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/TGHRV26B

 Mistigram: drawn in just under four hours for the Oldskool Graphics Compo at the Revision 2026 demoparty (where it placed 11th), this #pixelart piece, "Snake Dance", was made by The Green Herring and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0526 artpack collection.

 Mistigram: here's hoping you all had a better #ValentinesDay than this #pixelart character illustrated in greyscale by C00K13_M0N5T3R_ , included in the MIST0221 artpack collection released five years ago this month.

MIST0220/EMME_DOBLE-LOVEBIRDS

 Mistigram: Emme Doble has since moved on to a different visual art beat, but back in the day she was effortlessly drawing tight #pixelart compositions such as this portrait of two romantic lovebirds canoodling. This piece was included in the MIST0220 artpack collection released six years ago this month!

MIST0117/PHIL-MAINWARING-STARDOT_AVATAR critters

 Mistigram: In an incredible, sprawling 70k animated GIF consisting of 254 basically #1bit monochrome screens Phil Mainwaring had drawn himself, mostly adaptations of the logos, mascots or slogans of vintage computing and technology companies, five of the designs featured these curious one-bit chimerae, part ant and part anteater. I can't place them, but we included them in that telephone book of a GIF in the MIST0117 artpack collection nine years ago this month.

MIST1025/BLIPPYPIXEL-ALCHEMIST

 Mistigram: this animated #BBCMicro high resolution graphics #pixelart loop of an #alchemist surrounded by his bubbling kit was drawn by @blippypixel and included in last month's spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

MIST0719/MENTALPOP-DEVILMAN_MARSHMALLOW

 Mistigram: I'm not qualified to explain exactly why Mentalpop drew this #pixelart portrait of a character from the #Devilman #anime (this looks to be #RyoAsuka) as a toasted marshmallow, but if I had to speculate they figured it would be silly fun. And it is! This piece was included in the TV-themed MIST0719 artpack collection released six years ago.

MIST1320/EMME_DOBLE-SAILOR_MOON

 Mistigram: many years ago, Emme Doble specialised in a kind of cozy chibi #pixelart aesthetic. (They are still a hugely prolific visual artist in an entirely different idiom.) Five years ago we shared her portrait of #anime hero Usagi (#SailorMoon) in the TV-themed MIST1320 artpack collection.

MIST0920/FARRELL_LEGO-SPIRITED_AWAY-NO_FACE

IMBIBE01/GJ-FOOD_GANG

 Mistigram: when @grymmjack heard we were planning a food-related release (the new IMBIBE01 e-mag), he prepared an incredible #pixelart spread! I don't know if the members of this 'food gang' are going to go quietly, but even if not... it's going to work up quite an appetite!

MIST0319/WEBERSSO.N-SISTERLOVE

 Mistigram: this #perlerbeads physical #pixelart composition, "Sisterlove", was made by @webersso.n and included in the all-women MIST0319 artpack collection released six years ago this month. Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
