It's rather irrelevant but I'll still mention it, my headcanon on my drawings is that the Asukas dealing with MPEs, Rei, Shinji, Nerv, etc, are each a separate instance, not mixed up, no cheating / NTR. But that's how 'I' see them.
Sometimes I get a sweet asushin idea, but midway through, I go "why bother if it's gonna be underwhelming for my core supporters and I'll be resented by the target audience because of my track record" and work on something else instead. I draw it just for myself and move on.
It’s been a long time since I posted any process work, so here is Saruei’s! Can't trust anything nowadays uhh... Hello, artist here👋😅I draw everything with my own hands.
