do you know anyone who is really good @ 8bit imaging

[Journer]

i'm wanting to create a personal website with a super mario bros theme and iwas wondering if anyone on here does or knows someone who does good 8bit imaging (or is it 16...whatever the hell its called) or do you know of a website that specializes in that style of imaging?
thanks

Just take a normal image, then downconvert it to 8 bits and decrease the resolution to match the NES's resolution.

like i care... -_-....

91TIZ: i can see how that would work...but i need a whole site designed like this...also..i'm wanting to convert real people into 8bit style characters...kind of like ppl on ebay will take ur image and make u into a southpark character...i know it cant be too complicated with 8bit...but still, would be neat

16 bit but still good info

8 bit is almost impossible to learn from someone
just make some sprite sheets and look at them close its harder than it looks but still doable

Take this for example:

Original Bill Gates pic

Reduced color palette and resolution

not a tutorial but a good example

are you looking for something specific? i mean, theres no easy way through this so read the derek yu thing like 10 times and then start grinding it out

theres no tricks or shortcuts on this one unfortunately

i dont want to learn..i want someone to create a site for me, lol

I'm not expensive, but for 200 I don't think you'll find anyone making costum sprites out of pictures.. Sorry, dude. As for the Bill Gates-pic, that's an easy effect.

do you do 16bit imaging? what is a fair price for a site such as this?
