I’ve got to admit that I have a weakness for any design that contains big pixels. There’s a sort of retro allure that’s involved with the creation of these kinds of designs.
These particular pixelated cartoons are the creation of Ty Lettau.
To date, he’s created 696 characters from cartoons, movies, and video games, all rendered in that pixelated feel. Highlights include Star Wars, Alien, Final Fantasy, all sorts of superheroes and more.
It’s kind of amazing how easily you can recognize these pixelated characters, despite the relative lack of detail. It just shows you that your brain really doesn’t need much information to distinguish different characters.
