This started out as a simple 100X100 thing and then I decided to make a background for it. I'm tired of fiddling with the shadows and lighting obsessively so this is probably done enough for me for now.

Edit: Going with Manupix's suggestion I blended the shadowing a bit more, making it look more like a spotlight, and made the earth less contrasting in comparison to the characters while moving it closer to reduce some of the split-effect in the composition(Although I kinda liked that look since it felt like box art that needed a logo). Original version can be found on my tumblr still.

Ah, yes, Earthbound.  The play of light and shadow here is beautiful, as is the way you faded from light into dark in the backdrop.  The only thing I notice that might need improved on is the group shadow, which has some spotty AA over on the far left - but that's a nitpick, and the rest of the piece is excellent.  I'll have to look at more of your work.

I've never played the game, but I hate Ness because whenever my brother comes over and plays Brawl he plays as Ness. I just think of him as an enemy.
Good picture, though.

Why must you keep me obsessing over its perfection? XD I personally liked the high-contrasting world, but I'll see what I can do to blend more of the lighting and shadows with each other.

Lovely! Great colors =)

Overall composition issues:

Earth is too bright / contrasted and keeps pulling the eye away from the group.
Group shadow might be too detailed on the left side too. It could maybe merge with a general darkening of the ground.
