Saw this submitted on Digg, but didn't make it to the front page:

Thought he had some great ones on there, but thought maybe you guys could come up with some more and we can post the best ones plus the originals on the front page to give them some more attention.

These aren't that difficult to do...here's one I just whipped up:

Hardest part is finding a good image to do the editing on.

Here's another:

And one more:

I hate JPEG file format...takes one color and turns it into 100....I'll have to reupload these as GIFs sometime.

Those are pretty close to high res....the images i was using to modify weren't very high res (because i suck at finding pictures).
I changed the files up there to the GIF ones. I think they're better as GIFs. When I have some time tomorrow I'll try to do other ones with higher quality pictures....if anybody has a good source for high quality pictures...tell me.

Here's a Mario one. This one took the longest.

For this one I think I might try pulling out all th eland sprites (bricks, w/e) and just putting the enemies and coins on items that are part of the plumbing to make them merge better. Idk.
