I saw this book in a Japanese bookstore, loved the cover art so I bought it thinking it might have more. Turns out its just a bunch of art for the character...
Anyway, I've done some searching and the name of the illustrator who did the cover is Akemi Hayashi, but I can't find that much online.. Any tips?
i think it's the official artist for evangelion
Akemi Hayashi isn't an illustrator, she's an animator, and most animators (in general. There are exceptions) don't really have large amounts of illustrative work.
The most you can really do is find whatever shows she's worked on and google images. If you can find out which shows there's a possibility she's drawn some promotional art of some sort.

I figured as much as she has credits in a lot of stuff, but I can't find any of her art online.

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is the official artist for Evangelion.
I've heard Akemi Hayashi in reference to Evangelion, but I have no idea what her role is. She seems like a mediocre shoujo artist who occasionally copies Sadamoto's style.

She was animation director on Eva 3.0.
>mediocre shoujo artist
Are we looking at the same person
If anything her work is more akin to Takeshi Honda or Mai Yoneyama's work than Sadamoto, all of whom are pretty far from "shoujo" shit
