An ANSI art portrait of the once-forgotten prospective mascot of Linux, Xenia! Oh, and the "official" mascot Tux the Penguin over in the back.

This was done in the default 9x16 font of IBM computers in the correct aspect ratio for the time (4:3), and was done through a process that took more time than it should've due to my art program not natively supporting "legacy" aspect ratios. This was prior to me figuring out how to use ShaderGlass to make the process easier.

Xenia was created by Alan Mackey in 1996. This image uses the 2019 redesign by cathodegaytube. You can find out more about Xenia, and see more art of her, at xenia-linux-site.glitch.me/.
