I was thinking of a couple of options:

Crop it to height/width numbers that are divisible by 100x120 so that when you resize it, it will maintain the aspect ratio without any distortion. I noticed that this doesn't work for all images because of different sized pics.

Copy the artwork on the image onto a separate blank 100x120 template and resize the artwork on that template. I almost had it when I tried this but I was working with a transparent image and I didn't know how to resize.

I'm working with GIMP by the way, since I don't have Photoshop.

If you work with gimp, use the rectangle select tool and pay attention to the size in the "tool option" dialogue. Make sure that the height is 1.2 times the width (no need to be that strict though). Then go to Image > Crop to Selection. Hope that clear enough. You can do simple math in some of the dialogue in GIMP, so that'll help. Height/1.2 for Width, and Width*1.2 for Height. Play with it. :)

Then resize it like usual.

If GIMP had smart objects that would be the easiest method. That way you would create a 100x120 template, add the image to a smart object, then scale the image up/down any way you like. That's essentially what I do, before adding a final, subtle sharpen filter.

Also, not sure how it is on GIMP, but in PS to transform a layer it's Ctrl+T, and to keep proportions the Shift key can be used while scaling.

Could someone make an avatar out of Ganon in bottom middle (pig faced dude)?

Both normal and then cropped w/ a clear background?

Please, and thanks in advance.
I could only make a close up of his face. Hopefully someone else can make the transparent version for you:

Hi! If someone could make an avatar out of this it would be awesome. Dunno if it's possible to keep the background and just get the sega copyright out of the way, if not maybe transparent with the character and the ray of light would still be great.
