I started a C++ project to make a picture scaler; however I didn't feel like making a GUI, so I made it console-based. To preview the picture I've made a console bitmap displayer that currently supports 16bpp and 24bpp windows bitmaps. It doesn't scale anything yet, but the console-based pictures are so cool that I'm posting some of them here so your guys can check them out 
[attachmentid=14043]
that's one of the pictures that come with windows in some folder inside 'my images' or something like that. Using the highest screen resolution and reducing the screenshot size.

a protoss pylon in console mode!!

Holy crap, That is some kind of hardcore C++ programming.

awesome, i wonder if you could use something other than periods, i think there is a rectangle character. ▓ #178 <-- use that

It's pretty good, looks like a mosaic.
Gives me an idea to hold a contest for a Starcraft mosaic.

This is just the worlds greatest ASCII art generator... Or has potential to become one.

Well, here's my program. It's not finished yet (it doesn't scale pictures yet), but I've made some updates. Now it displays '·' characters too and not only '*'. Also you can modify some options from the dos console.
Get some cool pictures and post some cool screenshots
TIP: sprite-like / game-based / computer-drawn pictures work better than photos.
Edit:
TIP2: Click on the command prompt icon and go to 'properties'; there, in the 'font' tab select the 8x8 bitmap font for best view.
It wasn't so hard...
About the zealot head, do it yourself, here I attach the program
(btw, it doesn't scale anything, it's just that the dos console font is bigger than a pixel ;P)
I've already tried and it looks too much squareish; like when you zoom in a bitmap and you see the pixels. Astheriscs work much better
Thanks, but how could you make a contest? they are just bmps displayed on the dos console...
Btw, yeah, I didn't care about deleting the window bars with the paths... I don't care much anyway. If you wanted to know my name you could just ask me anyway...
I don't think so... I mean, all that it paints are '*' and now '·' too. It looks cool just because it has colors; but if you copy the text you lose all those colors, you only get astheriscs.
ADDITION:
UPDATE: More pictures:
[attachmentid=14062]
Pylon and photon cannon over snow
[attachmentid=14063]
A protoss stasis cell

It looks like it uses a lot more than 16 colors until you really examine it 
I thought you were using the Û, ░, ▒, and ▓ characters to give the illusion of different colors. Anyways, I guess it's pretty cool

Nice program.
Handy for making starcraft art for webpages.. *smacks himself on the head*
Why didnt i think of it before!!
