Mistigram: when you split a walnut, the inside of the shell can resemble an #owl face. I expect that's why this #textmode composition by @illarterate, which won 3rd place in the 2023 #ATASCII art compo, is named "Walnut the Owl". It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0624 artpack collection.
In front of a forest scene, an owl's symmatrical face gazes wisely back at the viewer.

Mistigram: flee for your lives! An enormous, enraged mollusk prepares to dismantle eight skyscrapers simultaneously in this screen, "Attacktopus", drawn by @polyducks.bsky.social for last year's #ATASCII compo. This piece was included in the MIST-30 artpack celebration.
A colossal white octopus wraps its many tentacles around a cluster of skyscrapers about to have their seismic resistence sorely tested in a cloud of angry ink

We could do a joint collection! I have two silly anti-Commodore animations from the prolific ATASCII artist "Tim":

Plus a continuation of "Commando" for the Atari ST, also by Tim, but in VT-52!

Mistigram: this monochrome scene, promoting the fictitious 0300-HOT-BOTZ chatline, was drawn by @illarterate.bsky.social . It placed 6th in last year's #ATASCII competition, and was included in the recent MIST-30 artpack celebration.
A stylish female replicant with a look patterned after Pris in Blade Runner picks up a telephone receiver and converses with a more obviously mechanical android, whose ocular sensors pop out of their sockets.
