Lets see what ants look like: http://images.google.com/images?svnum=100&safe=off&q=ant The one-big-and-one-small eye thing is common in ascii art and usually means "I'm crazy", which might not be the right attitude for a monster... Head attached more or less directly on the body... big head, slim front body, big back body... long legs that go up and then down... head on same level as body... \ \ |__/ _ .-. (o_o)(_`>( ) { }//||\\`-' Better? More like an ant? (I don't see how the legs could be different without ruining the rest of the picture.) > Wand, hammer, and > half-hearted try at a big headed monster thing: > > __ > [__] > [] > [] > [] __ [__\ [] [] [] ___ [H__-\ || || [] > _______ > / _*__\ > | / ''' > \ \____ > \_____/ > / \ Have you read these? http://nerd-boy.net/ http://balder.prohosting.com/eurakart/fuzzball/ -- __ __ _____ _____ ______ __ _ _ _____ __ ||| \ \ ) )/ / \|| | \ \ / / \ \ | \ | || | / / \| ) \ ||.. \ \/ /| |_/| | |_/ /| | | || \ | || || | / \ |.PP. \ / | | \| | | \ \| | | || |\_\| || || | / /\ \ _\/___ \_( \_\__/||_| \_\\_\__/_/ |_| |_||_| \_\__/|(_( \_\ |_______ Troll Spokeswoman _____ http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/ ___|
