There are quite a few editors purpose-built for editing ansi art, for instance Playscii, which I was able to import the paint icon into and tweak to get this 4x4 character drawing:

(no CRT effect:) 4x4-final-no-crt (CRT effect:)

paint-4x4.ans

Yes but it would be nice to have an integrated feature with jspaint (since its an awesome clone of mspaint) and faster. Would be nice to have an option that automatically generates best mirc code for the image. Thanks.

I agree it would be cool to have this in JS Paint. I'd love it if one day JS Paint could adapt to different file formats, like showing/editing all the pages of a PDF, the frames of an animated GIF, etc. It's probably not going to happen any time soon, however...

If you want to make ANSI art using an MS Paint like interface, I made a whole separate recreation of MS Paint, that runs in the terminal, and edits ANSI art: Textual Paint. With your ticket in mind, I added support for exporting mIRC codes from Textual Paint, by saving with a .mirc or .irc file extension. (These file extensions I just made up, and are not to be confused with .mrc mIRC script files.)
