This is inspired by the work of one of my favorite artists, Adrian Knopik.
As with my Basara wallpaper, I went image hunting on danbooru. The only suitable image I found did not feature a blindfold, so I drew one using illustrator.
A fairly simple wall, nothing complicated.
Resources used:
-Texture by Princess of Shadows -Coffee stain brushes by Nyssa -Pattern by Gomedia -Bird brushes by flordelys-stock -Font is Aldine 401 BT -Vector by me, myself.
I just wrote a random quote about freedom, but only after this wall was accepted did it occur to me that C.C.'s wish was death.
P.S. this one's for the ladies and gents over at A.P.P.L.E.

This is fabulous...it looks so cool...C.C. really puts in the mood The birds in red are a nice touch but i think you should have put a little bit of shadows on C.C. to make it look like she's going towards the light

This is an awesome wall...! I love how you blend all the textures, brushes, and that coffee stain. Personally, I really liked that blood bird brushes, and the vector is nice too. The tear on C.C.'s face really matched up with the title.
Nicely done! +Fav!~

Danbooruuu!! .(-_-). The message of this one is so poignant~ it really sheds light on C.C.'s character, and hopefully she won't be seen as just another pretty body anymore. You gave the piece great momentum with the directional bird brushes, but grounded it with the impeccable use of textures. With the typography, you sent a clear message without failing to retain the essence of Code Geass. Kudos for more Geass works!~

There's a lot going on in this wall but it really harmonizes nicely. There's some sort of twisted irony in having birds, your symbol of freedom, being blood red. The staining effect really adds a dramatic effect too.
Really nice work!

That much texture doesn't go well with the colours, I think. However, it is a very good wallpaper, especially the blood birds, albeit, it's a tad emo. :P

ahhh i LOVE the concept but even from the thumb i think its obvious that the colors clash alot--the gray with that shade of green and red makes it look less put together. my feeling is that it would have looked better with a slightly more tan bg color and a darker red. and as a more minor complaint, some of the lines in her hair are a bit stiff and i think it would have been more epic to have them really flow in the direction of the blood =] nevertheless +fav

At first glance, an overall nice piece of work.
Good use of texture, and the concept of transforming blood splatter into a flock of birds, flying away, depicts the title of this piece very well. I was wondering if perhaps I could get the sample image without the blindfold? I'm curious to know what it looks like.
Apart from that, I don't see any flaws. This wallpaper marvelously shows that C.C. isn't just another gorgeous bishoujo character, but that she also has so much going on beneath the surface.
And hurray for widescreen! o/
Keep up the awesome work, I shall be expecting more great things from you =) Favey+

Your vectoring style is really recognizable and unique (in a good way), I love how you made some of the lines really thick and thin in other places. It looks great on this image. :) I also really like the grunge effect and the birds. The colors on C.C. look great, but I don't really like this much green and red together. Otherwise, it's very pretty.

Dope. Simply Dope. I love the motif of the blindfold on CC, and I love the artsy escapism of the birds. Using the red seems like you wanted to call attention to the fact that in a violent death your blood usually splatters. lol

i like it alot. the fact that you used birds to diffuse the red is really interesting. and i love that you drew the blindfold in illustrator. my only problem is how you drew the lines on it. the part on her brow over her right eye makes her eyes seem like they might be a little too far apart, which really isnt a big deal. and the dark one wrapping around her left just seems like it could be thinned out a bit even though there's shadow.

An absolutely wonderful wallpaper. Its graffiti-esque artistic style helps to blow new life into the character of CC. While mostly aloof in the anime, this wallpaper touches upon her true side, the one which deeply wishes to be liberated through death, but cannot be granted that wish.
This is impeccably portrayed here, with the birds flying behind her, a common symbol for freedom, but her eyes are shut close; the birds are simply out of her reach and so is her freedom, an allegory which builds upon an uncommonly tragic side of CC, one condemned to live in despair, against her every hope for the contrary.
