I was bored and had this picture on file for the pokemon comparison thread so I decided to whip something up. This is my first. If you like it let me know. Also, what is a good resource for high res images of progamers? Enjoy.
edit:title is supposed to say baby fans.

There's quite a bit of choppiness between BaBy and the rest of the wallpaper(the main pic of his him on the right). Something to make him "blend in" more, that wouldn't make it look like it was fitted in in paint, would be nice(I.E. a blurr or something, different colour background, etc). Not trying to be a dick, but just some criticism 
The image of him on the left looks much better IMO. Also, if this is meant as a wallpaper, most people use 1680x1080 or 1280x1024 or something for their resolution, so maybe make it appeal to those as well? It is somewhat squarish.

thanks. I was having in mind a minimalist desktop user (2-3 icons) since its quite messy piece. Kinda like a mid 90s pop art or something. It is in fact 1280x1024. I'll try a sleaker look next time, maybe for flash since he's a pimp.

Oops I think I meant 1280x720 then. Oh well, looking forward to Flash!

I was trying to look for something positive to say but I couldn't spot anything that was good. That may sound harsh but that is what I think about it. Bad color mix, cheap grain/whatever filter, horrible stroke at the edges of the front part, horrific glow too, weird saturation and color contrast, sloppy cut-out, bad typography (a graffiti font can be cool, but not like this), there's no balance in the left and right side which just makes it look imbalanced overall.
I could have sugarcoated it but I won't, people didn't do that when I started using PS either and it helped me get better. I was trying to look for something that was not bad and you could improve on but couldn't quite find anything. However, keep on practising, it's the only way to get remotely decent at gfx.

To put it bluntly: It looks really ugly.
To go more in depth, the best place to start would be to do a better job on the cut-out picture of Baby. He looks really... Over-contrasted and orange.
Over all it just lacks flow and style. Very, very chaotic and choppy.

I'm not going to lie, it looks like his left index finger was severed.

Holy christ that terrible. You made him a jaundiced Kim Jong Il and then turned up the contrast to maximum just to make it look even worse. And then there's the blue/green half-circle thing that you did in Paint apparently.
I suggest a college course in photoshop or at the very least a pair of glasses :/

The quality of the wallpaper aside, there's one thing that bothers me.
Who the hell would put a wallpaper of some 14 year old nerd named baby on his desktop?!
Yes I'm a starcraft fan and yes I think baby plays good, but NO I won't ever put him on my desktop rofl?!
