Character and Scene Stitching

I've been messing around "stitching" multiple frames from anime to create a full, high-res image. Not sure if this should be thrown in the Art section. Not really that special, as I didn't draw anything, I just pieced together a bunch of already drawn images.

I used Hugin, a panorama making program, and had to tweak a bunch of options to make it work with 2D art instead of camera photos.

Some images are easy, but many of them are are actually pretty difficult because of random particles flying around (like snow), differences in brightness/color, and movement.

The pic is of Nagi from Ep.1 of Hayate the Combat Butler (aka. Hayate no Gotoku!)
It's a little fuzzy because the source images were from a streaming video, and the edges are some sort of minor glitch from the blending.

If you just stack the images together without blending and whatnot, it doesn't look very nice:


Blend it properly, and it comes out pretty good:

I guess it really depends on the quality of the video you're taking it from. I've done this to a few scenes and just used MS Paint

The thing that I found a bit annoying to get to the exact frame you want on a looping sequence that pans over sections.

Still not sure why I'm into doing this, but here's another one.

This one also came out pretty good. Didn't want to chop off the foot more so I left the hard subtitle on there... Could always 'shop it out.


EDIT: Apparently imgur.com doesn't like fakku?

I also do that, I only edit when I feel like it though.

Strike Witches, Furry Magical Mecha Girls... That don't wear any pants.
