Welcome to Bellito's Ditherguins! Here, you can get flashy avatars just like mine (you may choose animated or not). All you need is a color picture of your penguin (photo appointments available on weekends).

Fun fact: The "dither" in Ditherguins refers to the process which renders an image in 1-bit black-and-white. The dithering algorithm used here is called the Atkinson's algorithm. It was invented for old B & W Macs running System 7 way back when.

Rare item helpers: I am looking for some penguins who have old items to help in Redressed photos. If you have any of the following items, you qualify as a rare item helper:


Christmas scarf
Beta hat
Propellor Cap
Pink hat
Green hat
Black Toque
Red guitar (I passed up my chance to get it :( )


In progress:
-Nobody


Please note that dithered images are gentle on the eyes and do not appear overly flashy or epileptic when animated. They are 100% safe!

Order form:

-Select photo method:
—By appointment: Your picture will be taken on a weekend by me.
—Self: Provide your own image
—Redressed: Specify an outfit and I will do my best to match it (I've got lots of clothes.)

-Select Style:
—Animated: Animated avatar that flashes between the color shot and dithered image.
—Dither only: Dithered 1-bit image in black-and-white.
—Special: One of these chosen at random.

-Dithering options
—Sharpen: Preserves some of the depth in the image (my avatar does not use sharpening.)
—Contrast: Minor tweaks to the image contrast (my avatar does use the contrast.)


-Additional Options (only available with certain styles/photos)
–Speech/Emotes (for Self and Redressed photos)
—Specify an emote or speech for your penguin. You may ask for a pin as your emote. The oldest pin I have is the mining lamp. (I am missing a couple)
–Redressed
—Specify an outfit for the penguin here.

Examples!

Go ahead and post one now. It will be done shortly.

Just specify if you would like animation, no animation, or you don't care. (The one in my avatar is animation style.)
