DARK0597/YT-TT1.RIP
Mistigram: This #RIPscrip vector illustration, advertising watOr’s BBS toOns town, was drawn by Neophyte for our Mistigris World Tour stop visiting Dark Illustrated in the DARK0597 artpack collection, released 28 years ago this month.
If my #SVG redraw of this piece (from https://chitter.xyz/@TheGreenHerring/110464083369868351) was required to draw itself layer-by-layer in front of the viewer like #RIPscrip did in its day, this is approximately what it would look like (shrunken size and GIF crunching of the background gradient aside):
Attached: 1 image To give myself and viewers perspective on my last piece, I redrew it as an SVG in Inkscape, a far more modern (as well as FOSS) solution for creating #VectorArt. I was able to do much more with this piece of #FurryArt than I could before, simply because of what modern art tools can do today that tools from the early 1990s couldn't! I went into detail on the #RIPscrip program I used to make the previous version on my website: https://thegreenherring.neocities.org/art/2023/ZOZSKUNK #Art #MastoArt #FurryArt

#RIPscrip, 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:
If you think #ANSIArt is a strange and obscure format, wait till you hear about #RIPscrip! 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 #artscene. And I just drew #FurryArt in it--specifically a portrait of one of my avatars from the #textmode indie game "ZOZ". It's a very stylized picture compared to my usual art, but I like how it came out!
#RIPscrip - the online graphics format that predates the modern Web.
