Nerd Club Wallpaper

I made this as a wallpaper for our "nerd club" at school. We all play Halo Reach, so I used our player models. I opened up Photoshop CS4 and placed all of our characters in their respective positions. I then proceeded to create shadows of each character individually by copying the layer and darkening it. I created the light on the floor with the gradient and quick selection brush. I added a shadow to the monitor and put the lens flare on the eye for a nice effect. Lastly, the white logo in the corner was added for a professional look. It is a combination of the Assassin's Creed, Aegis Wing and Bungie challenge logos.
