I put pixels in real photos (less words, more pics)
TheToiletDuck \| 3:45 PM on 08.04.2011	25 comments

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

Feedback is appreciated, especially comments like "eat a dick" and "what the fuck is this shit". This is probably a forum post, but meh what are you going to do.

Eat A Dick!

Oh wait, that's not right.

These are awesome dude!

Tarvu

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?!

Andy Butler

Maurice Tan

Dat pixels.

Gaidenrider

What the fuck is this shit? Eat a Dick

Chris Carter

Love it.

jjjenigma

I dig it

Bubble Bobble was amazing, and this post is amazing by association.

Corduroy Turtle

So we've reaching the point in the comments in which I demand more of these.

Awesome!

Takeshi

Love it man! Simple idea, great in execution. I think I can safely say: MOAR PLZ!

Noir

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:

Aurain

Sabiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin

Lelio

That's Megazord McDuck, it's okay.

Nic128

Fawk, this is awesome.

Andrew Kauz

These are great!

fulldamage

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!

Jaded

Haha those are pretty good!

princevaliant

Do you have any larger versions of these photos? They'd make great background images :-)

knutaf

You have a really great sense of humor that comes across very cleverly here. I too demand more of these!

Becca Roberts

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
