drawing - Rei and Asuka

Another SVGBUILD animation.

Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion. These fan-art images were hand-drawn by myself in Inkscape, then animated using my SVGBUILD script. The video was cut in iMovie HD, screencapture in iShowU. The song is Jyukai's Himegoto ("Secret").

Her breasts... :)

Btw, doesn't SVGBUILD cheat a bit on the steps? I remember you having the blonde drawn first, or does the result depend on the settings?

The svgbuild draws things according to depth, not the order I originally created the elements (the svg does not keep track of that). So all things in a layer or group are done consecutively, then the layer or group that is closer or farther. I draw all inking in one layer, painting in another, and so on, which is why it comes out that way in the animation.

Now I *did* cheat here-- I skip the buildup of the spear and NERV logo, so it would fit the song (and the spear is kinda boring to watch).

Do you draw your works directly on Inkscape or do you make a sketch on paper or on a raster program first and then ink and color it on Inkscape?

[ILOVESPEED25]

Holy balls batman, that was incredible... and catchy. ;) lmao

[n0rbert79]

Well done! Nice work :) I will try to create my next project using this svgbuild tool... I need more practice, but the result is worth it.
