Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works

A dry red plain under a red sky with huge dark gear wheels and bars of smoke. Swords without number stand in the plain, to a horizon that glows. Far off, at the left, a low hill is thick with swords against the light. No one is there. In the open ground in front of the hill one long sword stands by itself against the glow. Great swords stand close to us at each side, and their long shadows come toward us.

This is Unlimited Blade Works, from Fate/stay night, a visual novel by Type-Moon. It is the world inside the hero Archer, made real: a dry plain, a sky of gears, a hill, and every sword that he has seen.

No one is in it. There are only the swords, and the shadows that they throw toward us. The painting has 14,625 brush strokes.
