MIST0526/CT-MIRRORSHADES

Mistigram: still with the books-themed MIST0426 on the brain, Cthulu recently stumbled across a copy of #BruceSterling's seminal #Mirrorshades #cyberpunk anthology in a used bookstore, and took it as a sign from The Algorithm to adapt its evocative cover artwork to #ANSIart for the recent science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0717/ILLARTERATE-BUCKETHEAD17_2

Mistigram: plus ça change... today Count Binface is campaigning against Nigel Farage in Clacton, but nine years ago it was his predecessor #LordBuckethead running against Theresa May in Maidenhead. One item on his manifesto was the return of Ceefax, so #teletext artists, in this case @illarterate, were only too keen to boost his campaign. This screen was included in the MIST0717 artpack collection released nine years ago this month.

MIST0526/DARKMAN_ALMIGHTY-TRIP_TUCKER

 Mistigram: some of us explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... for Darkman Almighty, the science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection was an opportunity to draw #ANSIart of a character from a #StarTrek franchise he had not yet tapped. This is a portrait of actor #ConnorTrinneer, playing Charles #TripTucker III in #Enterprise. #WhereNoDogHasGoneBefore

MIST0526/ZII-THUG

 Mistodon: this badass extra-wide #ANSIart promo for Godfather's extra-wide The Underground BBS was drawn by Zeus II and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection. (The power armour worn by the bounty hunter on the right renders the scene eligible for the theme!)

MIST0526/TGH-HDIL

 Mistigram: you last saw this alien character a bit over a week ago, leading the parade of friendly extraterrestrials departing a flying saucer. They're ready for their close-up now, in high-resolution #pixelart, and want to make sure you get their good side. "How Do I Look, Earthling?" was drawn by The Green Herring and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

MIST0526/CT-IRON_GIANT

 Mistigram: for last month's new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection, Cthulu drew some #ANSIart in tribute to Brad Bird's 1999 animated film adaptation #TheIronGiant, including a slogan drawn from the movie's script. #YouDontHaveToBeAGun

MIST0426/ATONALOSPREY-ARTHUR_C_CLARKE

 Mistigram: naturally there was some overlap in subject matter between our most recent science ficiton-themed MIST0526 artpack and the previous MIST0426, which dealt with books and authors. Here is a #teletext portrait by @atonalosprey from that collection of one of the titans of the genre, #ArthurCClarke, famous for writing Childhood's End, Rendezvous with Rama, and of course 2001: A Space Odyssey.
