Then I saved it as a pattern, selected the shadow for Mario, and filled it with that new pattern. Then I just messed around with opacity for a bit until I got it as good as I could get it.

Man, there is a WAY easier way.

Just find pics of the characters, then make them into silhouettes (turn them black) then just make them semi-opaque.

Right. But I was trying to match them up with the characters on the wall that were already there. And they had a special color to their shadow (kind of a bluish purple hue) and I couldn't get it right with a color overlay or an adjustment layer (even with an eye dropper tool). I tried and tried.

Oh - and the desktop is on the way Canny

cant tell what the shadows are of... But you'll want to lighten up the opacity on them because shadows arent pitch black, you should be able to see thro them

The pictures supposed to be much larger. It's much easier to see the opacity on the larger image. But if you look closely at that one, you can still see it.
