MIST0523/SAN_TAGOY-ELEMENTAL

 Mistigram: players in the #Battletech / #Mechwarrior tabletop gaming hobby may recognize the #Elemental battle armour, drawn here in #ANSIart by san_tagoy. This screen was included in the science fiction-themed MIST0523 artpack collection released two years ago.

MIST0522/US-OPTIMUS_PRIME_PRIME

 Mistigram: this #1bit portrait of Transformers boss #OptimusPrime was drawn by LDA at the request of NDG, who adapted it into an #ASCIIart #primenumber.  This devastating pun, Optimus Prime Prime, was included in the science fiction-themed MIST0522 artpack collection.

MIST0524/BLIPPYPIXEL-HERE

Mistigram: Have you ever thought so hard that you warped the fabric of reality? This #BBCMicro high resolution screen was drawn by @blippypixel. It was included in last year's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.
 

MIST0524/MM-VITALS

 Mistigram: in this hopefully allegorical #ANSIart screen by @Mavenmob, a red wireframe model of a meat puppet indicates low ratings in essential categories, awaiting further resources and instructions.  This piece was included in last year's science fiction-themed MIST0524 artpack collection.

MIST0525/MC_FRESHER-IW2L

 Mistigram: a riff on the X-Files' #IWantToBelieve, this animated #DurDraw piece of #textmode art by MC Fresher depicts an alien abduction captioned with "I Want To Leave".  This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/ZII-WADO

 Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of #Maaya from the 2019 #Ultraman anime was drawn by Zeus II in promotion of Shurato's Heavenly Sphere BBS at shsbbs.net.  It was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0224/BLIPPYPIXEL-SLY_STONE

 

Mistigram: it's been an eventful ten days and the occasion ducked our notice for a week and a half, but in memoriam, here's a somber monochrome #teletext portrait of the late #SlyStone by @blippypixel, included in last year's music-themed MIST0224 artpack collection.

MIST0525/ATONALOSPREY-MODELBOTS-AISHA_THOMAS

 Mistigram: @atonalosprey's social media accounts were visited by many, many bot models recently. This one was extraordinarily chatty. (Perhaps Aisha is some relation to Eliza?) This #teletext portrait was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/US-BALOK

Mistigram: this unforgettable scene of #ClintHoward as #Balok from the 1966 #StarTrek episode #TheCorbomiteManeuver was drawn in #ANSIart by @kirkman and LDA with the (unfulfilled) intention of submitting to the LayerOne compo.  Instead it was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection. 

MIST0525/BLIPPYPIXEL-WORM_HOLE

 

Mistigram: I don't know if the quantum theory depicted is more wormhole than cosmic string, but regardless this cosmic #teletext scene was drawn by @blippypixel and included in the new, far-out science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/2STONED-JUDGEDREDD

 Mistigram: it may be the case that it's a little too on-the-nose to be running fanart of 2000AD's #JudgeDredd, 'a dark satire on the failures of democracy', at this historical moment... but here we are.  This #ANSIart scroller was drawn by @2Stoned and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.  #IAmTheLaw

MIST0525/LDB-TAKING_ALL_OF_HER

 Mistigram: this dystopian piece of postcard fiction (describing what is to be done when the novelty of playing with the AI RealDoll wears thin -- unless it is an allegory of course!) and its attached #ASCIIart illustration of a crucible are the handiwork of ldb. They were included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/US-SNITCH

 Mistigram: this scurrilous snitch, Garindan ezz Zavor (aka "Long-Snoot"), nearly ruined the day of the Millennium Falcon's crew when they were departing Mos Eisley in #StarWars. He was drawn in #ANSIart on our networked Moebius server by LDA and Zeus II, and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/NOUSCENTRIC-SEANCE_ENGINE

 Mistigram: this is a very techno-mythical handmade poster for the Seance Engine series of AI dialogues, conducted by @nouscentric in the guise of Madame Garou. The poster was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection. For further details about the series and notification about future installments, please visit https://www.madamegarou.ca/seance-engine

MIST0525/ZII-HORIA

 Mistigram: this #ANSIart promo for the Horizon BBS, drawn by Zeus II, depicts three cruciform space vessels monitoring the #eventhorizon of a nearby #blackhole. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/MC_FRESHER-JAMESON

 Mistigram: in the #GhostInTheShell world, the #Jameson is a bare-bones cyborg model, containing an individual's cyberbrain and spinal cord in a little box on legs -- not terribly glamorous but probably rather thrifty! This deceptively simple #texmode portrait of one was drawn in #DurDraw by MC Fresher and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/DARKMAN_ALMIGHTY-DATA-PHONE

 Mistigram: for MIST-30, we hoped to get a round of #WAZZUP going with '90s pop culture icons, but only Darkman Almighty's portrait of #Data from #STTNG S7E6, #Phantasms, got finished.  We just included it in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/HORTAU-SHAPE_003

 Mistigram: I don't know if it's a dimension door or a space elevator, but in any event this man is waiting for the doors to open so he can embark on his journey.  This #textmode illustration (taking advantage of XBIN character remapping) by @hortau was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/NIKLIKOVSKA-SPACEX_RAPID_UNSCHEDULED_DISASSEMBLY

 Mistigram: Nick Lakowski created this beautiful painting of the spectacular and very expensive lights show #SpaceX sponsored over the Caribbean in January and March of this year. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/TGH-RBLP

Mistigram: The Green Herring has really dug deep into gaming history to unearth the subject of this #ANSIart scene, Video System's 1987 arcade game #RabioLepus, wherein #rabbit-shaped spaceships defend the realm of #BUNNYLAND from invaders!  This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/BLIPPYPIXEL-PORTRAIT_OF_GEPEET

 Mistigram: a longtime fan of HAL 9000, @blippypixel has been quite excited at the popular emergence of #AI helper agents and copilots, for better or for worse. What we see here is a #teletext portrait of "GePeet", his attempt at human-illustrating #GPT's description of its own appearance. This screen was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/ZII-TDPLd

 Mistigram: in the extraordinary 50-line mode, @ZeusII has drawn an #ANSIart portrait of the inner planets of the solar system. The first one we share should be a little familiar, our native Terra along with Luna, the moon. These were included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/DISCGATOR-IVANOVA

 Mistigram: this #ASCIIart portrait of #Babylon5's unimpeachable #SusanIvanova was drawn by @discgator and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

MIST0525/ATONALOSPREY-MODELBOTS-VERICA_LEDGER_ASPIRING_MODEL

Mistigram: This bold, shameless virtual character put so much work into reaching @AtonalOsprey that he was won over to enshrining her as part of a series of model bot portraits in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.
