Wow i like the sky so pretty

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

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

So.... EPIC! I love it! It's been a while since I've seen a nice wallpaper of my fav. anime. It's good to see amazing walls w/out Saber all over them. Granted the character is nice but there are so many it's a shame more people don't expand as well. I love the apocalyptic feel I get from the wall. Well done, well done indeed. XD

First off, Terminator theme for the BIG win.
I couldn't agree with you more about the original artist. Archer and Rin have never looked better together and nothing less would work for such an epic background. I cannot possibly state how insane it is to go and re-cg something, but it is by far the best treatment for such a beautiful scan like this. While Shiro and Saber do fit nicely into the original scan, I'm really glad you took them out and focused on Rin and Archer. It makes a world of difference and, honestly speaking, Rin and Archer are a big win.
Boy oh boy, where do I start with the background? Well, first off it needs to be stated that I haven't been this blown away by a painted sky since candy-chan. That alone, without the gears and swords, is what really sells me with this wallpaper. I also love the addition of the swords (painting them really improved the look as well, btw) and the gears? Well, I don't care what anyone says. The gears rock, period. Honestly speaking, I wouldn't get the full feel of Unlimited Blade Works without the gears in the background. I remember when I first saw this scene, it made me think back to the anime series when Archer was fighting Berserker. I'll state this, I have bever done that with a wallpaper before. The entire background completely compliments itself with it's beautiful and true-to-originality quality it offers. By far, this is probably one of my favorite backgrounds of all time. I can easily close my eyes and imagine myself there, the feel of the steel blades, the heavy atmosphere of the sky, and the rough dirt beneath my feet.
I really cannot stress how much I absolutely love this wallpaper. In a series that has a lot of different wallpapers, this one stands above and beyond. From the sheer high definition it offers, to the creativity and quality. 84 hours? I'd say it's time well spent. This wallpaper has made it onto my work computer desktop and I've got a very strong feeling it's not going to be change. Not for a long, long time. By far your finest work yet, and I can only imagine where you'll be going from here. I can't wait to see!
