Was there any consensus on the Evas or lack of them? It seems like almost everyone has had different ideas. From memory:
1- Evas as in canon, only used for initial giant size battle
2- No Evas, angels not giants (the pilots would need to be relatively able physical combatants for this one, which kind of puts a crimp in Shinji's role as the main hero unless he's taken rather far from canon - you just don't get through any significant amount of physical training and still be a spineless weenie)
3- Evas as human size artifical girls, angels never giants, used to help restrain their inhuman strength and feed their inhuman stamina/appetites
4- Evas as power armor/power armor that grows the pilot to fight giant angels
5- Evas as artificial girls that synchronise with the pilot and become a giant lightly armored version ala Ultimate Girls or Ultraman
My favorite was the last, and suggestion was that they be modeled after Kos-Mos of Xenosaga - and I have to say that after looking at some Xemosaga galleries, I'm ecen more in favor - there's orignal Kos-Mos, the redesigned Kos-Mos for Xenosaga II, and T-Elos right off the bat that could be recolored as units 00, 01, and 02, and T-Elos would work as 03 without recolor. And ZOMG, Telos is teh hott! Looks like XS2 is on my "buy for the stack" list after all...
Anyway, I think I have enough reference images to try doing some more of the angel girl pictures, but that's going to have to wait, because I have a paper due tomorrow. Also, I'm out of printer ink to spit out a dozen and a half lightened Ayanami-images to draw over.
Oh, and the one that I'd thoguht was the 18th angel is actually just the one that rummaged around in Asuka's mind from orbit, drawn up close and not glowing. Oh well... I'm pretty sure there was a contest like what ZI described, though... THere's kind of intesting one that has Sega Saturn logos plastered on the images, labeled "Insubstantial Angel," as well.
