Original post here. This image was researched by Bacchus at ErosBlog as part of the “Γ commission.” The research was originally published at Hedonix as “Γ 055 – Plugsuit Procedure.” Here is what Bacchus found.
This image is the work of an artist who called himself “spworks”, who posted it in several places on the internet in 2003 and requested comments on it at the CGTalk forums for the Society of Digital Artists:
hi.. This is my work..(first time upload in here). Only used Photoshop 6.0.. comment plz
One comment in the subsequent thread asks “Perhaps the plugsuits from Evangelion were your inspiration for her suit? And do I notice some buildings from Final Fantasy Spirits Within through the window?” The artist replied “This picture was influenced by several other artwork. My knowledge of science fiction is limited so I based my work on many others.”
