Ever wanted to ask how I can make those graphics?

You will need the following tools
Paint.NET
Hawkynt's 2D - Image Filter Library

Add the .dll file you get on the Effects folder where you have Paint.NET installed.

Let's load a random graphic, for example npc-4.gif.

Now go to Image -> Resize

A window like the one below will appear.


Click By Percentage: and set it's value to 50.

Once you're done with that, go to Image -> Canvas Size...

A window like the one below will appear.


Click on By percentage: and set it's value to 200. Make sure the anchor is set on Top Left.

Next, go to Effects -> Tools -> 2D Image Filter

If 2D Image Filter doesn't appear. Add the .dll given on the second link.

A window like this one will appear.



Select XBR2x and voila. You have successfully converted your image.

Oh nice, I've always liked this kind of graphic. Seems really high quality. Pretty sure this is in the wrong forum, though.

The Median tool in Paint.NET does the same thing. I used that until I moved on to just redrawing sprites altogether as that looks much better.
