Very nice, Joan! I especially like the 9 line mermaids in your sig.
(Those are mighty big fish in the six line mermaid pictures!)

This is indeed a challenge! I tried altering the mermaids that I had
already done. (I wonder if you could do something the same, Joan with
your 9 liners?)

Ack--  I **really** prefer making the larger
pics...  here are a couple 6 liners.. (ok, one is 
just a 5-liner)... Personally I like the 9-liner
in the sig better...  I've said it before, the small
ASCII pics are the most difficult...  IMO

Joan, I turned your 6 line mermaid around. I think her tail looks a
little better that way. I hope you don't mind.

And speaking of that, I have now altered my incomprehensible 4 line
mermaid to become an incomprensible very long tressed 6 line mermaid.

Maybe if I remind you by showing the first incomprehensible 3-line
mermaid, you'll be able to squint your eyes enough to make her out.

Hi all!
> ! If possible, can someone do a 6 line mermaid??? 
Well i'm also new to ascii-art (and so to this group too) but 
anyway i gave it a try and came up with this version of a 6-line
mermaid:


1                            ,*@*@*@*.
2                           ((((d.d))))
3                 ,---.__ (^(^)) ~/)))
4              _.' ,-._  `-'. <^\`\_'_
5            .;_, (    `.     _) `---;^)
6            '   `)'     `----'        `


(Dunno if mermaids really have a navel? it's on the "boundary" :))
BTW i have been viewing ascii-art and your group for some weeks, and
i like it very much!

cheers,
Kronome Gergely.

 That's certainly striking and characterful; perhaps a little ugly?
 (the ~ mouth makes her look variously angry, sarcastic, etc).

I really like your boat and the two characters for your water too.
That water is pretty calm for an ocean or lake though.
