maybe use another blp converter?  these converters are written by normal people like us so it's natural that it may not always work perfectly in all circumstances.

maybe if you change the image size to more normal blp size? like 1024x256 instead of the one you use of 1195x281 ? and you picture is jpg, not png.  maybe pixelation is cause by non 8pixel sized imaging proportion?

Like if I use your jpg image and change to png to size 1024x256 and convert blp, it work fine. , no strange look with blp viewer.

Using Photoshop BLP Plugin to view BLP File.

If you have photoshop, you can try to use Photoshop plugin to also save the image into BLP:

Best to make sure you use a pixel size of normal BLP like 16,32,64,128,256,512,1024.

Yes I use the plugin for photoshop but I think the problem and that the image is small. here is the image in normal size

ps : the images of my first message are only preview.

Use the BLPConverter program from wowinterface.com that I linked before.

In photoshop save out as a PNG-8 , and then use that converter to make blp from image.

Here Demonstration Video so you can see incase you do not understand fully.
