An old wallpaper of mine. This has been sitting in my unfinished folder for almost a year, I just couldn't quite make up my mind on what I don't like about it. So I opened it up today, added some text and a little extra shading and decided I might as well submit it.
At first I just vectored Ciel and wanted it to be a wallpaper of her alone. Than I found the awesome scan of Shiki and the idea popped into my head. If I am not mistaken the two of them fight each other at one point in the story. The background is a heavily edited stock photo of an underground passage. I wanted the two of them to be in the dark with the bright light in the back, kinda of symbolic.

@__@ I JUST changed my desktop today, jeeze. First off, I'd like to announce that I <3 Ciel. She's my blue-hair/eyed goddess XD. I was rather upset because I couldn't find a widescreen wall with her in it..and lo and behold. I adore this wallpaper. First off, this is a gorgeous scan of Ciel in her school uniform =3. You did a great job vectoring as well, if I do say so myself and I will agree, adding Shiki was a good idea. Granted, I'm sure it would of worked just as well with just her, but it adds so much more with him in it. My only complaint is that the text doesn't fit with the background. The color and font just seem to clash, imo, with the background. Then again, I'm also a textless person so yeah =X.
Overall, I adore this wall. If you had a textless version, this would be on my desktop in nothing flat. It's still a favorite for me though. Great work!

Absolutely love this wallpaper. Ciel does not get nearly enough love that I feel she so desperatley deserves. Ive always loved the ciel pic from that scan and so Im defintely happy to see it used in a wallpaper. I must thank you so much for providing a no text version too. This also being a widescreen wallpaper makes me happy. Simply put, fantatsic job you did and thanks a bunch for sharing.

I agree, more Ciel love is needed. Easily my favorite character from the series.
First off, thanks for the textless version. Now to the critiquing part. Your vectors of Ciel and Shiki are really good and deserve lots and lots of praise. The blood at Shiki's feet catches my eye lot, but maybe because it has some depth to it, and looks like real blood. And having Ciel gets you bonus points with me.
The background is what separates this wall from complete awesome, and since this is going to be kinda longer than normal, it gets it's own section =P. The dark edges and alleyway setting are hiding your beautiful vectors! All the colors are muted and there's times where I have to look around to find details. The point where Ciel and Shiki really fight is during Ciel's storyline of the game, and they fight in the moonlit hallway of the school, Shiki nearly on the verge of being taken over by Roa. If you want to resurrect this one, go with that idea, since that way you can give life to a scene that's almost perfectly portrayed by this already (Ciel fights in the robes and not her uniform), and create epic win at the same time.
7.5/10 Saved and placed on my desktop.

A dark tunnel as the backgound is interesting, though it doesn't really fit the characters together. A nightly one in the park would've been better, because it'd fit to the atmosphere. The characters are looking good though, nice wallpaper.

hmm...I really like that you were able to place the characters that you wanted. The wall has a nice effect with the light in the background, Ciel up front and center, and the "cool" pissed-off look Shiki further back.
However, I don't like the contrast of expressions. Ciel's pose isn't nearly as aggressive as Shiki's - even welcoming perhaps (although she does have daggers ^_^). I know that she can definitely be dangerous as well :P
Besides that though, I like the way the wall looks. Again, the lighting works very well for me.

First time I met Ciel was in the game Melty blood, I used to play with her, hehe she was one of favourite characters. I have the anime as well but unfortunately I haven't had enough time to watch it. but I know it's a good one.

It's Nice Wallpaper. Ciel's Pose Flying in the Wallpaper Express Activity and Freedom in Her Deginated Destiny of Black Background. The Light in the Gate Can be Their Exit? I Think Dim Focus and Dark Colos Mean Their Fate Ciel and Siki Have to Carry out. Thanks for Your Good Work.

I don't know the series, but... is she suppose to be a vampire!? O_o won't she burn with that bright sky!? *LOL, just kidding* Anyway, I like your idea and I say the bloodied hand should stay, if you remove that this will be a cheerful and happy wall (for the people who never watch the series, like me ^_^ The sky and the trees could use more colors IMHO.
