Thanks! The option was already enabled but not working, the w3m-img package fixed it... I was only expecting place holders and very surprised to see real images rendered, not sure how it's doing this since i'm using urxvt, which doesn't support images AFAIK... is this layered on top via xorg?

Yeah on xorg it just draws a window on top of the terminal. It is a hack but one that works pretty well, it also supports framebuffer and supposedly even Windows. In fact many other terminal tools use w3m-img for image display on the terminal. Though both sixel and kitty protocols are nicer (kitty being as close to ideal as it gets), they're unfortunately not as widely supported.
