That is what I am thinking. Looking at the larger perspective snowball–flakes, there are 4-5 variations of the same 90° arc going from bottom to middle rjght. I don't think there are that many of the same arcs at slightly different radii (radiuses?) in ASCII but I could be wrong. Or it could be the low res.

It's not strictly ASCII--look at the cat's mouth. But outside of using non-ascii, it looks inline with what was on usenet's art.ascii.art in the 90s. I could believe this was made by hand, possibly with a character-art specific drawing tool.
