Took me a minute to figure this out, but the orange a:f that appears in all of them is his artist signature. I kept thinking it was either a shape I didn't recognize or a formatting error or something.
These are pretty good! I love all the little details. Some didn't click at first, like I couldn't tell what the wolf was supposed to look like in "three little pigs" — then I realized it's a cartoony close-up of his head and neck, in the image foreground. Once you see it, it's super cute. I think "knight" is very impressive in its economy and detail. Truth be told, I think most of these are unintelligible without their titles printed directly above them. But once you have that to frame the experience it all comes together pretty neatly. A bit like those Magic Eye pictures in a way. Cool!
I like these very micro-scale ASCII. Often it seems like text artists make things too big! No imagination! The ASCII animations are pretty interesting but familiar if you've ever seen Star Wars...

The ASCII animations are pretty interesting but familiar if you've ever seen Star Wars the ASCIIMATION. I wonder who was the first person who thought to try animating text?
I feel like this area is not fully explored in terms of tweaking fps or combining with other tricks? But maybe there's not much more that can be done

Also, the collection of 2400 or so .txt files is also pretty extensive: https://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/
