I saw https://www.deviantart.com/kirryez Misato commission artwork he did and I really wanted to try and make it look like a screenshot from the show. Unfortunately, the colors are far less appealing and more drab as a result. The color choices in the original are so soft and easy on the eye. Mine also has less personality. It was fun to draw though.
In other words, abandon this post and check out https://www.deviantart.com/kirryez below, because it's leaps and bounds cuter than mine.
