Carrie’s been wanting to make something in the flavor of this very cool 8-bit Seuratesque Princess Peach. As a result, I’ve been playing around with pixelating various video game characters. I’ve struck upon a pretty cool one, though it needs a little work to get the colors all set.

This is besides the point. The point is that Kotaku linked this fantastic set from AlexanderSShen, who challenged himself to express noted game characters with a mere 25 pixels. The results speak for themselves and make my own modest attempts at larger format pixelations feel… lazy.

I think Sonic comes off particularly well. I have no idea who “Scarred” is, however. Enlighten me?

Update: Scarred = Sagat. Of course!
