Mistigram: racking his brain for period food-themed art to adapt to #ANSIart in order to celebrate the new IMBIBE01 e-mag release of food-themed articles and captures from the turn of the century, Cthulu's mind went back to #DonHertzfeldt's Oscar-winning 2000 short #Rejected. #MySpoonIsTooBig! #IAmABanana!

Te quiero

Quiero que me extrañes

Quiero que me ames,

Quiero tanto de ti,

Que me hace sentir tan egoista.

Some ramblings How I made this underneath

I wanted to do an art piece that could be made in color like in old computer graphics which simple ASCII did not give, which is called ANSI (pretty much ASCII+)

I did stumble across this site (16colors) from a Tumblr post, and that pointed to the resources I need to make this real.

Here's the first thing I did. I made a black and white piece. The only reason the blood is in color was to visualized it and to having it make a shadow of shorts on the next step.

I did use a little cheat getting to the text image I could edit on instead of doing it all by hand. It did take a few attempts till I like how it looked.

The website I used for that was this. It allows you to convert images into ASCII art. Then copy and pasted it into the program.

Well lastly and the fun part coloring it, which if you have seen the post from few days back I did a whole color sheet to see how much colors I had to play with.

Here's some progress picture I took while getting it colored. The program I used was PabloDraw. It did take make a bit to understand how to use it, but was not hard.

Here's a zoom in to see two-tone blocks that gives the illusion of more colors than 16. You might have to zoom in it yourself to see it more of what I'm saying.

Mistigram: @Dosdoc was keen to provide #ANSIart illustration for our food-themed IMBIBE01 electronic magazine, just released, but couldn't resist giving it a literary spin, so here's his adaptation of #PaulKidby's cover art to #TerryPratchett's 1999 #NannyOggsCookbook. Have a taste via https://16colo.rs/mag/imbibe01 !

Just a simple animation that I made late at night. Actually the first piece that was done within ANSI colour limits (as used in Xterm) ^w^ (even though the only colours used were black and white (which is actually grey))

It wasn't enough for me to butcher its theme song on the accordion - I figured that my @mistfunk computer art collective's annual science fiction collection was due to drop later today on #TowelDay, so while I had the #ANSIart editor open, I had to find a way to let people know to keep calm. This #DontPanic logo follows a design used in the 1981 BBC television adaptation of #DouglasAdams' #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy, very possibly the handiwork of its award-winning animator #RodLord.
