I've come up with a method for creating wallpapers from classic NES/SNES games and I was wondering whether others would be interested in seeing more of these kinds of art:



This is an example. I want to do more, and I can do it from pretty much any old school game. I'd like to know people appreciate this kind of stuff before I invest any time into it. (The method is time consuming)

I cant see the images at work lol, will check when i get home though

looks cool would like to see more, perhaps from Metroid games or Castlevania

[hckngrtfakt]

Yeah, definitely interested on this

1080p please

Zelda-
Kirby-
F-zero-
DK Country-
Mega Man-

Whatever's possible

You could add some more spacing at the bottom so that the superbar / taskbar doesn't hide the edge

[Draconian Guppy]

+1 for dk country!!!!

But a more minimalistic approach!
That mario one is good, but feels a bit too busy!

I'd love to see more; 1920x1080 would be awesome!

[karl_87]

1680 x 1050 for me, would love to see more of these!

Yoshi's Island!

Very cool. Would love to see some classic Mario, Metroid, and Zelda.

I'd love to see classic Genesis/Sonic The Hedgehog.

I have a long list of old school games I can make wallpapers from, and I'll happily take requests.

I am working on 1920x1080 haunted house from Super Mario World (the first haunted house). Including the part where you can fly up the top and run along.

The method is laborious, and I'd like to put some of this work on something like deviant art, but would there be copyright issues?

Nice idea I like it but I prefer the other SMW one that someone posted on 4chan years ago that takes up the whole screen with different elements from SMW... This looks kinda, lacking anything from the top down to almost the bottom .
EDIT: Not on the PC that has it but found a link to it;

I like it - it is from my childhood era but once the icons / windows elements are overlayed - it might be hard on the eyes visually.

It is cool though and appreciated the version you have so far.

VERY cool. Often considered this, but I don't use wallpapers
