BEFORE YOU CLICK: This is not one of those "throw some text and effects on official stuff" wallpapers people tend to create; I did the controllers in pastel.

I did the actual pastel artwork about 3 months back, but I always felt that the piece would be complete if I digitally added some text effects to it.
I lightened up the light areas on the controllers in certain areas, as it would always end up too dark when I took pictures of it.

In any case, here it is. Enjoy.

Just.......wow.

LV, that is absolutely gorgeous. You are one amazing person. You have an excellent way with colors and blending brightnesses. There should be more favorites on that!

Why does the playstation controller say Rise From the Ashes...? That makes no sense to me.get your heads out of your asses sounds more appropriate to me

Graphicly it looks good. I really like it, particularly the Xbox(?) controller. The background in the Gamecube one makes it kinda hard to make out what it is.

OOOOOHHHHHHHHH. GAAAAAAAMMMMES.

...ahem.

A job very well-done. If I stared at this beautiful work of art any longer, the brilliant clash of colors would result in premature blindness, so I'll leave on this note: Great job!

That artwork has a certain flair about it.. in matters of colour schemes, expression, style and the actual work that must have flown into it. The themes of PS and Cube are very well-emphasized by their colour sets and the way the controllers are worked into the background. I don't mean to say that the Xbox theme doesn't come out as clear; those circuits could express anything, along with the idea of escaping into a digital world. But on the other side, they also express a very technical idea, something that's set and solid. Though the way the light circuits grow from the buttons add some kind of movement... ahem. It seems as if I can't express what I feel ^^; My apologies. It is, in any way, well done. Hm, while the other two fit to 100%, the green one's design and background idea fit to 99,9%...? But as if that would diminish the whole, tsk, tsk. Hats off before you and your skills.
