Would such a thing allow the creation of a complete terminal fronted for webkit or so? I would love to be able to do all my browsing from the terminal.

Even if it could the quality of images would be abysmal, if even useful.

There are options for browsing in the terminal such as lynx, links, and w3m, obviously they don't have graphics support.

It's possible to view images in certain terminals, with w3m.

Screenshot is xterm. Also supposedly works with urxvt, but I can't get it to work correctly.

w3m has always opened images in an external program for me. I'll have to check out how to do this! :)
Put a trigger warning on that anime, please.
I can't speak for the others, but w3m definitely has graphics support.
phantom already does a full headless web kit browser. with screen shot capabilities.
