    This is a chopped up version of my Nintendo Wii cel-shaded desktop background, a few months ago. It was my most impressive Photoshop work at the time. I've since done a lot of other cool things, but I'd still like to show it off and see what you all think ;).

    [​IMG]

    I got the various characters from different artwork from the good ol' hacked golin/harris combo on Nintendo's E3 press site. Then I used a simple cutout filter from Photoshop CS2 and modified it a lil. The background behind the characters I made. And then theres various effects like stroke and opacity and stuff. Tell me how this here noob did ;).

    [P.S. this doesn't stretch my browser page but my monitor is big... I'm sorry if it stretches your browser :()

    That's pretty unique. It's like you can just touch the items and characters featured. Nice job.
