We aren't all superskillful elite ascii-makers that can't whip up a piece of art
that will be remember through the times as a classic piece of art in just 30
minutes.

It takes me hours or days (on and off) to complete a large ascii-image.
Small ones like the snowman i can do in a few minutes though

The point is not everybody makes ascii fast , some are slow , slower then you
too.

Don't worry about it !
It's not about how much art you make , but how good it is and how much YOU enjoy
it.
Make art for your own enjoyment and in your own pace and have fun sharing it
with others here ..
THAT is what this group is all about.

There is no pressure on you from us.

Thats just it .. you aren't expected to post a new piece of art in every
message.
I think you take the obligatory part of the OBascii a little to serious.

It's just a nice thing to do when you want a thread to become more on-topic
again or you simply have an idea for a quick doddle.

No it's not .. remember you dont HAVE to make obascii's ..

But it did not come from you and cannot be discussed or diddled upon because
it's already finished .. nor can we credit you for a job welldone because it's
not yours.

If you want to give the people something to look at repost the images in new
threads where they can find them .. and make it somehow fit the season or
current worldsituation .. christmas pictures can stand being reposted around
christmastime f.x , but normally recaps of old art is what we have webpages for.

Thankyou :)

I just got an idea for a simplistic hat .. and then when that was done I decide
to try for a simplistic head .. from there I thought .. hey it's christmas ..
make a snowman!
Besides .. snowmen don't have legs or arms or fingers or any of the hard things
to do.

It took me no longer to make than the post I originally wrote.

The point is you don't have to make a masterpiece .. just draw something simple
and the rest will usually come to you through divine inspiration when you are
doing it , or through someone elses diddles.

Let me try another one :

Obascii :

err let me see .. a pot !

It also looks a little like Nerdboy on the toilet.
