We #Pizzatoe #Pt created a new #ANSIart piece from the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k — featuring an infantry soldier of the Death Korps of Krieg. One of the Emperor’s mortal regiments, they embrace death and are known for their signature gas masks.

We’re thrilled to announce that #Pizzatoe #Pt is part of Lazarus’s latest artpack on 16colors: 16colo.rs/pack/laz20/ We contributed two #ANSIart scrolls inspired by Indiana Jones–style adventures, in collaboration with the amazing artists warpus and krl.

Another #ANSIart character from the Warhammer 40k universe — the ascended Daemon Prince of Khorne. We used a dominant red tone, with deep and pale yellow armor to echo his brutal presence. The massive wings aren’t fully shown, emphasizing a sense of oppressive power.

We at #Pizzatoe #Pt put a lot of effort into polishing this version — adding intricate details to the hair, clothes, and accessories. We also redesigned the background, placing the character deep inside a mysterious cave to spark an adventure. We love the dynamic energy this piece brings.

Since then, we at #Pizzatoe #Pt have been creating more #ANSIart portraits as part of our creative practice. One favorite is “The Crazy Artist” — a bold piece with striking blue and purple contrasts. The full collection appears at the end of the video. More portraits in progress — stay tuned!

In January 2025, we at #Pizzatoe #Pt created a series of #ANSIart to celebrate the Lunar New Year — featuring festive scenes like New Year prints and lion dancing. It’s fascinating to reimagine these iconic East Asian traditions through the lens of computational art.

At #Pizzatoe #Pt, we crafted a portrait in #ANSIart to honor the memory of a beautiful and kind soul.

Next up in #Pizzatoe #Pt: a refined version of our #ANSIart Horus. We spent more time refining the fur texture on the wolf pelt, especially around the shoulders. The blood-red eyes are now brighter and more intense, and we’ve added extra detail and highlights to the skull as well.

Another piece of #ANSIart to pay tribute to Tomb Raider. It’s still just a rough sketch—we’re planning to add more background, lighting, and a stronger sense of motion for the main character. We also want to create more interaction between the protagonist and the environment. Stay tuned! :)

Fixed the cop car, btw!

Thanks to @mozz-us.bsky.social for bringing the beautiful #ASCIIart. We're thrilled to see a scene inspired by famous East Asian poem. The poem roughly translates to: "Spring slumber knows no dawn; Everywhere, birds sing in the morning. Last night, came wind and rain— How many blossoms have fallen?"

For this updated #ANSIart piece from the #Pizzatoe #Pt crew, we added a more dynamic bow pose, flowing hair, enhanced lighting, new gloves and arrows. So much detail packed into just 80 columns! Let us know what you think, or how you'd improve it!

Our latest #ANSIart piece features the iconic Tomb Raider, Lara Croft! The full moon in the background is a nod to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. For this piece, we #Pizzatoe #Pt used a classic #ANSIart trick: black outlines to make Lara pop against the moonlit scene.

We're excited to reveal a sneak peek of our upcoming #ANSIart! This piece features Horus, the iconic protagonist from the Warhammer 40k tabletop game and the Horus Heresy novel series. His armor is depicted with striking black and yellow blocks, alongside blended shades of dark and light yellow.

This month, we #Pizzatoes #Pt have been busy planning something exciting: our very own #ANSIart artpark! Instead of original characters, we're paying tribute to beloved figures from movies, games, and anime. We welcome your feedback and suggestions as we develop this project.

new enemy type for a unique gathering quest....

Mistigram: also served as a side with our newly-released Imbibe food-themed e-mag is a tasting flight of other delicious text and semigraphics art - here is a sampling of some tasty #teletext and #ASCIIart, an Xbin & a #BBCMicro high resolution graphics screen.

We #Pizzatoe #Pt made an experiment, mainly using characters to create #ANSIart scenes. Then, we tried to interpret the ANSI abbreviation as “Automated Neural System Interface,” “Advanced Navigation of Space and Interdimensions,” and so on. Looks silly, though, but interesting.

#Pt105 crazy purple: #Pizzatoe #Pt create #ANSIart in a black-white sketch style, with purple deliberately chosen as the accent color. Inspiration may come from walking on old streets on a Friday night, where the stone pavement reflects the neon signs of bars and restaurants.

During our daily creations last December, we #Pizzatoe #Pt not only worked on our #ANSIart logo but also incorporated some portrait artworks. At the same time, we drew a lot of inspiration from the mysterious and ancient cultures of the East. Hope you enjoy!
