I like critisism.  It is how one gets better.

The butterflies aren't ment to blow minds.  One does not blow minds by
taking vibrant creatures and reducing them to ascii and removing all
of there colors.  I do the butterflies because it is a challange to do
one and get it as acurate as possible givin the low bit nature of
ascii art.  The mind blowing part comes latter when I finish the
searies and There are over one hundred of them together.  When all the
parts become a collection.  One large ascii project.  Part of the
trick is to maintain the same "style" over the course of the year(s)
that it will take to finish these.  Even if I want to play around with
one and do it in a more stylized manor I can't.  The /idea/ of the
colection would be damaged by that.  

Now with the pr0n I can do the same drawing 3 different ways in any
style I want and throw caution to the wind.  I can do part of a girl
or the whole girl or add a tail or some wings or do whatever I like.
The only rule I have there is that the vast majority of them should be
no wider than 72 chars.  Which is very limiting in that it means that
most of them ar standing since forshortening something as recognizable
as the human form without messing it up just isn't easy in ascii.  If
one limb is a little short or a little wide or a little long or
anything outside of perfect perportion then the brain says "something
is wrong" and the art is ruined.   So I have to be a touch picky but
I am a lot more free with that then the butterflies. 

And I often have my mind blown because of lgbeard's industrial works.
They are about as unbutterfly as things can be so while I am posting
very organic items and he is posting very geometric ones.  Makes for a
nice contrast.

I liked the number orented one that ws posted.  Can't remember if it
was a prime or PI but it was good.  These more recent ones haven't
done a whole lot for me.

I like diddling.  It has been a long time since someone diddled one of
my works though.
