Looking great, have no words for it except that the front swords seemed to be a bit odd dimensionally positioned.

More resolutions available on Anime Paper and Brokentone <-with the alternatives (less blur, and no gears)

Zomg another surprise finish! 8d And it’s the first wall of mine made in HD, thanks to my new monitor. <3 Spread the HD love!
First thing’s first. I totally loved the scan. Props to the original artist because their poses are so badass. *___* I
actually used a previous version of the scan with the sides cut off, and it was deleted once a full-pic was uploaded.
However I still used it because it had better quality (less noise, better colors) than the full sized pic. Of course
that meant I had to re-cg the missing sides.
The scan I used:
Fate/Stay Night
Overall this wall has pretty much everything:
The characters were extracted and re-cg’ed. Plus Saber and Emiya were smudged out cause I didn’t want them. XP
The sky was painted from scratch, using this as a clouds ref.
The swords were extracted from that scan and
FSN 12
and then repainted. Some still probably look like crap and the perspective all wonky, but meh.
The gears and some of the sky spark shapes were vectored and then painted with vector masks. Gear ref images: 1 and 2.
The gears have a painted texture and were blurred to give depth.
See more details and how it came to life with the progress pic:
Stats:
Time spent: when put together, about a week. About 84 hours.
Original PSD size: 304mb at 2844x1600px
Most annoying part: my mood became when painting the sky, and well, I think it shows. >.>
It just took the longest time to look satisfactory. At least listening to the Terminator theme on loop kept me
motivated. Buahahaha.
Easiest/most fun part: making the gears! I first went a little “gear trigger happy”, then I had to cut down on their
spammed numbers. XD
Awesome brushes by Adonihs: http://adonihs.deviantart.com/art/My-Brush-Pack-118954791
Recommended res is the HD, cause the others are crops. (Tried repositioning the swords to fit, but it looked way too crowded). The square (1280x1024) res doesn’t have the two foreground swords. (More res's available on AP)
Alternative versions (find all other alternate resolutions at Brokentone)
Special thanks to Deto, vitaa, Kitten, aleans, and sjade (for ideas with the gears!)
Enjoy, and thanks for viewing! :D

haha you finally finished it
looks so much better darker :3
i think the gears towards the front might need to be a little less blurred? cant really tell
somehow i feel like the swords are too red/dark, but im not really sure what to do with this either
great job, i absolutely love this for great extraction/recg work -

Nicely done, I love it so much, I have to agree with kuryuki about the gears, I am not fond of them too, they make the sky lose it amazing colors, and also are too (very?) much blurred! May I ask for a non-geared version too ? ^^

Amazing! This picture got my attention 2 hours ago, but because my computer was having some kind of minor but annoying problem, I couldn't fave it and comment it.
So... I love the work of reconstruction you did with the cape of Archer, and the sky seems real to me. There's something in your wall that wasn't in the scans; your wallpaper seems almost alive with the brid and vivid sky. Thank you for sharing, and I love every pixel of this wallpaper! Please continue to share your art with us!
P.S. : You didn't remove entirely Shirou : after all, Archer is on your wall, isn't he? well, it's a joke, sorry... I couldn't resist. -

The only thing that i didn't like was those gears... looks no well blended in my opinion and gives no meanings behind it... i think a better idea was about put a grial with some blood behind makes more sense... but i look almost all the concept...

Looking pretty awesome this one.
My only complaint d be those gears...can use an opacity change on those since they are purely decorative. They are getting in the way of those beautiful clouds atm. U can loose that blurness with opacity adjustment as well tbh.
All in all i really enjoy the wall. Pretty colors with great composition. -

Holy ****! And I thought my 1920x1080 monitor was huge o.O It's always good seeing wallpapers that fit my desktop :D
Oh an extraction! Pretty rare but then again that just shows how amazing the original scan was
One can always count on your walls for great technique and god how I love your skies -

It's great!
When I opened it, i wondered where is the original game soundtrack))
Nice colours, fantastic view of UBW. So GAR =) -
sailorchiron May 09, 2010
This is true awesomeness in the most dramatic fashion possible. I adore the colors, they're so bold and intense, which works perfectly with the dramatic poses they have. The swords look cool, it doesn't look like there are any big perspective problems. I love the sky...it's so pretty! *__* Great work!
