.
I didn't realize there was a colored version of this [since I just found the line art] until after I had done this.

Well that would have made it take a bit longer haha.

Well I mean just because your color reference isn't in the same place as the image you're working on. Whether that be on another picture or in your head.

Yeah, I know they're not the same, but it's more of a homage to the way we see them and a stylization of shading I do.
Instead of having one color in it, it's a mixture of two complimentary shades of the same color that just look better rather than just being a flat color.

worthy?
I am not worthy to view such perfect fanart!
god, how do you do it??
it looks just like the anime- no, better! modern! edgy! interesting!
and asuka is the only character in evangelion that i like- she has the right attitude concerning her job- less whining and more ass-kicking!
wonderful..faving this!

I forgot to put this. Forgive me! Is Asuka's surname spelled Soryu or Sohryu? Also I want to know if she actually has 3 nationalities. I know she is of German desent and I just want to clarify on that. Thanks!

It's ok. xD
Her last name's officially Soryu but you could spell it either way.
Officially, Asuka's of mixed German and Japanese descent but she's of American nationality. 
Let me know if you have any more questions. :>

Do you know why she always wear the A10 clips on her hair? Is it symbolic? Your thoughts on this.
