Sanctuary Knocker Wallpaper: Waiting for Christmas Day, 1917

Carnelian, Sanctuary Knocker, Shaura (Sanctuary Knocker) Wallpaper

1280x960 Wallpaper

Artist Comment

Christmas Eve, 1917

Soft silence and wan illumination,
the midwinter moonlight upon the snow,
my solemn vigilant rumination.
A candle's meager warmth, wavering glow
Casts sorrowful shadows on your likeness
Your faraway likeness; in dark, I yearn,
your kind voice, strong hands; your shy kindness;
For these I wait, Love; when shall you return?

Dedicated to those who fought Over There, through Christmas Days past and present, and to those who wait for them and pray for their homecoming.

Thanks to kandagawa-san for his lovely scan

    Nice wallpaper. The background fits very well with the scan.

    it ssuch a lovely wall but you just let yourself down with the scan. its grainy in some areas and it needs to be cleaned. it may seem difficult with that scan but some hard work should get you there.

    it does no justice to such a beautiful background and everything.

    whoa! this wallie is so beautiful!
    the scan looked like an ancient one, yet it looks nice.
    the candle and the photo frame gives a lonely feeling.
    the scenery outside the window is great!
    another great job sylachan! ;)

    Wow, let me catch my breath it's so amazing wallpaper! :D

  15. walkure245 Dec 22, 2005

    What a really pretty wallie. I love the scene and I especially love the frosty windows. What a nice detail to enhance how cold it was. The color of the scan is a lil off but it matches perfectly for the time and wallie. This is really pretty work!

  16. Acuni Dec 22, 2005

    wow
    this is a lovely wallie
    i like the bg and the composition is great but the shadows are a litle mixed around i mean the light on the girl and the sourse of light from the candle and window

  17. sangel99 Dec 22, 2005

    WOW! @_@ That is soooo awesome..........I love it it's my new fav ;)

  18. boyseed Dec 23, 2005

    so beautiful!

  19. fawna-chan Dec 24, 2005

    Oh, it's so so pretty...I love the background part, with the window and the snow dusted outside. It's really good! :)

  20. bbls Dec 24, 2005

    oh wow, your background through the window is so beautifully detailed...i especially luv the frosted look of the glass panes!
    the atmosphere here is very somber but perhaps a little hopeful, too as she waits for her loved one to return!
    your concept is also so wonderful!
    :D

  21. semanga Dec 24, 2005

    How sweet ^_^ I got the scan long ago and i love your idea h ere >_<
    Fav from me, sweetie ^_^

    Nice wallpaper. Very nicely executed especially the background. But I think that the windows should be a little blurred and white because due to that the inner side of the house is warmer and mixed with the colder atmosphere outside, the window must have been blurred.

    And the candle is not angledly oriented with the picture.

    But overall, nice stuff.
