sonic, but in textmode art

(what's textmode? open the article to find out)


Hey guys, Peter here to explain what's textmode. Textmode is essentially a kind of low-spec art, that shares many similarities with Pixel Art, but there's some slight differences here and there. For example, instead of placing pixels, you place characters from a given, monospaced (aka, each character has the same size) font instead, which have 2 colors to choose from, Foreground, and Background. This medium was very popular in the 70s/80s, due to their usage in old computers, such as the Commodore 64, which instead of placing pixel by pixel, it placed character by character. Thanks for coming to my "Peter Explains Art" podcast.

Palette used is ANB16

Font used is my (upcoming?) font, Minus.
