Title: I'm praying to the Vector Gods!
Post by: Rick on January 24, 2011, 10:12:03 am

Can someone help me out on what I believe to be a pretty simple project?  I have a very small image that I would like to blow up and print in as high a quality as possible, to go in my kids' toyroom, which is soon to be home for the cabinet I'm working on.  The best version of the image I can find is here:

I bought the shirt over at ThinkGeek.com (http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/glennz/bc59/), and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out.  I'm looking to print it out about 48" wide, so any help I could get would be greatly appreciated.  I tried in my graphics program, but everything gets really, really fuzzy.

Thanks in advance!

How's this??
Have a large size if you want it.

It's awesome!  I hope it didn't take too long to do!  (I actually thought people could just 'run it through' a program of sorts, and the 8-bit image would be in a different format.  I didn't expect you'd do a new pic from scratch!)  The one thing I noticed was the 3D reflection was cut off at the bottom - we're looking to put it in a frame, so if you have it with more of a 4:3 profile, I'd love to have it!  Thanks for that!

If anyone else is working on an 8-bit version - something that keeps the inherent blocky look, I'm happy to take that too!  (I only wish I had skills to do some of this on my own.)

You guys rock.  This is why this community is so amazing.  Thanks again.

Can you give me the exact frame size you're going to use?

I believe we're looking at a 24" tall x 36" wide frame.  Thanks again!

Or this one....

Note, the "Blocky" pics don't look so blocky scaled down.
The full size versions are much better.
