If you're curious about ANSI/ASCII art, try these editors: PabloDraw (http://picoe.ca/products/pablodraw/) or Moebius (https://blocktronics.github.io/moebius/).
ACiDDraw, TheDraw or whatever odd editor people are recommending here, are either not supported any longer or do not serve the same purpose.
now i can finally make some quality NFTs
This is really cool! Seems like a good start. If you're looking for suggestions, I'd like to be able to choose background and foreground colors as well as use a larger paintbrush. Maybe the tool could use different ascii characters for blending and dithering?
Not the creator. Checkout other things made by the same person at http://generators.alienmelon.com/ They all have 90s vibes. Even in this ASCII paint too, apart from the blue gradient and dos like font, there is something else too with the text style or may be surprise element when drawing that gives old vibes.

Sure, it's from 1999 (and earlier) but this immediately reminded me of ACiD Draw.

ACiD Productions is a digital art group founded in 1990. If you're into ascii art you might dig their work.

ANSI/ASCII art was the aesthetic of the pre-internet BBS era. Text graphics was the best you could do over a slow modem link at the time.
Later on we even had vector graphics (anyone remember RipTerm?) which were pretty cool (despite the slow transfer speed) because the limited speed meant you got to watch it progressively draw.

That in turn reminds me of TheDraw, which I remember in lieu of Acid Draw. Maybe a regional thing?
