Someone had too much time on their hands

I feel they cheated a bit - it is not pure ASCII art since they added lines, and tilt the drawings, etc.


For some real ascii art, try Cosmic Blop, a movie stored in a 4K program:

Adding lines is no additional sin once you tilt things . It reminds me of... I think a few years ago someone had a complete movie (might've been Star Wars or similar) translated to ASCII as his Unix .profile file so when you fingered him you watched the movie. It was a lot larger, though, many MBs.

That Cosmic Blop is beautiful...

Two windows freeware programs maybe of further interest:

AsciiArtMachine converts pictures to text.

HTML Image converts pictures to colored HTML.

HTMLImage generates text based color images which look very similar to the original. Not included is an option to save the HTML as picture. Does anyone knows a freeware converter from HTML to a picture format like GIF,JPG,TIFF ? Then it would be possible to bring the HTML image to photo paper. I hadn't found a freeware converter yet.

There's one called "PrintScreen key"

haha, that's pretty spiffy....my favorite though is still the Star Wars asciimation:
