Anyone got a guide/manual/tutorial/etc for doing something like this? Say, for example, if I wanted to render in that "Take on Me" black and white sketch style (from Aha), or do something in some surrealistic colors. I played through stretch panic (Playstation 2) and the black & white sketch style has potentially inspired me for a novel effect in a game...
