This has got to be the longest I've spent on a WP yet.
Image of Saber was taken from a card scan on AP and cleaned it up to the best of my current ability. Wings taken by a vector scan of an AIR image by Miky1103. All other effects, background, vectors, brushes, etc., were applied myself.
The image is composted of 12 visual layers (22 total while working). I don't think I ever obsessed with a project this much. I'm still learning quite a lot, but couldn't get my mind off this...but a few days later and 6 Advil I think its complete.
It looks great on my monitor in its natural 1680 x 1050 aspect ratio (16:9) but mileage and taste may vary. Hopefully Saber didn't mind and this can be my second submission.

I really like saber - but the face and wings.... Its just to happy for the show. Its just me though - the paper itself is good just a bit out of place for the series.

Really beautiful wallpaper you got here. Saber with her hair down is super hot. The wings are an especially nice touch. Beautfiul background too, its really nice to look at and easy on the eyes. All in all I love it and thanks for sharing :)

Hmm..it's a really nice wall. Feels springy =3. I think you can clean this up a bit more cause to me it still looks a little in progress, but it is really good. Better than anything i'd ever be able to do XD. And the wings...don't fit as snugly as it should, but i like it Xp

Hm...
I think the right wing doesn't quite fit, either that or maybe I get the perspective wrong... The blocks stuff look pretty artsy but hmmm I feel a bit weird, and the autumn falling leaves need to be made to blend into the bg more.
But good effort overall *thumbs up*.

hmmm i think you should take out that piece of background that covers the right wing it really seems out of place and ruins the picture a bit for me

The energy is great in this wall.

What a pleasant wallpaper ^_^
Saber looks really good & happy .(n_n).
5 years, 4 months ago
It's blurry on some parts. especially the upper left one. And, I like it better without wings though. But, it's up to you...cuz you have your on big idea on this piece. Positively, The best part that I like here are the combination of colors and the maple leaves. It give a calm serenade
5 years, 4 months ago
I guess saber looks good in everything... Even with wings...

Nice wallpaper ^^ Not bad with the wings and the leafs, good idea ^^

really nice wall, the wings are ok (~_~)
5 years, 4 months ago
It's Nice Wallpaper. Saber's Face in This Wallpaper is Really Really Calm and Peaceful. Arts and Colors in the Background are Splendid and Delicate. Their Classical Feelings are Very Impressive. I Like Them. May be the Background Express Paradise of Elysium. I Think White Wings behind Her Mean Her Wish and Hope Where Her Eyesights are Watching at Far Far Away. Thanks for Your Good Work.

I think the idea is great. The colors you chose for the background make a very good combination with Saber´s own colors.
5 years, 4 months ago
the weakness on this wall is juz the wings that mismatch the conduction of saber posture.. but overall is perfect!
5 years, 4 months ago
It looks great. I think I like the colors more than anything else. I can see myself using this as my Fall Time Background. Plus the fact that its Widescreen makes me a happy happy boy. WooT!

Nice wallpaper never seen that pic used before. Wings are a little iffy but not bad.
5 years, 4 months ago
The wallpaper is amazing to look at. Saber is really pretty there and serene. I do find the background a little odd, but it has some unique characteristics to it. Some parts tend to be blurry and there are a lot of jagged lines, especially the wings. There are too many leaves for my taste, but overall this is still a good wallie.
5 years, 4 months ago
So pretty! And it's really a nice surprise to see such an happy wall of Saber!

Thank you for a splendid image. Please do its best from now on. Thank you very much.

Nice background to go with the scan. I'd think the wings are a little out of place though.

OMG!!!!
I JUST LOVE THIS WALL!!!
Saber looks sooo cool in the wall... and i love the bg... it is very unique!!! i reminds me of all the seasons (except winter) combined into one scene... and it doesn't clash! what perfection!!
I like the way your bg looks scenic but at the same time abstract.
fav!!!!

hmmm, I don't really like the concept of wings on Sabor. Sabor was all about fighting carving your own destiny. Wings ... do really fit her despite her angelic face :)

It is so sad for Shiro to command the last command because it means that Shiro and Saber will never meet again for the rest of life time.

Ohh, so pretty...!
The only thing that really bothers me is the way the blurriness of the leaves in the foreground start to give me a headache if I try to focus on them too long-- sort of like those Mossimo T-shirts that were so cool in the 90s. ^^; It's not enough to keep me from putting it on my computer, though!
I love the wings, and the peaceful forest feel to the wallpaper.

At first sight I thought its Rosette from Chrono Crusade!!! But now at a better look its from FateStay Night^^!!! COOL!!!

I like how you made the wall surreal, adding wings to saber is overwhelming. Splendid wallpaper.

this is a realy nice paper and i must say that i have seen such a goog a long time ago

I really like the leaves and BC, the rectangles showing "different scenes" are a nice idea. The only thing I didn't like that much are the wings. other than that, nice job ^^
2 years, 10 months ago
Not bad, The wings look like their going left and right when Saber looks like her left and right are front and back. the little radial gradient sort of bothers me because it goes over top of her wings. The background is nice but doesn't really seem to suit her because, the colors seem solid in the background but in the foreground you got all this shading. Some people I've seen actually have been able to make vectors a couple solid colors rather than having that fade to shading. Or you could apply more shading to the background.
