A lean, green, buxom fishperson with long parted hair standing in a green wireframe world while wearing red glasses, earrings, and a tight red satin blouse, along with form-fitting black satin trousers, greets the visitor to their website with a smile and a wave of their hand, their other hand resting on their hip and their tail lifted. The text says: "The Green Herring: Art, Games and More! This site is intended for users 18 or over! Welcome to my domain, where you can find my artwork, games, music and more. What would you like to see today?" A showcase of high-density ANSI art and pixelart. It includes "Circus of Dreams", a long ANSI art comic/tapestry depicting a circus which won 3rd at Deadline 2024; a tapestry depicting Sparkster from "Rocket Knight Adventures" flying into space along with his portrait; a Sega Mega Drive/Gensis pixelart title screen of a furry mage in a field; a full-screen Game Boy portrait; and various high-detail and high-resolution ANSI art images that include a trans kangaroo woman relaxing happily at the beach, fennec/red panda streamer RachelRetro leaping through the air carrying a Twitch Verified symbol, and a mohawked punk skunk in a jumpsuit carrying a pogo stick in a forest of giant mushrooms. Various lower-resolution ANSI art images with such images as: a farmer pig playing the banjo while sitting on the rusted remains of a robot; an alien explorer and their drone observing the ruins of a domed city; Krampus marching through the countryside at night drawn with colored outlines; a polar bear dancing to a boombox in the arctic while another stares in confusion; alien creatures on an alien world by a river of bubbling acid; two clasping hands against a black background with trans pride nail polish; an otter in an underwater cyberspace environment swimming away from a gigantic computer displaying FTP messages; a raccoon lady in a wetsuit surfing through cyberspace; and the same raccoon surfing a detailed wave in the ocean.

Hey everyone, did you know you can just draw your sona whenever and however you want? I did the inset here on my phone at work, turned it into full-sized art the weekend after, and got myself a very Gender outfit along the way! Enjoy! :3 [1/2]

In this piece of 16-color 6-bit RGB pixel art, a green masculine-bodied fishperson with red eyes stands with one hand on their hip and the other gesturing toward themselves with a smirk, with their fish tail lifted and curled. They have long hair that is short on the left side with the right side falling over their head, and are wearing red glasses and rectangular earrings, a choker with a red medal on the front, an oversized deep-red V-neck t-shirt tucked into a long black pleated skirt with pockets, long fishnet gloves and stockings, and red slip-on shoes with black trimming. They are standing in front of an abstract background consisting of a flowing aura in the colors and arrangement of the stripes in the genderfluid pride flag: pink, white, purple, black and blue. This image is surrounded by a black rectangular frame with the aura continuing on all sides. Attached to the upper-right corner of the frame is a tiny and simplistic version of the same image with a flat-colored, featureless version of the fishperson standing in the same pose in front of the stripes of the genderfluid pride flag displayed at an angle. It is signed "TGH! 2025" and has the address "TheGreenHerring.NeoCities.org" written in the corner.

At a local bar, two genderfluid shapeshifters assuming feminine forms while wearing glasses and dresses are at the counter. One of them is a smiling green fishperson with a long and thick tail, wearing red-rimmed glasses in a red side-slit dress with black rubber straps, trimming and corset; long red gloves with black trims; and red thigh-high boots with black trimming and instep as well as exposed ankles and toes. The other person is a small, smirking, golden fennec fox with antennae, a black jewel in their forehead and a massive bushy tail, as well as black fur on their arms and legs suggesting gloves and stockings, and a tuft of black fur on their chin. They are wearing blue-rimmed glasses, a blue collar, a long blue dress, gold bracelets and anklets, and gold rings on their fingers and toes. The fish is resting one hand on the counter and beckoning the viewer with their other hand as they pull up a stool for the viewer to sit on using their tail; while the fox is sitting on the counter propped up with one arm and the other resting on their raised knee, their skirt falling over the edge.

In the heart of the evil empire, #Sparkster faces off with #AxelGear, who murdered his foster father 10 years ago. Will Sparkster finally have his revenge?

