Smallscale ANSI art depicting an athletic raccoon man with long hair from an upcoming indie game jam game in two images. One shows him in green marathon running clothes with a long headband and running shoes with open soles, crouched with his hands on the ground and ready to start a race with determination in his eyes. The other is a portrait of him in a green polo shirt with a surprised, cartoony expression on his face, as if reacting to someone suddenly whipping out a smartphone camera right in front of him. Between them is the text "Eddy the Cleaner" in the classic IBM serif font.

A snapshot from an upcoming YouTube video upload of The Green Herring's "Snake Eyes". One side shows the cover art, an ANSI art portrait of a planet-dwarfing rainbow snake with the artist's name in a green-white gradient and the title surrounding an image of the snake's eyes over a rainbow banner, with text above and below reading, "Chiptune for the AdLib Music Synthesizer Card (Yamaha OPL2 / YM3812). Written June 30-July 1, 2026, released July 1, 2026." The other side shows oscilloscopes for all nine individual FM channels of the YM3812, which animate as the music plays. Overlaid over the art and the scopes is a spectrum visualizer in a white-green gradient. Behind the scopes is the artist herself, a buxom green fishwoman with glasses in an oversized red shirt, a pleated black skirt and fishnet, smiling with arms akimbo as she looks at the person listening to her music and wags her tail.

In this long piece of ANSI art, using only shades of cyan, magenta, black and white, a massive cat-eared spaceship has landed in a clearing with dead trees, and its riders have gathered in front of the viewer. Some have climbed trees, some are still leaving the ship, but all of them are quadrupeds with long ears, psychic energy hands and clothes tailored for their bodies. The one in front, a smirking feline with spiky hair, is wearing a leather jacket, silver earrings, and anklets; he has sent one of his hands right in front of the viewer to beckon them over. He is flanked by his bodyguards: a serious fellow with a mohawk and a turtleneck, flashing his psychic claws and indicating he's present and ready to use them; and a big one with short parted hair and a hooded jacket bearing his claws and fangs and poised to pounce at the slightest move. Both of them are prepared to tear the viewer apart if they do anything other than what the leader is asking for.

Yesterday, I went on Twitch to draw a long piece of #ANSIArt, and this is the result! A whole bunch of ETs with psychic hands would like to talk, and you better…

A yellow alien resembling a brontosaurus with blue leaf-like flaps on its head and back stands on purple grass at night surrounded by giant grey alien plants, looking over its back with its tail lifted. Various smaller creatures watch on, with only their eyes visible.

In this piece of 16-color textmode art, Bubsy, an orange, slender, cyan-eyed cartoon bobcat man wearing only a long-sleeved white shirt with a red exclamation point on the front, sits in an alien world on his hip, his legs sprawled to the side, smirking at the viewer. A collection of red, cyan and black yarn balls sits behind him, and cyan yarn wrapped around his arms and his chest, which he grips with both hands, with one hand raised and the other on the ground. He sits on a red and cyan checkerboard with a wobbly appearance as if rendered by the original Sony PlayStation, and in the background is a range of red mountains with a polygonal appearance. The sky is a flat cyan and completely bare except for a few lonely, floating platforms.

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."

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.

A bust of a Japanese marten person, seen from the front and the side, wearing a robe with its hood up. It is huge to account for their long thick marten neck, has holes for their ears to go through, and extends far back from the head with a round tip. An additional side shot shows a section cut out of the hood to reveal their ponytail, which begins with a bun secured with a long tube, is pushing back the hood to create this shape. Each portrait is surrounded by an abstract flame effect curving around them. Next to these portraits is the name "Kaoru Morimoto" written in Japanese with the Romanization underneath, and the pronouns "they/them".

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.

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 piece of ASCII art, drawn entirely with text and punctuation, of a deer man with long hair seen from the back, looking over his shoulder and flexing while fireworks go off in the sky. A message reads, "To all at rsync 2026: Happy New Year!" Credits go to Suule for "graphics and code", Gasman for "music and code", and to The Green Herring for "this ASCII".

On a website front page, in a green wireframe grid, a masculine but lean green fishperson with long parted hair wearing red glasses, earrings, a choker with a red medal, and a dark-red V-neck t-shirt over a heavy bosom, along with fishnet gloves and a black waist-high pleated skirt with pockets pushed slightly forward by their package, greets the visitor to their website with a smile and a wave of their hand, their other hand resting on their hip and their tail lifted. The text says: "The Green Herring: Art, Games and More! This site is intended for users 18 or over! Welcome to my domain, where you can find my artwork, games, music and more. What would you like to see today?"

"A retrospective sampler of art from 2025. See you in 2026!" In January, I went raving, @RachelRox leaped into Twitch partnership, Flygon became a Shining Force mage and @techokami@woof.tech gained a PNGTuber! In February, queer roos laid on the beach and went flying, I hung out at the bar, and a pleasant vista fit in just 256 characters. In March, warriors readied to spar, queer roos celebrated TDOV, and alien shapes were drawn to protest genAI! In April, Punky Skunk got his day, the Silvamancer emerged, and a bunny cast magic on Easter! In May, more aliens emerged against genAI, and Rabio Lepus got fan art. In June, Dr. Eniiyi Adebayo said trans rights are human rights, Sparkster fought Axel Gear, and I won a compo with a speed paint! In July, a raccoon enby artist lounged on a chair they drew, Kitten Kaboodle got fanart, I sent an Undertale Memory, and I drew a Critter Time forum exclusive of a bunny biting my head. In August, I gifted PangolinFox techwear, won and lost compos, unle
