No that was the third leg , that I removed. The T-REX is viewed from the side ,
so the leg on the side facing us will block the leg facing the side we cannot
see.

By placing another visible leg and still having the little arms with claws this
brings the total to 6 legs .. which is not my idea of a T-REX.

We should only to be able to see 1 leg and one arm, and maybe a small partial
bit of the leg and arm on the other side of the T-REX.

I tried to do that with the ` in :

`\\

I meant for the ` to define the belly but also realised that the same char could
also be seen as a small partially revealed part of the leg on the other side ..
like a knee or something.
So in that way I hit 2 birds with 1 stone.

I know some fonts place the ~ char high .. but I always try to avoid it because
it does not show the same way in different fonts.

and so does a and c and g and d and p and q .. and HEY! - mm , ww and ## looks

3D effect ?? .. what 3D effect ?
It seems I'm a 3D-disabled person .. I can't "magic-eye" and now this.

To me cQ just looks like one eye is bigger than the other .. in others words :
The T-REX looks like a freak of nature ( thankfully no-one will ever call him
named .. cuz if they did .. they'ed be eaten. )

I mean your t-rex is a humpback.
the back on mine curves more .. and still not enough but it was hard to do
better than that.

ofcourse i had to base this knowledge of other peoples impressions of how a
T-rex look as .. thankfully .. no one have ever seen a live T-REX.
