"Let the sky burn bright red as we fly faster than wind"
** _The sky trembled as if shook by the waters of a mighty flood. The silence was utter and complete, even as death and pride raged blindly all around. The clouds exploded as fire rained down from above. Victory seemed within reach. Yet out of the mist, the sky burned red like a comet, swift as the fastest wind. And on it’s tail road our deaths. The Sylvana.
The vastness of clearest day. Sky that shakes like thunder. Eyes sharp as the edge between death and life. Let the sky burn brightest red as we fly faster than the wind._ **
That scene toward the beginnings of the series. Claus and Lavi flying into the thick of the Disith fleet, colored smoke their only small advantage. They flew towards a ship, enemy fire going on all around them. They almost certainly would have died there, then out of no where, a red vanship. "You’re in the Sylvana's line of fire. Follow me!". Tatiana and Alistia lead them to safety, the Silvana rose from the clouds and the legend goes on. Looking back on that scene, I think "Now THAT was a truly great story." It’s the first scene that comes to my mind when I think of Last Exile, and it was my inspiration for the wallpaper you now see before you.

A beautiful wall for a beautiful anime. The only thing I think you could improve on in this wall is the characters themeselves. The seem kinda plain compared to the rest of the picture maybe a little cleaning in some places, maybe a few layer blending modes duplicates, or even using the burn tool in certain spots. But still loving this wall. Worthy edition to fan made walls for Last Exile.

nice job, though i think i would enjoy the wall more if i watched the show, personally i don't find the characters very amusing to look at, they look kind of boring i guess

I like this wall, the layout is great and the red and grey is striking, but I am going to go with ~Awaken. Something about the characters looks almost washed out. I know that the style is kind of that way to begin with, but... maybe just adding some slight color tone would help keep the characters from looking so alabaster.

Ack. Sorry for the late comment. >__<
Neways, this is one hell of a job well done. Can't really find any flaws other than more improvement on the characters itself.
Worth a fav.

A good wallpaper, albeit not great. The background could have used a bit more work, since it's very simple at the moment, and the positioning of the text isn't really the most appropriate for it. That airplane or whatever also looks off, it doesn't really flow into the background, it kinds of stand out too much. Overall, good job, but it could have been better.
