Mistigram: it's always a good moment for a little textmode #surrealism! This monochrome screen, "Under the Spell", was drawn by @littlebitspace.bsky.social & won 3rd place in in the Flashparty #PETSCII compo, almost a year ago. It was also just included in the unthemed MIST0826 artpack collection.

Beneath a starry night sky complete with a crescent moon, two vague human figures with obscured arms huddle side by side in the grass beneath a levitating parasol. (Paralun, I guess.)

I'm now working on a new version of the tarot app. I hope to include some additional special features to it and overall make it better

4. Study pieces you like drawn by others. You'll find they've used some techniques that you might want to try. 5. Practice consistently! 15 minutes daily is better than a single 1-hour session per week. + Also, I'm happy to help but you'll have to share your WIP so I can guide you forwards.

3. Start small. Do not try to create a masterpiece. Small doodles are worth more than big pieces. I have literally hundreds of unfinished pieces. Not all pieces are meant to be finished and that is fine. ...

2. Learn one medium. I started with ASCII and it took time until I tried something else. The skills will apply to other mediums but you need to have experience and confidence. It pays out getting advanced in a single medium first. ...

My advice is not what others would tell you. I advocate for learning it by yourself through practice. This applies if you want to skip all the tutorials. 1. Define your constraints. For me this was certain kind of aesthetic and I have always preferred typing the art over drawing using a mouse. ...

Does that mean there's at least one person who actually visits my site for the tarot cards? I haven't been tracking any data so I couldn't know. I think I'll put them somewhere but it needs a little work to keep the current site lightweight. The previous one has issues and was getting sluggish

Mistigram: #cherryblossom season is sweeping through Japan, so what better time to share this #textart screen, drawn by @littlebitspace.bsky.social, celebrating a seasonal #tea service in the shadow of #Fujisan. It was included in the recent unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

Behind a teapot and cup on a wooden outdoor table sweeps a bough heavily laden with cherry blossoms. In the far distance, across a lake, is visible a snowcapped mountaintop and the scraps of scanty pink clouds passing far above it.

Thanks for the shoutout! For context, I have never used any scripts to generate textmode; they just don't have the same quality as hand-drawn stuff. The secret is that it's never a perfect rendition and the small changes is what truly matters. In the end, it's just a skill I practiced quite a lot.

Mistigram: this #PETSCII illustration, "Jouer le rôle" (play the role), is unmistakably from the desk of @littlebitspace.bsky.social , featuring a skeletal marionette dangling at rest between two artist's mannequins. It was included in the new unthemed MIST0226 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this jolly #ASCIIart portrait of Olive was drawn by @littlebitspace.bsky.social back in 2021. I'm not sure why we waited so long to share it, but it was included in the MIST0223 artpack collection released 3 years ago this month, and now we're finally getting around to showing it to you.

Mistigram: The damn beautiful fool of an elf did it, he went too far this time, pulling off one last Christmas... but at what cost? This depiction of Santa's gift-wrapped funeral was drawn by @littlebitspace.bsky.social and LDA for this date in last year's ADVENT24 #ANSIart #AdventCalendar.

Rows of elves and reindeer weep and mourn at the funeral of an implied Father Christmas, depicted only through a neatly gift-wrapped funeral casket.

Mistigram: Bystanders observing this gnarly #sk8r dude might be moved to remark: siiiick! No: in fact, he is completely deceased! But not even death can keep a wicked shredder down. This monochrome #ANSIart #skeleton, titled #DanseMacabre, is the handiwork of @littlebitspace.bsky.social.

a skeleton skateboarder does a one-arm handstand mid-trick (holding his deck in his other bony claw) while the sun and moon wheel above his kicking foot-bones... all rendered in a woodcut style by way of monochrome ANSI art.

Mistigram: this elegant #textmode #skull, given rather more texture through use of a remapped #ASCIIart font than the ANSI bonehead it appeared alongside in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection, is of course the handiwork of @littlebitspace.bsky.social

A clean human skull, formed entirely out of gothic letters and punctuation marks, meets the viewer's gaze dead-on.

Keeping things fun, the artist has flayed the flesh from the face of the 19th Tarot card of the Major Arcana, the Sun. (If you like, you can imagine that this is the skull of the solar Teletubbies baby, continuing to burn luminously in the sky even after the baby itself has died and mouldered away. How equally festive for both summer and Halloween!)
