A long strip of ANSI art depicting aliens beaming down from a UFO over a grassy field at night, with mountains in the distance, and walking down a path to greet us, the people of Earth. They are various flavors of animalistic, with pointed ears, long tails, and digitigrade legs; and have only three fingers on each hand. The most visible of these creatures are various bright colors and clad in bodysuits. A pink alien in white and a white alien in black walk together, a yellow alien in blue with a blue-tufted tail strides on after them, and a cyan alien in red with a red-tufted tail waves to Earthlings off-screen, close enough to us that we can see their black beady eyes. In the front, closest to us, is a green fish-like alien in red wearing red-rimmed glasses, smiling and waving to us while their fish tail swishes behind them.

A screenshot of Cyber Purge v2.21, running in ClassicZoo, taken during a cutscene. TAKAMIMI, the VR avatar of the hero Takami Bluesky, a big floating fennec fox head with detached arms and legs, is standing with a defiant expression on their face over the abstract background of a blazing aura in the shape and colors of the rainbow infinity symbol. Along the bottom of the screen is a single line of dialog: "I'm one of them."

Happy World Autism Acceptance Day from "Cyber Purge" v2.21, the final content update, released on February 21, 2026!

The workstages of Kaoru fighting a robot! It started as a narrow strip, some stages were done on my Steam Deck at work, and the robot was drawn in a separate file before I merged it into the main one.

In this massive piece of ANSI art, at night, with the stars shining above, a long-necked Japanese marten person, a warrior mage standing on one leg on a wooden post in the middle of a lake, is casting a mystic fireball and aiming it a killer robot flying towards them. The mage is wearing a sleeveless robe with their hood up, their ponytail pushing it back, and a side slit that leaves their leg visible beneath their skirt. They are pointing at the giant orb in the middle of a robot flying with hover jets trying to attack them with four clawed tentacles. Its downwards jet is causing the lake water to ripple and splash with its force, reflections can be seen in the lake's surface, and the mountains surrounding the lake in the distance fade into the night sky.

Most mages need their feet on solid ground to cast magic, but Kaoru Morimoto (they/them) is not most mages.

After posting my #ANSIArt marten mage, I wondered, "How do they wear that hood with that ponytail?" And so I drew it. And then I gave them a name!

In this piece of ANSI art, a Japanese marten person with spiky black hair in a ponytail stands poised to fight in a dark forest, narrowing their eyes. They are dressed in a sleeveless red robe with a huge hood and a side slit, a set of gauntlets and a pair of ankle protectors. Next them is an inset box containing the same marten in the same pose, but in a tenth of the size, drawn entirely with blocks, shade characters and punctuation.

For #MartenDay, here's an #ANSIArt sprite of mine from 2023 redrawn at ten times the size! This marten's ready to rumble!

A snapshot of a gallery page from my website circa 2023 for a piece of ANSI art titled "Machine World" dated to March 11, 2023. In it, a featureless humanoid figure floats in a fetal position while surrounded by a green and dark gray bubble made of ones and zeroes, and with particles made of dots, ones and zeroes floating away from it. The ones and zeroes floating away are colored from white to green to dark gray. Around this figure, split across several lines, is a message reading, "In a machine world, / created by machine minds, / built by machine men, / can one truly call themselves free?" The picture is bordered on the top and bottom by a single line with gradient coloring from white to green to dark gray, with the artist signature "TGH!" on one side and the date 2023 on the other. Below the image, most of the text has been grayed out to highlight the following passage: "I imagined what would happen if the blowhards proposing generative AI as a replacement for humans got their way. A world governed by generative AI would be a horrific one, for an AI can only act based on what data is fed to it. Thus, an AI, by its very nature, does not possess the capacity for critical thinking, which is precisely what the machine men of fascism desire."

Happy anniversary to this conceptual art piece from 2023, in which I predicted genAI as a tool of fascism.

A nest of snow rabbits are working to build another one of their kind on a slab of rock. One has ripped off part of his own ear and is about to put a snowball inside of the creature; while another is squatted by the legs working to put more snow into the right leg from a pile. Another rabbit stands at the back casting cyan magic to begin the process of bringing the creature to life, with a cyan aura surrounding their head. Several more of these rabbits watch with a mix of surprise, contemplation and admiration. One side of the rock slab happens to be lit in a manner resembling the number 23.

The 23rd day of the 2025 #ANSIArt Advent calendar from @mistfunk.bsky.social marked my final entry in the calendar, a nest of snow rabbits about to become one rabbit larger!

Over a big red heart symbol, a rabbit and a squirrel with blue hair and clothes kiss under mistletoe with their eyes closed. The rabbit is white-furred, muscular and masculine, with long parted hair, hands on the squirrel's shoulders, and a muscle shirt. The squirrel is golden-furred and slender, with long messy hair; wears blue eyeshadow, a choker and a t-shirt; and is resting a hand on the rabbit's chest. To each side is written the number 20.

Two feline aliens, one cyan and one blue, sit together on a red rug in front of their fireplace, lit only by the flames and in silhouette. They are seated separately but with their tails wrapped around one another. Above the fireplace is a painting of a yin yang-esque design with one half cyan and the other blue. Surrounding it are framed photos of the cyan alien winning a trophy in an athletic competition with confetti raining down on them, and the ruins of a domed city at dawn. Below the photos are end tables carrying the trophy and a salvaged speed limit sign with the number 15 on it. In front of the sign is a droid on tank treads with an antenna on top; in front of the trophy is a stereo playing music. In the shadows of the background, the outlines of a couch, an end table with a blue and yellow lava lamp, a doorway, and a door with cyan and blue panels next to a thin lamp on a post can be seen.

Day 15 of the 2025 @mistfunk.bsky.social #ANSIArt Advent calendar captured my Surveyor from @‍‍party 2024 (http://atparty-demoscene.net/ at home with their loving partner!

Against a purple sky fading into blue night, the silhouette of a gigantic wingless dragon man, with only his eyes and nostrils visible, raises his arms over a city and declares, "This city is now open!" A cat and a floppy-eared dog seen as gray outlines watch from in front of the viewer. Between them are paths leading to a water fountain, with the path in front having the number 13 written on it.

In a snow-covered landscape at day, a brown rabbit person with a white underbelly wearing a big red ribbon around their neck is playing table tennis with another brown rabbit person only seen as a hand wearing a cyan ring. Motion lines drawn with punctuation suggest the red ribbon rabbit has quickly lunged to the side to bounce the ball off the court and over the net, seen from the perspective of their opponent who is preparing to block the shot. In the background, a burly rabbit wearing a big cyan neck ribbon and a smaller rabbit with floppy ears and a red scarf are each holding up a score card with the number "1" written on it. The burly one stares in smug satisfaction with a hand on his hip while the floppy-eared one is cheering on Red Ribbon.

In a snow-covered forest at night, an athletic deer man with glowing green eyes wearing long green gloves, leg warmers, and a side-split skirt all made of leaves casts magic with green energy that causes a spruce tree to burst from the ground, sending snow spraying all around. His outstretched arm leaves a magical trail that happens to resemble the number 10.

In front of her fireplace, a lynx in a blue tank top with long blue hair has encountered a tiny red-haired squirrel man in her Christmas stocking. She is staring at him with a serious expression as he smiles up at her, and a line of dots indicate they are meeting each other's eyes. Thought bubbles emerge from the lynx's head leading to a cat smile drawn as a colon-three emoticon.
