WANTED: Someone to convert ANSI to PETSCII
Howdy.
I have commissioned some BBS screens in ANSI format that are simply amazing. Unfortunately, the artist doesn't know anything about doing PETSCII.
I am willing to pay to have these screens converted from ANSI to PETSCII. The graphics are not heavily shaded nor full of dual-color cells.
The URL to the graphics is:

If you're interested in the job, please PM me with a price and when you could have it done. |

Um, did you read the part about the author of the ANSI not knowing anything about C64, or was that detail too non-l33t for you? |

Biggest issue with the screens provided is they're 80 columns wide.
Scale down to 40 columns, and suddenly there are many many blocks that have two non-background colours.
Any conversion's going to have to lose either detail or colour fidelity. |

petscii and typical ansi gfx is made very differently anyway, so anything but a complete remake wouldnt work at all (or look like crap) |

That took me about 4 hours. I'm sure a more competent artist could do it much more quickly. Now I don't know about you, but I'd say that's a pretty fair approximation of the original. |

well, thats not a very advanced ansi screen to begin with - when they almost only use filled blocks like this one, you can even do it with a script :) |

Such a script would be a great service the community. Care to put your skills where your mouth is? |

@King Durin: Yes, well done. But I'd say don't give up so easily on the original artist: anyone who does ANSI should be nerdy enough to be interested in PETSCII as well. Of course it would be cool to introduce him to the real machine - e.g. with a nice PETSCII gfx collection like Tales of Esgaroth ; I could imagine that it does catch his interest. Of course if you find a suitable PC editor, to make it easier for him to play around a bit, all the better. Sooner or later he'll get himself a breadbin anyway, I'm sure. :-) |
