You'll probably want to have a look at the kind of

editing/conversion tools that are used in the C64 demoscene. The C64's
palette is pretty limited, and making use of the screen borders
effectively requires some trickery, but if you're willing to work within
the machine's constraints you can get surprisingly good results.
http://c64pixels.com/ has plenty of examples, but I'd also recommend
watching some of the more popular C64 demos to see the kind of graphics
The c64pixels site shows me that what I want is not only possible, but it may be possible
to get better results than I was expecting. I've been aware of the demoscene for
years, but never really paid any attention to it.
For me another option might be an Amiga, as it should be able to easily do what I want,
but the C64 seems like the more appropriate solution, especially since I already have it
setup where I'd need to use it.
