Hi Stefanie,

This artwork may look good on your system, but it doesn't on mine,
because you used a proportional font. You probably used Arial or
Times, but in those fonts, not all characters or the same width.
To make ASCII-art you should use a fixed width font like eg: Courier,
Courier New, Fixed or Monaco. That way, everyone can see your art.

Hoping to see more of your work soon,
