Welcome Message: ANSI on DA

Mon Jun 6, 2005, 9:13 AM
This gallery collects my best work in the ANSI medium through the years. Most of these works were completed sometime between 1996 and 1999. Should you be unfamiliar with the ANSI medium, I suggest reading the description for this piece as an introduction:
[link]

ANSI is not pixel art. The blocks you see are characters (i.e. text, hence "textmode art"). The ANSI palette consists of 16 pre-determined foreground covers, with 8 optional background colours for each character. Coloured characters or "blocks" are manually laid down on a grid typically 80 units wide by however many long.

Although it is extremely time-consuming, a certain kind of magic can be achieved within these limits...

Here are some links to other ANSI artists on DA:
taintedXL [link]
BYM [link]
zeroVision [link]
m1sfit [link]
mimic (group) [link]

jSepia's page is also a good nexus for finding about all things text art related [link]

One may also witness the kinds of rubbish mistakenly filed under ANSI here at DA by visiting the category page for the medium:

FINAL NOTE: ALWAYS VIEW ANSI IN FULL!!!

I think I first came across your work over 10 years ago back when you were in Apathy. Man, time flies. Do you still draw ansi?
Not really, sadly. I just don't have time for it any more.
cool work

Nice gallery! i have just recently become very interested in ANSI art, although i just have two questions - i have just acquired pablodraw, and im not sure how to change the default portrait strip to a more landscape style canvas. also, are there any other non-ms dos ansi editors out there worth trying except pablodraw? thanks! :sherlock:
I just updated the article I attached to one of my old pieces back in 2004... might be of interest, or it might be incomprehensible... your call :)
