The 3rd in a series of YTMNDs that were sitting on my desktop and should have been deleted but for some reason weren’t...

i think perhaps the reason it doesn't convey that profundity (hoho) is because the emotion is only reflected in his glasses. The rest of his face and the rest of the picture are quite bright. And static. Nothing wrong with that, but obviously the pictures in the glasses themselves are small windows into the real severity of the situation, and that disharmony of reality (the reality on his face/the reality in the glasses) makes the audience question its magnitude.
@ klasky, i dunno how much you know about Eva, but 'static' quite well describes this character's face at anytime in the series. he is not one to emote, and it's questionable whether he has any feelings at all. right now, he's watching his own kingdom fall, and his own people massacred, and this is pretty much how he would react. zer0 may not like this site, but to me it looks like something ripped straight from the show (minor technical errors aside). p.s. 1'd for anime.
I appreciate your comments, dyskrasia. You hit on something that’s at the core of my dissatisfaction with this site, namely the requisite knowledge of its source material. While those familiar with Eva might find its meaning to be self-evident, the vast majority of the populous will remain unable to decipher its relevance. By fashioning this site in a completely inaccessible manner, I’ve inadvertently created nothing more than fan-art, and quite marginal fan-art at that...
Oh and, you mentioned that somehow, the requisite knowledge required for this YTMND, in terms of the actual show, was too much, but there is one way to compensate for that without actually compensating. I don't rightly know how to explain this... But what if you used a transparent red layer in the foreground moving slowly down. You'd set it up like blood on the 'implied' camera lens. It may sound overdone or trite, but I think it might really fit. It would counteract the static foreground.
