MIST0526/TGH-HDIL

Mistigram: you last saw this alien character a bit over a week ago, leading the parade of friendly extraterrestrials departing a flying saucer. They’re ready for their close-up now, in high-resolution #pixelart, and want to make sure you get their good side. “How Do I Look, Earthling?” was drawn by The Green Herring and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/CT-IRON_GIANT

Mistigram: for last month’s new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection, Cthulu drew some #ANSIart in tribute to Brad Bird’s 1999 animated film adaptation #TheIronGiant, including a slogan drawn from the movie’s script. #YouDontHaveToBeAGun

MIST0526/TGH-PWEB

Mistigram: @thegreenherring took 1st place with this cosmic ark #ANSIart promo for #Protoweb at the graphics compo at last year’s Field-FX @ WHY demoparty, and it was also just included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/MC_FRESHER-LLNP

Mistigram: this monochrome #unsi (#Unicode #ANSIart) image of a distinctively #Vulcan hand gesture 🖖 was drawn by @mc.fresher and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection. #LiveLongAndProsper

MIST0526/ZII-GEMP

Mistigram: this spacefarer behind the blue visor was drawn by Zeus II as a pre-login screen commissioned for Gemenon BBS. It was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/CT-SNOW_CRASH

Mistigram: sometimes you get far enough into your preliminary layout of an #ANSIart adaptation that you realise, gulp, this is going to be more small-scale than I thought, maybe I should cut and run. Saner artists do, but Cthulu has a “sunk cost fallacy” way of hanging in to the bitter end and seeing it through. Anyway, this is his take on #BruceJensen’s iconic cover art to the 1993 paperback edition of #NealStephenson’s #cyberpunk novel #SnowCrash, in the background, #TheGrid, in the foreground, the world’s tiniest #HiroProtagonist. It was drawn for the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection(, though while apparently still in a MIST0426 frame of mind!)

MIST0526/TGH-RV26

Mistigram: as an American participating in a European demoparty (and with their fursona leading the parade), The Green Herring went with a “we come in peace” theme for this #ANSIart scroller, “Greetings, Earthlings!”, which placed 6th (top third!) in the text art compo in this year’s Revision demoparty. This piece was also included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/MM-DIGITALLOTUS

Mistigram: in different ancient cultures the #lotus signifies different things — in India, perfection and enlightenment; in Greece, hedonism and addiction. You may need to decide for yourself which one @mavenmob was alluding to (if not both!) in this #ANSIart illustration of the flower melting away into the Matrix. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/MIST0526.MEM

Mistigram: Cthulu dutifully traced the monochrome poster art to Fritz Lang’s 1927 German expressionist film #Metropolis as #blockASCII, then hesitated, contemplating its opening logo — starts with an M… ends with an S… also contains a T, an I, an R… well heck, he thought, there’s nearly already everything here needed to make a Mistigris logo out of, and then I could use it as an infofile header! Ultimately it did appear in exactly that way in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/NI-VILAR

Mistigram: RIP to English actor #MichaelKeating, who famously played #VilaRestal in #Blakes7. This memorial #ANSIart tribute was drawn by Nitron and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/TGHRV26B

Mistigram: drawn in just under four hours for the Oldskool Graphics Compo at the Revision 2026 demoparty (where it placed 11th), this #pixelart piece, “Snake Dance”, was made by The Green Herring and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/ZII-ZAAC

Mistigram: a technocratic society in which elite underground hackers earn credits for drawing radical text art illustrations may feel distinctly retrofuturistic, but nonetheless ZII (Zeus II) has established his AAC (#ANSIArt Corporation) from which you can commission screens and scrollers at competitive rates. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526 FILE_ID.DIZ

Mistigram: since 2018, we have released a science fiction-themed artpack every year in the month of May. We weren’t going to make it this year, so we simply broke the laws of space and time in order to allow us sufficient opportunity to complete the collection. You can download the new SF-themed MIST0526 artpack collection from mistigris.org or enjoy browsing it via the @sixteen_colors web gallery at https://16colo.rs/pack/mist0526/
