Jason Scott Text-urizedby `roy-sac

Digital Art / Typography / Miscellaneous

First, yes an image to text converter was used. I did NOT draw this ASCII image of Jason Scott from textfiles.com. I used the online converter tool Photo2Text.com.

However, there is more to it then just grab the next best photograph and run it through a converter and that's it.

Results vary heavily depending on the settings, characters used and most important... the source photograph.

I had to tweak it quite a bit to get the desired results. Once I got what I was looking for, I converted the ASCII back to an image and continued to tweak it in Photoshop. I added the colors, the background and the name tag.

All in all a few hours of work, which requires more than just technical skills. Please see this picture as what it is and not write it off, because it wasn't hand drawn. I might be an oldskool artists where some say "a good one", but I am and never was THAT good. I do fonts and suck at images. I wish I could have hand drawn it, but I am not capable of doing it.

More about this picture and the converter used at my blog at this [link]

End of story.

I quite enjoy it. Mostly because of the fact that it's Jason Scott as the subject. Not many people on dA are going to get the significance of that. The text art collector

Ask any artist about “emptiness&#x 201D; and they’ll tell you about the constant recurring nightmarish emptiness they must face down almost every day as a part of their vocation: the blank space that they must fill. Whether he’s a painter facing a blank canvas or she’s...

A lot of people tell me they like the way I color! It's pretty easy once you learn the tricks. I made a set color palette for each character (keeping their base colors consistent in any setting), then add shading and lighting effects over the image.Here is Gabrielle's color swatch palette:A...
