I used to use Figlet and TheDraw, waaay back when, to draw things like this (though nowhere near as good as these examples). Fun times.

These days it looks like PabloDraw might be the way to go.

REXPaint (https://www.gridsagegames.com/rexpaint/) is really excellent for this sort of thing.

I'm actively working on a VisiData-based drawing tool that a) uses unicode (including full-width chars), b) supports 256-colors, c) supports animations, and d) works in the terminal. It's called DarkDraw and is already making it easier to create modern terminal art.

Oh, man... The Draw brings back memories. Thanks for the pointer to PabloDraw.
