I'm interested in the same thing pretty much. Just how much artistic ability would I need? I was thinking of stretching the image using a simple filter (nearest neighbor or biliniar, depending on what seems most appropriate to the texture) and doing a lot of pixel tweaking, sharpening edges that should be sharpened, being creative to add detail in places that need it, and so on. That's the technique I used to get my avitar out of the old NES FF1 black mage and I don't think it turned out too badly. :happy: Of course, I'd try to add a little more color where appropriate. Hmm, guess I should just try it and see how it looks LOL.
