Hmmm 2nd wallie... I guess I have to do a Saber wallpaper eventually, being my most favourite character and all. Anyway I've always liked the scene (for those who've watched FSN hopefully they'd remember this part), so I thought maybe I should try to make a wallpaper out of it and here's the result. Vectoring Saber is probably the easier part, as you can see there isn't too much to vector anyway. But making the background is tough, prolly also because it's my first time in making a real background for a wallpaper (1st wallpaper doesn't really have a "real" bg).

Did the mountains for about 5 times, tried vectoring initially, but of course that failed miserably, and I ended up just painting it... It's not good I know, I suck at drawing stuff with hands >_<.
As for the clouds, I again tried making it myself, but that failed too hard so I had to use a brush for it. And then I coloured it from red to blue... Did some scaling, adjustments here and there. I hope they don't look too bad...
The last part is mostly blending the vector and all the background, which took several days of listening to various advices/comments. They are all credited below.
Hopefully the wall is alright... Comment and critiques (go as harsh as you can!) are welcomed.

Edit:
After much consideration, I've decided to add a black top/bottom to the 5:4 and 4:3 ratio resolutions. Initially the wallpaper is cropped on the side, with Saber shrinked so she didn't cover too much, but that didn't end up too well imo and Saber looks out of perspective...

I love the expression on Saber's face and the background that goes with it. Both combined together makes the wall so calm and peaceful. And that's a pretty beautiful vector you did of Saber too ^^ Glad to see you got rid of the glow around the clouds, and the mountains look much nicer too~
