I decided I wanted one of those sick WoW icons by Blizzard as my avatar, so I found this neat trick to blow them up to bigger sizes without making them look absolutely horrid.
Basically, you paste the 64x64 into photoshop, make the image size 512x512, use the Accented Edges filter twice, maybe sharpen it a bit, and reduce the size to 128x128. Now for all the art-nazis out there, I'm not claiming any "artistic talent" with these works, just showing the newbies how easy it is to make a cool avatar out of their favorite WC3 icons. So don't bitch at me (it's happened before...)!
Now, my problem is, they still don't look as good as I woudl like them to look. I'm open for suggestions to get rid of the fat black blobs...
Oh, and I'm open to requests. And I know there's a lot of nice icons out there, but I need permission to make them! Any blizzard icon is fine though.
