What are you working on today?

Posting my first project here:
I'm in the process of converting .pdf formatted cards into 600dpi .tif and .jpeg files. I'm doing EVERY card HQ-wise, aside from the character sheets, character cards, and chaos spell tokens.
I have to give credit to StratosVX for the .pdf's and ChaoticPrime for the info on converting them. It's a tedious process, but I've got the Ogre Horde and Frozen Horror cards done... so far. I'll be posting these for everyone when I'm finished, obviously. I just hope I'm doing everything correctly. This is my first time manipulating .pdf files in Photoshop, both of which I know hardly anything about.

These sprites look spot on IvenBach--so nice!

The don't just look they are spot on. I did them from the sprites themselves. Loaded them into the mighty mspaint zoomed in and went to work.

...and where it's from.

Video games! Boom!

I believe he missed the point entirely, however technically correct you may be.

What I really like about them is that they are magnetic and aren't glued to the wall. If you look to the left of the blue sprite (still gotta guess or know what it is) in the bottom row you can see dots. Those are the magnets I glued to the wall so my sprites can be detachable. I can now place them on the fridge and admire them. I put together a lakitu and will be getting him up soon enough. It's my goal to get that entire wallspace done with sprites. It'll be me driving force to get painting done while reminiscing about the good ol' 8bit days, seeing as how it's the wall I look at while painting .

I also made my wife a plant that never needs watering but she took it to work. Just like the one below

I don't mean to burst your bubble but unless these PDF's are already 600 dpi, there's not much point in turning them into another format that's 600 dpi (which might be the case, I don't recall the Ye Olde Inn ones to be that high but maybe StratosVX's are?). Whilst you might be creating files with 'more resolution', you're not creating files with more information than what you're starting with (unless you've got some wizzbang fractal upscaler thingie). To create files 600 dpi files which contain more information, you need to scan things from scratch.

Oh.... oh well.

While it's been up for a while, I'm referring to the sprites in the following image, I haven't shared it with anyone. I've still got more to get put up. Bonus points if you can name every sprite and where it's from.

I see Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 2/Lost Levels, Super Mario 3, Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest/Warrior.

I loved Dragon Warrior!

As a HUGE Mario fan, this brought a tear to my eyes. Stunning! I want that caped Mario. xD Very well done. <3 nintendo.

Send them flowers and a picture of you in a sexy nightie...

Please no. I don't want a picture of an orc in a nightie... I don't have any more yellow for a second Mario. I'll eventually get more and will try not to forget to make you one. If I could find some good sprites I'd make some, shall I daresay it, HeroQuest ones for Sjeng? The sprites from the game don't do it justice.

I don't get how anyone I know has never heard of Dragon Warrior. All my friends are clueless. But they knew the Mario ones. Sad they didn't even know Zelda claiming they never even played it... Such deprived childhoods.

Nobody gets to sit in the yard with a stick anymore, goddamnit.
