I found the "gradient" style picture of the girl's face beautiful, I found the "gradient" style picture of the flamenco dancer not as beautiful, but Stanislaw is planning to repaint the latter picture. Intuitively, I would say that the gradient style is predestined for still life pictures, and portraits should play a prominent place here. Perhaps Stanislaw should try to portrait Einstein. Another area of application that seems to lend itself to the gradient style is that of dual pictures like the one that shows the ugly face of an old woman and the head of a pretty young lady in one and the same interwoven pic. Depicting motion solely with the gradient style will be difficult, if possible at all, at the low resolution of ascii pics of less than a hundred characters across. The flamenco dancer has used elements of the solid style to depict motion. It may be more purposeful to use elements of the line style to depict motion in the form of swirls, swishes and similar. In any case, the gradient style is a new style equivalent to the solid and line styles in ascii art. My congrats to Stanislaw! ================================================================ [] [] [] /( )\ Visit the Gallery of the 'steins!
