With the terminal rendering code on hand I just had to try my hand at rendering a Mandelbrot set. Love fractals. ❤️ #fractal #fractals #asciiart #rendering #graphics
A fractal coloured in vivid rainbow (HSL). Drawing using block ascii art in a terminal.

Mistigram: a memorable experiment in 3D newschool ##ASCIIart, this is VileR's logo for his loader-cum-website at int10h.org/blog , included three years ago this month in the MIST0223 artpack collection.
Swooping, swooshing pointed letters reading int10h.org stand up like a relief sculpture, composed themselves of still smaller letters and punctuation marks.

Mistigram: What's the buzz? This bustling scene of hive life was drawn in #ASCIIart by @adelfaure.bsky.social and included in the MIST0223 artpack released three years ago this month.
A swarm of flying, stinging insects scurry around a cell of their home structure, manufacturing sweetness and rearing the next generation.

Char's Counterattack is available to view on the GundamInfo channel, so it's as good a time as any to post this #asciiart #gundam 4-koma I made for it:
A 4-koma (4-panel comic) of the climax of the film Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack drawn in ASCII art using the DOS game creation system ZZT. Read like the letter Z from left to right, we see a comically abridged version of Char (in his capsule) and Amuro's (in an ASCII Nu-Gundam (the yellow slashes are funnels)) final dialogue before they go full Newtype and stop Axis from crashing into Earth. It all ends with Beyond the Time, as it should.

Mistigram: this fabulous coloured #ASCIIart / #ANSIart vignette from the fairy tale #JackAndTheBeanstalk was drawn by @ascii.mozz.us and included in the MIST-30 30th anniversary artpack collection released slightly over a year ago. (Another beanstalk scene was included in IMBIBE01!)
A tiny figure climbs to the top of a curly beanstalk, where a castle is visible on a nearby cloud.

Bakery's open. #ansiart #asciiart #catloaf #zzt
ASCII art of several cats loafing on shelves, done using the DOS game creation ZZT. From top to bottom, left to right: tabby, colourpoint, dark grey, black and white catloaves with their eyes closed. Coat colours are limited by the text mode 16-colour palette.

Mistigram: this distinctive #ANSIart/#ASCIIart scene of a screaming lotus-eyed face looming above a cyber boxdrawn cityscape, "Amongst Mechanically Organic Lines", was made by Mavenmob and included in the MIST-30 30th anniversary artpack collection released slightly over a year ago.
A giant ghostly head is tossed back in despair, eyes overwritten by giant colourful lotus blossoms, above and behind a nighttime cityscape on either side of an empty road running ahead into the horizon.

My first new piece of art for 2026 was the text file art for this demo, featuring my own version of the deer rendered entirely in plain ASCII. It was a lot of fun drawing this guy in (almost) nothing but punctuation! :3

#ASCIIArt #TextmodeArt #FurryArt #Art #Furry #ASCII #Textmode
A piece of ASCII art, drawn entirely with text and punctuation, of a deer man with long hair seen from the back, looking over his shoulder and flexing while fireworks go off in the sky. A message reads, "To all at rsync 2026: Happy New Year!" Credits go to Suule for "graphics and code", Gasman for "music and code", and to The Green Herring for "this ASCII".

Mistigram: this somewhat abstract rosy newschool #ASCIIart promo for the second issue of Quip's "Omlette" e-mag (electronic magazine) was drawn by plaZtik and included with our Mistigris World Tour stop with Fistful of Steel in the FOS-0197 artpack collection released 29 years ago this month.
A small round red face peers up over the edge of a large bubbly red ASCII art logo spelling out the letters OMLETTE in a very stylized way.