#RocketKnightAdventures #Art #FurryArt #ANSIArt #TextmodeArt #PixelArt #FanArt #Furry #ロケットナイトアドベンチャーズ #ケモノ #イラスト #ドット絵 #二次創作 #ファンアート
In this piece of 16-color textmode art, two armored opossum men with jetpacks and swords are fighting to the death in a starship. Sparkster, clad in blue armor and an aviator's helmet, defends against Axel Gear, wearing magenta armor, an angular knight's helmet and a scar on his face. Axel has had his sword strike blocked and is now using both arms to try to push Sparkster's sword away, while Sparkster holds him back with one arm. Seen from an oblique angle, the two men, locking eyes, hover with their blades one slip away from a fatal blow, their only company the tall starship windows that stretch off into the distant darkness; and the stars, plasma and asteroids of space seen through them.

Long ago, #Bubsy was a mascot platformer hero for the ages, until he lost it all in the 3D era. Now he's back in #Bubsy4D, and this time, he's truly the cat's meow!

#FurryArt #FanArt #ANSIArt #TextmodeArt #PixelArt #Art #Furry
In this piece of 16-color textmode art, Bubsy, an orange, slender, cyan-eyed cartoon bobcat man wearing only an open white dress shirt and a red necktie with a white line implying an exclamation point, sits in an alien world on his hip, his legs sprawled to the side, smirking at the viewer. A collection of red, cyan and black yarn balls sits behind him, and cyan yarn wrapped around his arms and his chest, which he grips with both hands, with one hand raised and the other on the ground. He sits on red dirt next to multi-colored grass with thick blades, and in the background is a range of red mountains with cyan tops and cyan plants including a spherical tree. The cyan sky is filled with swooping, painterly clouds, with a red planetoid floating among them.

A traveler pauses to take in the beauty of nature. Also, he's an Umbreon.

#FurryArt #PixelArt #EGA #Pokemon #Umbreon #FanArt #Furry #DigitalArt #Art
In this piece of high-resolution 16-color pixel art, an anthropomorphic Umbreon from Pokémon has walked down a forest path at night and stopped to look at a butterfly that has landed on his finger. The Umbreon is a black feline creature with long ears; glowing yellow rings on his ears, forehead, biceps, thighs and tail; and digitigrade legs. He is wearing a heavy purple cloak with the hood down, and one side of the cape draped over his raised shoulder revealing one side of his clothing, purple with white trimming. He is seen with a sleeveless mesh shirt cut below the pecs, a glove with a mesh sleeve, long shorts, and an open-toe boot with a mesh sock. His shorts appear to have been cut in one side to reveal the ring on his thigh. He stares at the butterfly with solid red slit eyes and a contemplative expression, as small creatures watch him from the trees with only their eyes visible in the darkness. The dirt road and the bushes on both sides lead away from him into darkness, with mountain ranges and the starry night sky visible in the distance.

#FebROOary is here, so here's a kangaroo sunbathing on the beach. Her name is Cynthia Kane (she/her), and she's happy to see you!

#Art #ANSIArt #FurryArt #PixelArt #TextmodeArt #ドット絵 #Furry #Textmode
At the beach, a green-eyed, red kangaroo woman with brown and white fur lays on a magenta towel laid on the sand. She has long, brown hair and is wearing a one-piece magenta swimsuit. She is laying on one hip while propping herself on one elbow, relaxing her other arm on her other hip while tapping her outer thigh with one finger, and stretching out her leg to show off its length and strength. Her fingers have claws on each tip, and she has long kangaroo feet with three toes and thick claws on the tips. She looks at the viewer with a self-satisfied smile appreciating the attention she's getting.

A protogen warrior rendered in glorious CGA cyan-magenta! Why? Because I wanted to, that's why! [1/2]

#FurryArt #PixelArt #CGA #Protogen #Art #Furry #Retro
In a piece of four-color pixel art with a high-contrast palette, a protogen, a species of cyborg alien, soars through the air with their arm and knee forward and their other arm reared back, preparing to stab something with their sharp claws. The protogen, drawn in flat colors, has the appearance of a furred reptile with a face consisting of a shaped electronic display that shows a simple, smiling and determined facial expression. Their hair is a long stalk that is blown back by their movement, they appear to be wearing angular chest armor with pauldrons bearing ring patterns, their digitigrade legs are metallic with bulbs on the sides and furred forelegs, and their tail has fur missing in patches revealing its metal shell. They are outlined against an abstract background of an aura drawn with many long lines, implying the protogen is descending at high speed toward their target.

