My latest trace. I just wanted to share it cause after fighting it for a long time and after getting frustrated by it numerous other times, I finally got the eyes the way I liked them... for the most part.

Thoughts?

I ain't seen you do something bad yet, Xian. Its okay. Kinda haunting. But I doesn't really hold my attention. Maybe add some text.

Added the Nerv logo- better?

The trace is well done. Good thick uneven lines - it's a nice touch.

I'd say lose the NERV logo, unless you want to trace it in the same style. Right now it looks like it's been pasted on.

What might help this wall the most right now is a very simple and subtle texturing to the background. Or maybe a very slight gradient, or perhaps a subtle shadow behind the character. (Not all the way around her; just a slight shadow as if she's near a wall.) You don't want the background to draw too much attention away from your character, but right now it looks too plain. Experiment a little bit with it.
