Apart from some tutorials on how to create really cheesy forum banners, I really havn't found that much on the web on the 'pixel-stretching' technique... it really doesn't seem to be all that popular. Although this does make it difficult for doing research, it has great potential as an unexplored area and hopefully I'll be able to create something new and diffirent.

Out of everything I've researched so far, this is probably the most interesting, a tutorial that shows how to use pixel stretching to create 3D Shapes. I found the technique used to change the perspective and distort the shapes very useful as its easy to stretch the pixels horizontally and vertically, but not diagonally - this very much helped with that. I still need to tackle the problem of curving the lines.

This was the final image outcome from the tutorial. The tutorial can be found here.
Someone who was inspired by the tutorial adapted the technique in after effects and created this short video:
