Ascii Koala or Cheetah?

Ascii Koala or Cheetah?

alt.ascii-art · 15 messages · 13 Apr 1998 - 20 Apr 1998
Is someone able to draw me an ascii version of a picture of a koala in a
tree <the specific .jpg is at this address>:

http://ds.dial.pipex.com/kindred/wildlife0003.html (picture ak088.jpg)

or...

Ideally an ascii version of a cheetah/female lioness languishing in a
tree with her face resting on one of her forearms (the other arm draped
right over the branch) <the specific .jpg is at this address>:

http://ds.dial.pipex.com/kindred/wildlife0004.html (picture ak041.jpg)


Will be glad of any help!

Cheers,

Kindred.

Ps...I *do* have the signatured copies of Felix's, JGS', and Flump's
spenlid languishing cats...so...any new ones would be greatly
appreciated...! ;]


...any hi-res wallpaper pics of more wildlife, nature, xena, 3D
landscapes and fractals can also be found at the now greatly updated
site below.

Well, this is my first try this -- working directly from photos... but here it is.

This one was harder --- much larger, and I couldn't figure out how to make my fonts small enough to view it all at one time until the very end -- I must say I'm impressed with myself. It's a little less like the photo than the other is... here's hoping my news reader doesn't word-wrap it!

Best if seen small, say lucida sans typewriter size 4....

Well I can *just* about see this one while viewing in the recommended
fonts, but I think it's been word-wrapped, which may explain why?
Anyone know a way of viewing?

Thanks for making the quite impressive effort tho!

Cheers,

>Tell me what you think.

Hey, pretty cool! 
I really love the way you've managed to create the spots, and also the
relaxed manner in which she's draped over the branch. ;]
One thing tho...is her face turned towards us or sideways...?  Probably
my line-wrap playing up again...?

Well Impressive Effort!

So are you the orginal Blue-Leopard then?  I.e blue fur, black spots?  I
wonder if one would be able to do a colour ascii drawing of that, i.e as
a cool sig for your site?  How about a conversion of the ace picture
you've just drawn??? (not posted in this ng of course, cos of the rules
'n' that)

I checked -- it showed on my newsreader, no line wrap, so I don't think
I sent it word-wrapped...

Very *very* good, *especially* for sig-size! :]

>(Kindred, who did the photograph? It's beautiful!)

Well, as a www.xoom.com  member, I wrote off for their images cd and
found these wildlife photos on there.  It came with the clearance that
they were definitely for free publication on the web, so, to save
everyone download time, I blew up the pics and splashed 'em on my page.
Unfortunately, nope, xoom don't identify an author, which is sad,
because such beautiful images deserve some credit. :/

If anyone finds out who *did* take these photos tho, please give me a
shout and I'll put the necessary signature on my page...

Hope that semi- claers things up ;]

Cheers,

Kindred.

I have blue fur, white rosettes. I look somewhat like the sky. :)

I have tons of reg pics of myself on my site... I think I'm getting a bit
vain. But we'll see. :)

You are being far too generous. To me it only seems good if you have
actually seen the photo.

I guess you could view it from that angle.  
However, coming from a person who has absolutely no talent at drawing
anything small, especially with spots, my comments still hold more value
to me than they would to an acomplished artist.  
You have good talent.  Don't knock it.

A harp is a nude piano.


In a previous article, kin...@no.spam.net (Kindred) says:

>A harp is a nude piano.

No! A harp is a nude harpsichord. Plucked, not hammered. Which has
nothing to do with ASCII art, btw. And I'm sure glad I found this
place. Lotsa neat stuff here. And <gasp!> friendly people. Back to 
lurk mode...

  How could I miss this thread?... WoW!!
  That's a good one, Herman.

I guess the mystery of the horizontal line will be solved, when I get a grip on
the original jpeg... :)
