I once tried to do this but the outcome was quite shitty. You can get some kinda Mortal Kombat style stuff by shrinking the image using Image Size in Photoshop with "nearest neighbour".
Shrinking with NN then Expanding with NN works pretty well. If I remember rightly it works a lot better if you start with your image with dimensions of a multiple of 4, and keep reducing the size by 50% with nearest neighbour.
Here's one example I just knocked up:
Because of the pattern in the jacket it ends up coming out quite warped. If I'd manipulating the pattern on the jacket and evened it out a bit and removed the contrast in the pattern it would probably work out quite well.
