Use the free ImageMagick tools to make your own punks.

Let's make punk #7804 - a super rare alien with a capforward , smallshades and a pipe from scratch:

$ magick convert alien-male.png \
                 capforward.png \
                 smallshades.png \
                 pipe.png \
         -background none -flatten punk7804.png

Now open up the new punk7804.png. Enjoy your million-dollar punk look-a-alike. Yes, it's a 100% true authentic pixel copy original.

Zooming In - 2x, 4x

Scale up the image by doubling the pixels (that is, use the -filter point option). Let's try 2x (that is, 200%):

$ magick convert punk7804.png \
         -filter point -resize 200% [email protected]

And 4x (that is, 400%):

$ magick convert punk7804.png \
         -filter point -resize 400% [email protected]

Why stop? Let's add a smile !

$ magick convert punk7804.png \
                 smile-alien.png \
         -background none -flatten punk7804_smile.png

2x, 4x:

Try the natural version :

2x, 4x:

Let's try the green (120°) variant. Let's make - a super rare alien with a capforward , smallshades and a pipe from scratch:

                 smallshades.png \
                 pipe.png \
         -background none -flatten punk7804_120.png

2x, 4x:

Or 150° - alien-male_150.png:

2x, 4x:

Let's make punk #2890 - another super rare alien with a cap from scratch:

$ magick convert alien-male.png \
                 cap.png \
         -background none -flatten punk2890.png

2x, 4x:

Try the natural version :

2x, 4x:

Let's try the red (0°) variant. Let's make - a super rare alien with a cap from scratch:

$ magick convert alien-male.png \
                 cap_0.png \
         -background none -flatten punk2890_0.png

2x, 4x:

Or try the blue (240°) variant - cap_240.png:

2x, 4x:

Or let's make a (light skintone) human punk with a red (0°) cap and a smile from scratch:

$ magick convert human-male_light.png \
                 cap_0.png \
                 smile.png \
         -background none -flatten human_light.png

2x, 4x:

Or try the dark skintone variant - human-male_dark.png - with a green (120°) cap - cap_120.png:

2x, 4x:

Let's make a doge punk - a super rare alien with a headband from scratch:

$ magick convert alien.png \
                 headband.png \
         -background none -flatten doge3100.png

2x, 4x:

Or let's make a zombie with a knitted cap from scratch:

$ magick convert zombie_notop.png \
                 knittedcap.png \
         -background none -flatten doge2066.png

2x, 4x:

Or let's make a classic with a 3d glasses from scratch:

$ magick convert classic.png \
                 3dglasses.png \
         -background none -flatten doge_3dglasses.png

2x, 4x:

And so on. Yes, you can.

Use the free ImageMagick tools to script special effects (on the command line).

Let's start with a "plain vanilla" punk, that is, #2890 and let's use the 4x (96×96) version and turn it into a captioned polaroid-like photo:

$ magick convert punk2890x4.png \
          -gravity center -set caption "Punk #2890" \
          -caption '%c' \
          -border 5x5 \
          -bordercolor AliceBlue -background black  +polaroid \
          polaroid2890.png

And let's try some more:

Let's start with a "plain vanilla" punk, that is, #2890 and let's use 2x magnified (48×48) version using a (smooth) pixel art scaling algorithm¹):

Note¹: ImageMagic uses the scale2x algorithm

$ magick convert punk2890.png \
          -magnify \
          [email protected]

And doubling again (4x):

$ magick convert punk2890.png \
          -magnify -magnify \
          [email protected]

And doubling again (8x):

$ magick convert punk2890.png \
          -magnify -magnify -magnify \
          [email protected]

And let's try some more:

Power Tip - Let's retry with the high quality scale (hqx) pixel art scaling algorithm family in the 2x, 3x and 4x variants.

Note: A free ImageMagick tools installation gets you a copy of ffmpeg. Let's try:

$ ffmpeg -i punk2890.png \
          -filter_complex hqx=2 \
          [email protected]

And 3x:

$ ffmpeg -i punk2890.png \
          -filter_complex hqx=3 \
          [email protected]

And 4x:

$ ffmpeg -i punk2890.png \
          -filter_complex hqx=4 \
          [email protected]

And let's try some more:
