I felt like trying my hand at putting pixel art in some real photos. I'm certainly not the first person to do this, and this is my first attempt so is a little shoddy. I tried to get away from using the standards you always see (Link, Space Invaders) though Mario did sneak in there. I used a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop. Illustrator is some kind of voodoo when resizing pixel art. I GIS'd the originals and got the sprites from Sprite Database

Eat A Dick!

Oh wait, that's not right.

These are awesome dude!
That's a rather interesting and diverse range of images that you've used! I don't recognise most of the pixels. :(
Love the Dr. Mario shrugging as if to say 'What? It's not my fault.'

Also I think the last one is expertly done.

Well executed Sir.

Sabin, I know you can suplex it, but what has that train ever done to you?!
HOW MANY MORE TRAINS MUST DIE?!
Awesome!
Dat pixels.
What the fuck is this shit? Eat a Dick

Fantastic work, btw
Love it.
I dig it
Bubble Bobble was amazing, and this post is amazing by association.
So we've reaching the point in the comments in which I demand more of these.

Awesome!
Love it man! Simple idea, great in execution. I think I can safely say: MOAR PLZ!
Sabin mistakes a train for the Phantom Train and flips it over, is now in jail for 50 years with no sign of release. What a shame Sabin, you saved the world just to fuck things up later on.
Scrooge McDuck is HUGE!!! D:
Sabiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin
That's Megazord McDuck, it's okay.
Fawk, this is awesome.
These are great!
Heheh, nice work! These are pretty great.

My only suggestion is that, maybe in the black and white images, it'd be okay to use some darker black values on the pixel guys to make them pop a little more - might just be my eyes, but it took me a second to spot them in each one.

Man, I just looked at the Mario one again and laughed a second time. Good stuff!
Haha those are pretty good!
Do you have any larger versions of these photos? They'd make great background images :-)
You have a really great sense of humor that comes across very cleverly here. I too demand more of these!
Ah these are fantastic :D I especially LOVE the Bubble Bobble one, it took me a while to see it and then I was like WOW, so cute!

More pleeese thx
