Help with Blow Up Plugin/Sprites

Hello everyone,

I currently started a project and i am working on some sprites.

Alien Skin has a Blow Up plugin wich i can't use. I like the results of it sometimes and i have some characters wich i want filtered with plugin. Why? Well pixelated sprites look off with the fine looking sprites so i decided to use that plugin as characters have different sizes.

The blow up plugin actually makes them look good without you to notice the size change.
I have a few sprite sheets but, if someone is willing to help me out with it, i would be very greatfull.

I need PinkRanger resized to 250 x 250 and filtered with the blow up plugin. Can anyone support me with it?

My second question is if there are any good resizing methods without filtering sprites?

Here is the Sprite Sheet.

I use Rotationsprite. + major spriting edit (mostly for important areas, face...)

Also it depends on the level of scalling.
I allow scalling to 130% otherwise, sprites can be really ugly and unconsistent.
Good luck.

250x250 is pretty big, are you sure that's how big you want it?

Do you have reference sprite for what size she needs to match?

That looks good man. Thanks for the effort but, I prefer the DS sprites.

My idea was actually using the Alien Skin Blow Up plugin for this. Some don't prefer this but, if characters have different sizes they actually look like HD and pixelated sprites dissapear. I actually want this for all 8 sheets I have.

Here are some examples I found wich I can show as examples.

Oh wow! those look pretty cool. Looks like it matches styles that normally don't go together.

On a side note, I'm having trouble SHRINKING with rotsprite. For whatever reason anything i try only results in even bigger sprites. :/
Any ideas guys?

@SaintJudas - 0.500000 would be 50%

@omega - so you wanted to match red ranger size before enlarging them both again?

RotSprite at 130% of the whole sheet will get her to match, then resize them both as you wish with this plugin.

Yes indeed, i have to enlarge them but, it has to look less pixelated.

I also have another urgent question for support. I started my game project and I have a select screen idea in mind.

I need bg cutted out of real character images and make them fit in these boxes:

8 characters in total.

Those are the images:

(wichone fits better)

I have two more characters but, I will see if I can find good images for them. So I thank anyone who helps me with this. All i need is BG cut off and make them fit in the slots for a select screen i'm working on. I am very bussy but any small help keeps me motivated.