In a piece of 16-color pixel art, a fuzzy red catperson with yellow slit eyes in a dress floats through cyberspace giving a peace sign with an open-mouthed smile. They are wearing purple earrings, a choker, a small black dress with gold trimming, and arm and leg warmers with black and yellow stripes. They have long white hair tied into a long ponytail using a large purple bow with lengthy ribbons. They are surrounded by a bright cyan aura, and streaks of dark and bright one-pixel lines implying their movement.

Gray text asks, "Did you miss anything?..." Below, a smirking black cartoon cat man made of text characters with yellow block eyes lays in front of an empty milk glass, a plate with crumbs, and a nearly-melted candle. He has short hair on top with red, green and white streaks. This sight is lit in the darkness by the candlelight, which the cat is about to put out with the pads on his fingertips. Under this is the message, "See you again soon, and happy holidays!"

#FurryArt #Furry #SciFiArt #SciFi
In a city at night, a throng of people with animal features files into a huge, red and white-striped circus tent with two peaks. Inside the circus tent, a smiling ringtail person in a green leotard, wearing green gloves, thigh-high boots and bands on their tail, walks across a tightrope while holding a long wooden balance pole, with a massive audience watching below. From the stage beneath the tightrope, a white skunk with a red mohawk, singlet and bracelets juggles red and white checkered balls. As the audience watches, a raccoon with long red hair and a blue dress dances with their hand gripping and pulling a line of light they are drawing in the air with a plasma pen. In the circus audience, a muscular rabbit and a slender squirrel cheer with raised arms. As the satisfied audience leaves the circus tent, the muscular rabbit, in a blue tank top and white trousers, and the slender squirrel, in a cropped blue t-shirt and side slit skirt, hold hands as they walk, looking into each other's eyes.

Over a big red heart symbol, a rabbit and a squirrel with blue hair and clothes kiss under mistletoe with their eyes closed. The rabbit is white-furred, muscular and masculine, with long parted hair, hands on the squirrel's shoulders, and a muscle shirt. The squirrel is golden-furred and slender, with long messy hair; wears blue eyeshadow, a choker and a t-shirt; and is resting a hand on the rabbit's chest. To each side is written the number 20.

In front of an abstract transgender pride flag background, on a platform colored with the trans pride stripes, a skunk man in techwear stands with his hand on one hip smiling at the viewer. He has a long spiky mohawk that runs down his back and falls over the side of his head. He is wearing thick red earrings on both ears, a red shrug with white trimming that reveals his top-surgery scars, baggy red cargo pants with white trimming on the pockets and legs, and red spats attached to white soles. Next to him is a view of his messy back fur, revealing that his shirt is cut in the back to let it through, and that his waistband goes over his skunk tail. Next this is a bust of the skunk man, still smiling at the viewer, with his mohawk falling on the other side and his fur patterns shown in greater detail.

They are sitting on an ornate chair made of bright, curvy lines that they have drawn in the air using a pen, partially seen in the mirror's reflection. They are sitting in this chair with one knee lifted, their foot resting on the front rail, and one hand lifted holding the pen from which the lines making up the chair originate. They have long red hair, red eyes and eyeshadow, and are dressed in blue, wearing a tight-fitting leotard under a ruffled side-slit dress along with long gloves and thigh-high boots.

A hips-up selfie taken by a slender trans civet lady in front of a trans pride flag hanging on a wall with text on it that reads, "Trans Rights Are Human Rights". She has medium-length kinky hair, orange eyes, round silver glasses, and an open-smouthed smile. She is wearing a cropped orange hoodie and cargo shorts over a black bodysuit with a zipper in the front, and their tight fit shows she is buxom and does not tuck. She is holding her phone with her right hand, and posing with her left arm raised giving a peace sign and pushing her chest inward. She has lifted her thick tail under the flag, showing its dark stripes and tip as well as the strip of long hair running along the top. In the upper corner, some stylized orange text identifies her as Dr. Eniiyi Adebayo, and text colored like the trans pride flag gives her pronouns as she/her.
