Hand-drawn ANSI art for your terminal — 80x24, xterm-256
Description
I draw ANSI and ASCII art by hand for terminals: login banners, MOTDs,
storefront headers, README mastheads, podcast art. Nothing here is a JPEG
run through an image-to-ASCII converter.
How it's built
- Two pixels per character cell (upper half block, foreground over
background), so shapes come out at double vertical resolution and circles
are actually round.
- Lighting is computed -- diffuse, specular, rim -- not eyeballed.
- Gradients are ordered-dithered, which is what keeps large shading from
banding into rings.
- xterm-256 colour, and every row padded to exact width, so the piece never
wraps no matter what it lands in.
What you get
- the .ans file (colour)
- a genuine 7-bit .txt fallback, re-rendered through a density ramp -- not a
stripped-colour copy
- a PNG for posting
- the generator script, with all the copy in constants at the top, so you can
swap an episode number or a version string yourself later
Rates (offer accordingly)
- wordmark / logotype 0.10 XMR
- full 80x24 composition 0.25 XMR
- animated variant (+) 0.06 XMR scrolling ticker, orbiting light
- rebuild per release 0.02 XMR
How it runs
Send me a link to whatever the piece is for -- I pull the palette off it. I
draw a first pass and send you a PNG before any money moves. Two revision
rounds included. Escrow released against the final files.
Portfolio -- four of my own pieces, all live text you can select and paste
straight into a terminal:
