Hey Ninja. About the PM you sent me.
This is how the sprite would look if doubled in size.
Tell me if it's OK or if it's too big...You should also try testing this image through the PSP to see how the final product would look there.

Get back at me if anything.

UPDATE.............

This is what the sprite looks like when stretched to 1/2 size...I tried two diferrent programs and one of them gave me a darker sprite...Wich one would you like me to send you?

the half sized one

Yes, I know....light or dark? If you look closely they are a bit differrent, bacause I tested with two image altering programs....So, wich one is it, ninja?

Okay....here's the thing. Normally when you alter a sprite's size, if the size is not a solid quantity like say "double" or "X2" you end up getting a blotted sprite wich looks very, very ugly. This is the case with half size altering....SO, what I normally do is smooth out the sprite the least I can and clean up the un-welcomed residue borders...always happens. So, what I mean to say is...this will take a while so bear with me... The other thing you might do is make every sprite for the game doubled in size, so that you don't have to deal with this messy scenario everytime, for every sprite...what do you say?

Here's an example of what I'm talking about.

From left to right: regular sprite / 150% resize / 150% resize-smooth / 200% resize / 200% resize-smooth
