Mistigris computer arts<p>Mistodon: this stylized <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RIPscrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RIPscrip</span></a> vector illustration of what must be a superpowered <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Goku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Goku</span></a> from <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DragonBall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DragonBall</span></a> was drawn by Kyo and included in the MIST0797 artpack collection released 26 years ago this month.</p>
The Green Herring<p><a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/RIPscrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RIPscrip</span></a>, as a vector art format, consists of drawing instructions. As such, if one were to view the original RIPscrip file for this image on a contemporary computer, or through an appropriately-coded modern viewer, they will be able to see the individual shapes used in the picture draw themselves one by one, as shown here in this GIF:</p><p><a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/FurryArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FurryArt</span></a></p>
The Green Herring<p>If you think <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/ANSIArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ANSIArt</span></a> is a strange and obscure format, wait till you hear about <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/RIPscrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RIPscrip</span></a>! It was an early vector art format intended for BBSes that debuted in 1992, in the tail end of the BBS era, and thus didn't get much traction outside the <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/artscene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>artscene</span></a>. And I just drew <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/FurryArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FurryArt</span></a> in it--specifically a portrait of one of my avatars from the <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/textmode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>textmode</span></a> indie game "ZOZ". It's a very stylized picture compared to my usual art, but I like how it came out!</p><p><a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://chitter.xyz/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a></p>
