Help! I tried removing the blurriness of this Apu illustration using Gemini, it did the job (almost). But what I'm trying to do now is to keep the intentional aliased (jagged, pixelated) sharp edges like all those hand-painted Apu that was drawn in MS Paint, it can be done in Photoshop via limiting the color so that any greys near the lineart can be turned to #000000 and those various color artifact on the green are replaced to one color (e.g. #678d40). I kinda reverse-engineering the illustration but I don't have Photoshop myself. Can't be bothered with Gimp tho it's another curve to learn.
>>1552131The original image (it's already edited with the blurry filter). Even using various reverse image search, it didn't bear any results.
>>1552132another try with just Apu's seething face on Gemini but I can't really use it thanks to the introduced artifacts where I can simply use the paint bucket tool on MS Paint to recolor his skin, for example.
>>1552133that result was from this image of Apu seething.
notice that his tongue is missing in >>1552131 compared to the close up >>1552133. anyway, the paint bucket tool version that I'm trying to remake is like this original Apu, picrel. the line art is smooth but pixelated and jagged at 2 pixels wide and you can drop any color using the paint bucket tool and he'll be recolored instantly without those annoying transitional color artifacts, and the size is TINY, perfect for your endless Apu meme edits! :DD
>>1552134and I believe that this is the original for his eyes before the shouting mouth is drawn over.
>>1552139*dilated iris and teary eyes

>>1552150https://www.photopea.com/Use nearest neighbour I think it was
>>1552153the result sucks, it didn't give more options to change the colored pixel artifact to one single color.
>>1552155>it didn't give more options*shrugs*
>>1552158look at his mouth
>>1552158the jpeg artifact is still there. :/
>>1552164Some of his teeth are giant
>>1552174it's best to refer to this image here >>1552133 >>1552134 as that's the origin of his mouth
