Sally the Shopkeeper (ATLYSS) (2024)
Drawn from December 1-3, 2024. It's fan art for ATLYSS, an indie furry action game that was increasingly popular at the time I drew this, depicting its full-figured shopkeeper Sally in a more realistic manner compared to her in-game model, and in the constraints of both code page 437 and the EGA palette. It started with me doing a low-res ANSI art portrait like the one with which I surprised a friend on Bluesky, and then I decided to expand it into a fuller picture. The result was this unexpectedly massive piece, benefiting from a modern era that allows for ANSI art larger than 80×25 characters to be seen on one screen. It's not the first time I drew such a huge picture, but it's the first to live up to the artistic standard to which I'd elevated myself in the 2+ years since, and certainly what convinced me that I could pull off higher-resolution character art.
With my old reliance on fade characters long replaced with heavy use of block characters of all kinds, I benefited from the image size in how much fine detail I could put into everything from the fabric folds to the wood texturing on the walls. While it was not out of my reach before, this allowed me to better showcase my ability to depict how clothing fits on the body, showing the tightness of her dress and the looseness of her sleeves. All this, and I was also able to fit both the character's name and a low-res drawing of the game's logo without sacrificing anything. Not bad!
