Hmm, the cropping and blending is really well done, but it is way too crowded. I think if you get rid of the pics of Oreius, Trufflehunter, Glenstorm, Reepicheep, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and Trumpkin, it would look a bit less crowded.

But for your first attempt in a while, it's still pretty good. Well done.

Maybe do a similar one with Aslan in the center and the Pevensies in the corners?

Its very good, but I would have put Aslan on top, the Pevensies on the side and Caspian at the bottom. Maybe do away with the others. Very well done though! :ymapplause:

Good work, Check-Every-Wardrobe! I like the idea of making a wallpaper with everybody on it, but it does look a little bit crowded as it was already said. Maybe, if you only put Aslan, the Pevensies and Caspian it would look better. But I love that you chose the map as the background of the wallpaper. Hope to see more from you :)

Thanks for the advice everyone!!!
I'm going to try making another one with less people, probably just have the pevensies, Aslan and Caspian.

Nice background Check-Every-Wardrobe, very well done for your first attempt. I can definitely see your thought process and design ideas of where you want to go with the final piece. Your use of a collage works well as a layout idea. Yes, it seems to be a bit crowded right now, but I can still see the collaging idea work. I understand why you have the Pevensies as the focus with the characters they have met surrounding them. Perhaps if the entire BG was set up in this same manner, with all sorts of images of Narnian characters in the BG with the Pevensies in the center on top of all these images (with the BG image being a bit more transparent, as they are now, and the Pevensies being translucent on top of the BG). Your images right now seem to be blended together pretty well. I also like the fact that you have a variety of image angles, which works really well. I personally like the cluster of all four Pevensies in the middle. Being the focus, it works to have their images be slighter larger than the rest and I think you made great choices on the four images. Nice work on this piece :ymapplause: , keep at it :) .
