Weak Ghoul, Tepid Porcuipine

Hi-

I am working on an ASCII art role playing game (development took a
backseat to work for a while, but now it's on) and things are going
very well.  Anyway, I need a ghoul and a porcuipine (who doesn't!) and
have come up with these as prototypes:

<PRE>
     _
    (") ,,
   _//_//
 // \\
''   \\
    //\\
  _//  \\_

 \\\\\
 ---oo\
 //////

</PRE>

The ghoul I think is not so bad, but the porcuipine looks like a fish
skeleton wearing glasses.  Does anyone have any suggestions for
improvement on these?  I am limited in space so need to keep the ASCII
art small, while still retaining the ghoulish and porcuipinishness of
the characters.

Also, does this look like a ninja to you?

do a search on a-a-a for stickmen, stick men, ninjas, karate
it should give some very good examples and ideas.

your welcome

LG-

Thanks for the extra ghouls!  They are cute, and the smaller ones are
the right size for the game.  The trap door thingy has a really good
look, I may have to use that one.

And, the big porcuipine is excellent, good quillage.

You rock, thanks for the ideas and suggestions.

Diane.

Why can't you spell porcupine?
Ivan

OL-

No apologies needed.  I like it, although it looks more like an
anklosaurus.
We could use an anklosaurus!

Yep, I expect a release date at XGiving, although if you are interested
I can let you in to mess around with it in a few weeks to see what it's
like.

Thanks for the old critters and weapons.  The "owly" thing is already
in the game, the crab I will use too.  Thanks!


Diane.

P.S. Oh, the game is online, HTML based, and uses preformatted text. So
as far as the font, it's whatever your browser chooses to use for
<PRE>.  Not sure if I can force fixedys or any other font...

P.P.S  I am not planning to make any money off the game, it's just for
fun. I will be crediting all the ASCII art I use, so as to give props
where props are due.  If anyone doesn't want their are used in an
online multiplayer old school DnD style game, I will not use it.

These are reminding me a lot of ToeJam.  Now you just
