I was wondering if there was a way to pretty much make a SVG layer in Gimp. You could use this so that you could resize the image to, say 32 x 32 pixels, but be able to have a drawing that you scanned to you computer as a background layer in Gimp that could also be resized down to about 32 x 32 pixels but it would not become pixelated? This way you could make pixel art over that layer. Hope you understand all that  Thank you! |

Try InkScape?
If I'm undestanding what you want, you can:
1) Load in a picture
2) Trace over it with any sort of vector graphic you want
3) Scale it down to 32x32 pixels
But maybe I'm misinterpreting your desires.

I think he wants to take his concept drawing, trace it with vectors, then make a pixel art image over that at 32x32. |

Ok, so modifying my steps:
InkScape
1) Load in a picture
2) Trace over it with any sort of vector graphic you want
3) Scale it down to 32x32 pixels
4) save .svg
GIMP
4) load in .svg
5) create pixelart
6) Profit

Gimp immediately converts the .svg to its internal rasterized pixel format, but yeah, it can do that. |

A picture is worth a 1000 words, so naturally they save a lot of time.

I'm kinda confused now, Fallsburg's steps would pretty much do anything you would need it to do anyway...It's going to become pixels no matter what...

Yah I know it would now, that's why I was asking just to see if the was anything like this... I guess the closest I could get to this would be to just have the image side by side, though I wont be able to trace. |

I think what he wanted is that although you've scaled down the image to 32x32, when you zoom in, you still see the original detail, even though the pixels you are drawing over it are huge. Basically, an alignment guide, not part of the output image.
