WANTED: PETSCII Art
Since there is no website currently dedicated to all the great PETSCII Art that was common on Commodore BBS's, I'm thinking about starting one up. However, I currently only have three disks of PETSCII Art files, so I'm looking to increase this collection before starting a website. If anyone has any disks of PETSCII Art, either self-made or buffer captures from BBS's, I'd be interested in getting copies. Please contact me here, or send me an e-mail at wiskow@verizon.net. Thanks!
-Andrew

i don't have anything to contribute (other than some lame os-ascii style in petscii =) - but i'd really like this page to happen.
if you haven't done already, you should ask at antidote too, there's plenty of petscii being posted. =) |

You could also ask Radman / Acid Productions who is rather keen on collecting such stuff (Not only PETSCII, but ANSI too)
Also i suggest one of these 'artworks' :-P

Recently I stumbled across a little red devil's head, but I can't find it anymore... |

Also check 2nd, 3rd etc. by Holy Moses. And JSL has produced an amazing amount of petscii smut |

This is PETSCII animation: Notemaker Demo II
And as far as i know, one of the greatest things done one c64. (even beyond petscii imho :)
Worth checking: Jucke & Dino & Poison. I must miss out a whole lot, and sorry for that.. I actually only began to appreciate PETSCII just not too long ago. (and i should be ashamed). |

The animations in the last BFP invitro should make anyone happy too. ;)
..and by the way, Sub#5 at Antidote is the place to be for PETSCII freaks. |

Thanks a lot to everyone who has sent me links. I've received a tremendous response to my request, from here as well as the other places I've posted this request. Now I just have to go through it all, then display the images in VICE, and convert them to JPEG's using Adobe Photoshop. This is going to take some time, but I think it will be worthwhile. :)

Noooo!
Don't use crappy JPEG for C64 screendumps (yes, that's what they're called)!
Better use PNG (directly from VICE) or GIF.

What Mace said. JPG uses compression that effects the graphics data which degrades the quality.
Great for pr0n, useless for screendumps (yep... ;)
Also, use the correct color palette. The gfx-ians can fill you in on that. |

the palettes can still be easyly changed afterwards. JPG-compression too with those resolutions but quite less easyly. |

make it a 16 color gif (or png) and it will be smaller than a jpg, and loose zero quality =P |

,png files with few colours will always be smaller than the corresponding .jpg files
I've got plenty of this stuff from BBS on some old disks, South of Heaven, Tunnel of Wares, Citadel of Illusion whatever
Chameleon was a great ASCII graphician, he ran Divine Ultimatum, 614-xxx-xxxx cant remember |

Thank you once again to everyone for all the great links and suggestions.
And BTW, I'm quite well aware of lossless and lossy compression methods, color palettes, etc. I've been doing this sort of thing professionally for the past 14 years... ;)

You should have told us that earlier because you scared the shit out of me when you mentioned jpeg!

To be quite honest, I didn't really think that using a lossy format like jpeg would be that big of a deal with such lo-res images... But your points are all quite valid.
Due to the tremendous response I've received on all the various lists and forums I've posted my original request on, I have WAY more images now than I ever expected I'd get. Rather than converting EVERYTHING for display on a website, I'm thinking now that it'd probably be better (or at least much easier) to just make a page with a showcase of some examples of PETSCII art, telling a bit about some of the history of it, and then have d64's available for download of everything that I have... I think I've got about TWENTY d64's already full of original SEQ files of PETSCII graphics. Now it's just really a matter of finding the TIME to go through it all and do it properly! ;)

i wanted to revisit this topic because i was looking for a website dedicated to petscii art and couldn't find anything significant. i remember every bbs big and small had tons of petscii logos and graphics on display. i'd love to browse through hundreds of pics rather than watch a demo of pics from the same group of artists. anyone aware of any sites? thanks. |

@Codey: There isn't really any sites like that existing. |
