There were supposed to be 3 new concept arts in Anime Insider #12, however, Wizard Entertainment has issued a notice for the guy who has the scans that they're copyrighted material. Still, someone else got one of the scans.
EVA Unit-00 and Rei?
Not what I was expecting, but keep in mind that going from cartoon to real life will involve changes no matter what and that these are still early concept arts. I personally like what they did to Unit-00, making it look more life-like and less robot, although more armor could be used and a little more detail. The toes are kinda freaky too. o.0
Rei...I agree with Crowe's opinion that Rei should be Asian, but she shouldn't look as...alive as that. In the series, she was unemotional and pale. Hopefully, this is just one artist concept and that there are others lying around.
We've seen Asuka's and Rei's...I wonder what Shinji will look like.
