However, in the case of the last of those characters, there’ll be one less source of sexually charged artwork, as long-time fan artist Mogudan (@mogudan555 on Twitter) has suddenly and officially retired from drawing Rei fan art.
Nestled in among requests that fan art not be commercially sold and that it be made while respecting the fan community, Khara also says “Please refrain from posting Evangelion fan works that are specifically for pornographic purposes.”
“I have become unable to continue drawing pictures of [Rei] Ayanami,” says Mogudan, speaking through an illustration of One Punch Man’s Tatsumaki.
While Mogudan doesn’t specifically mention Khara’s guidelines, the decision to end two decades of fan art just one day after the studio’s announcement hardly seems like a coincidence.
