well it's real simple. I turned this



into this



in about 10 seconds.

you just open the image you want to pixelate up in photoshop and go to the filter menu, then pixelate, then mosaic. Select the size of the blocks you want and there you go.
With images like the above you might want to duplicate the layer a few times because it's an easy way of firming up the outer line (it can get a bit faded thanks to transparency). The fast way to do that is ctrl+j. Then after you're happy with the image select the top layer and press ctrl+alt+shift+e . This will make a new layer out of everything visible.

Make sure you make the underlying layers invisible then if you feel like it go to image, adjustments, brightness/contrast and mess around with the settings until you have it how you like it. There you go!

This is very handy for backgrounds in retro-style images or if you draw something freehand and then want to pixelate it. It's good to get the shape of an object with a bit of shading and then you can go in and add the details pixel by pixel if you're so inclined.

In it, voted 5.

I like the first best, mostly because of the right angle on the others' necks.

nvm no cake

#1. The second one looks like it has a disease. Also, I see the weird neck angle on #2 and #3 and now I can't unsee it

I think I like #3 best, but just for the heck of it here's another option to throw into the mix that sort of blends elements from each:

I know I already asked for one but I was thinking maybe I didn't get one because I didn't say anything about stuff I like so just in case that's why I like flashy or sparkley stuff and also I really like star trek thank you anyone who takes the time.
As per request of "Not my real dad" forum dad Hogge WIld, I gimped up a sig for you. I saw you requested sparkly and star trek, so I did my best copying an image of a (the best) Enterprise captain and added stars. Here you go:

Also if someone could do me up a sig that would be great. Something sufficiently spoopy for the season and Doom-inspired (OG or Nu-, doesn't much matter to me) would be wonderful.

do it

Thanks, I like that one too! Hogge Wilde I know you'll read this I appreciate that greatly but I sure hope you didn't feel the need to do that! I wasn't sad about the sig or anything I just thought it would be fun to have one.

son i've been photoshopping dogs all night; you get me the dog and the location and i get you a dog sig

unless of course you don't want a photoshopped dog and instead you want a painted dog, perhaps, in which case I will fade back into the shadows

also, the calvin & hobbes byob sig I made doesn't feel right for me, so anyone who wants to use it, feel free to take it

Looks like I don't know how to type on my phone sometimes.

I can't decide. No cute eye looks better overall I think but the cute eye makes it cute and otherwise it's not. I'm glad that the reason I failed to make good llama pixel art is that it's bizarrely difficult.

I decided to fire up the ol' Photoshop and do up myself a sig that I had asked for later. What ya'll think?
