Line: tonight's doodlings

	I was watching a Japanese program, and tonight's topic was
about handwriting & calligraphy.  Behind the hosts was a large "ji"
which means "character", (letter) so I thought I'd give it a try.
First was my "old" style of drawing....

	...bleaugh.  So then I turned to the other style which I
learned from studying Normand's drawings.  Looks _much_ better (as
compared to the above) could use some touching up though (but I
probably never will. =^)

	And, with Appleworks still fired up, I decided to try and
tackle a friend's request again, do a NeoGeo pic for his .sig file.
I couldn't come up with anything decent for him, (decent by my
standards, dunno about his...) but I ended up with these:

	The first is the "100 Mega Shock!" logo which turns up on
the screen for many recent NeoGeo games which were pushing 100 megs
in size.  The latter is the logo for Alpha Denshi Corporation, a
developer for SNK.  Known for the World Heroes games, among others.
...the "K" came out really ugly.
	...as kinda of an optical illusion, which of the two appears
to occupy more lines?

	More later, maybe, I was thinking of trying out other
Kanji characters.
