[Q] Is this ASCII art?

[Q] Is this ASCII art?

I'm on a message board that has recently started to draw pictures in ascii,
but they are all using the boards default Ariel font. Is this considered
ASCII art, and if not, why not?

I've made a few of them...mostly diddles you can see mine as well as a few
of the better ones at the link below (NOTE: If it not ASCII ~!PLEASE!~ do
not go there flaming them for their ignorance. If it is...well cool :))
