From the Jargon File (aka Hacker's Dictionary):
ASCII art: n. The fine art of drawing diagrams using the ASCII character set (mainly `|', `-', `/', `\', and `+'). Also known as `character graphics' or `ASCII graphics'
This means that the images in this blog are not GIFs, JPEGs, AutoCAD blueprints, Lightwave renderings, or anything else of that nature. They're comprised entirely of characters you can type on a keyboard. It's an art form, albeit a strange one.

  1. Did you make new ASCII or are you reposting? Usually the ASCII art blogs/ sites I find are full of dust bunnies. Nice to see you posted this year.

  2. They're new! I crack open a text editor every so often, when inspiration strikes.

    It's also easy to cheat now, by using a translucent terminal window over actual renders of a ship, and basically tracing the underlying image. It still requires some creativity to emphasize the edges and greeblies
