Neon Genesis Evangelion (Ukiyo-e Bracing for Impact) by Jed Henry

Note from the artist on this work: "When I adapt a scene into Ukiyo-e, I usually translate all the scene's elements into an 1800s Edo period style. However, for this particular print I decided to work in the modern Shin-hangastyle, which is known for its realism and much more complex color schemes. Because of this, I did not adapt the design of the robot's armor. Instead I wanted to focus on the anachronism between a futuristic mobile suit walking though a 19th century pastoral scene.
