See? I'm mindful of spoilers! Those who want to watch the (Fate/stay night) anime, or play the hgame whenever first and don't care to know the identity (forgotten, then remembered...) of the Servant Archer...

Don't click fullview. Those who want to know, or frankly don't care and just want to see art...go right ahead. Also below are some more written spoilers and my thoughts.

...Okay that's more than enough!

So Archer is Emiya Shirou's future Heroic (jaded) Spirit Servant self...I hadn't seen this concept drawn yet, and I was tempted to draw Shirou and redraw Archer...so why not combine the two. Also-- I hate how Shirou looks in the 'official art'. He looks kinda dorky so I used a different style. ^___^ I think he looks much better!

If ever Shirou pulls his shirt off entirely (in the drawing) , he'd become... Archer! Tada! Like Superman almost. But not.

I included Tohsaka Rin's pendent in the drawing because that's what essentially links the two incarnations...Rin saved one with it, then summoned the other. Woo.

The background is supposed to be Unlimited Blade Works, but I fail at drawing swords...okay. I'm just very lazy and wanted to just end it.

"I am the bone of my sword.

Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.

I have created over a thousand blades.

Unknown to Death.

Nor known to Life.

Have withstood pain to create many weapons.

Yet, those hands will never hold anything.

So I pray, Unlimited Blade Works."
