Re: [PIC] Failed ascii pic

No.  Very seldom use a conversion program.  And if I do I sing it with
something like :AAlib:F_P:.  I /think/ the last one I did like that was
when I was having problems with the DRI logo in this one from MOT #35:
                                             
                 _o.vv,,v._.                 
           ../&6S<'^"-^-"^+&6Ho,             
        .,?bb'        ._      "#MHb.         
      :oH&'          ?/R<\       "&Mb        
     ,&M'          .&6k<6HH.       "MMb.     
    /MT           .d&H' `4MH,        9MH     
   JM/   _#MMH\   dMH*    `*?         HMb

   TMM..   `":     9MMM, ,MMMMH*'    .MMM    
   `HMH\.          `MMMb` `#*"'     ,HMP'    
     `MMb:.         TMMM!         .dMM*      
      `*MMH<.       `HMM}'     .:dMM#`       
        `*MMMHo:.. .. `'' .o:oHHMM*'         
           `*9MMMM#H#o###HMMMMH$?'           
                `:AAlib:F_P:'                

I don't like the way most gifsciied drawings turn out.  I didn't like
they way the one above turned out so I hand edited a lot of it.  Less
than one in a hundred ascii by me contain any form of conversion
program. 

I do a fair amount of tracing though.  It helps get the proportions
correct without spending hours and also helps get the level of detail
I want.  The red panda (both of them) was done completely by hand with
some tracing.  For the 'white' parts I just stuck with seemingly
random @#$% and when I remembered I used the occasinal & in there as
well.  So it may look 'gifsciied' but it isn't.
