I was browsing around Lifehacker and I came across a recent article on retro game wallpapers that look frickin' fantastic!
Here's (http://orioto.deviantart.com/gallery/#Videogame-Remakes) a link to Orioto's gallery (the artist behind it).
Tet, I think you'll especially appreciate Land Sorrow (http://orioto.deviantart.com/art/Land-Sorrow-112551782).

Holy crap that is awesome, I might have to see about getting that Land Sorrow piece printed out to hang on my wall, since the file is a nice, large resolution. Some of the other ones are pretty cool as well, but that Land Sorrow is easily my favorite.
-
Hehe I figured :D It's my wallpaper now! On my PS3 too ;D
I think Que and Cobra will like the Metroid one. It's dark but I think that's you guys may like about it.
-
Those are great. Thanks for the link. I downloaded everything for the games I know, like Zelda Sonic and Mario. I also checked out the rest of his gallery and found a few more gems there.
-
I was expecting to be mildly amused, but holy crap, those are amazing. The Zelda one is easily my favorite, but the Megaman X and Metroid ones are also incredible. But the others are really good too, that guy's got talent. I'm blown away. I would more than love to have that Zelda one printed for my wall.
-
Wow, those are fantastic! I'm with Que. The Zelda one is the best. The Sonic ones I liked a lot too.
-
Can you imagine if they remade and expanded A Link to the Past with an art style like that? Man.
-
I know. It would be awesome. What's interesting to me is that it's a fairly dark piece but it's the chibi Link from cheery-bright The Wind Waker. Quite the contrast, and quite effective.
-
Those are awesome. New wallpaper for me.
And Que, we're talking about Nintendo here. I can't see them doing an art style like that. But it would be awesome.
-
Well, I know they'd never do that, but it would be amazing if they did.
-
Orioto has been making some more glamorous retro games wallpapers, most notably a new Metroid one (http://orioto.deviantart.com/art/Toxic-Planet-122648838)! Check it out.

Someone give that guy a fucking medal of honor. Seriously (http://orioto.deviantart.com/art/Up-in-the-sky-120333843). No really, [urlhttp://orioto.deviantart.com/art/Big-Blue-116686280=]seriously[/url]. If I ever start that game museum I dream about, he's getting his own wall (http://orioto.deviantart.com/art/Speleology-s-Friends-116165451).
-
But i realize everytime i don't mention it, people believe it's a painting from scratch ! As usual, (and as it will always be), that's a matte painting and painting over with some painted elements !
Can someone please explain what he means by this? For reference, it is in his comments regarding Mario World.
-
My guess would be he means he starts with a screenshot that he then paints over and embellishes, as opposed to starting with a blank canvas and paints up from there.

GamersDigArt.com interview Orioto (http://www.gamersdigart.com/index.php/features/35-interviews/95-meet-orioto)

Cool interview. Should have figured him as a Vanillaware fan.
I shouldn't head read that. I went to the wiki link for them and then started wishing again that I had an English translation of Princess Crown. I really loved it, but I got so tired of reading translation material out of a binder that I never did quite finish.
