There is another Grimreaper; that I have saved from somewhere; probably
#asscii on IRC because the version I have has Cntrl k 14,1
all down the left off it and if you play it on an IRC channel it looks
reeeeeeeeelly spooky. Bye the bye ; whatever happened to #asscii
they weren't there last time I popped in for a visit.
Cheers from Muz

Found a little time to finish... I'm still not 100% happy with it's left
hand...

So, I diddled a little on this. I recently saw the movie 'The Frighteners' which featured a really cool computer-animated Grim Reaper. It looked more like this: (bigger claws, unseen face, bigger weapon (what's it called?)) .""--..__ _ [] ``-.._ .'` `'. ||__ `-._ / ,-.\ ||_ ```---..__ `-. / / \\ /|//} ``--._ `. | | || |////} `-. \ | | || _ //'/// `.\ | | || _.-`\`\// |' `| jgs / | |/ .-` \//\ || hh /` | |`-` |/ \ || /` \ | || \ ||| /` \ | || | /|| |` \ | |) \ | || | \| / ,.__. \| || / /` `\ | || | / \ / || | | |/ || / / | ( || / . / ) || | \ | ________|| / | / `-------.| |\ / | || \/`-._ | / || // `. /` | || //`. `. | \ || ///\ `-._ )/ | || //// ) .(/ | || |||| ,'` ) / // |||| / / || `\\` /` | // |` \ || / | // /` \ // /` | || `-.___,-. .-. ___,' (/ `---'` `'----'` Greetz, -- _____ _ _ _ ,-'`. | __| |_|_|_____ ___ ___ _| | _ _ _ _ ___ ,'`.,-'`. |__ | | | | _| . | . | | \ / \ |\| ' | /`.,'`.,-'`. |_____|_|_|_|_|_|_|_| |___|___| |_/ \_/ | | | (`./`-,'`.,-'`. _ _ _ _ _ _ \.\.( `,'`.,-' Herman Hiddema |_) /| |\| | / ` )`\ |.|`,' Venuslaan 147 c | /"| | | | \_, ,' \/`) /.| 9742 KN Groningen ,-'"`-. / \,'\/`( ( The Netherlands //// / @ @ \ \\\\ \,'`./`./`.\ tel. 050-5775373 \ :=| ,._,. |=: / \ ,'\ /\ ) mailto:csg...@wing.rug.nl || ,\ \_../ /. || \ ,; \,' http://huizen.dds.nl/~shimrod/ ||','`-._))'`.`|| `: \.' `-' (/ `-' `./ Now there's a man who knows where his towel is!

That's not a weapon, it's a tool. (I don't know the name in English but
it's called "lie" in Swedish, and yes, I own one, it's very good for
cutting grass that's too long for the lawnmower to handle...)

Here's a very small Grim Reaper:

I tweaked what Shimrod did a bit... I added shading for the face area
and unevened the hood and cowl a bit.
btw, the tool is called a scythe, I believe. And it is used for
reaping...
Hence, a grim "reaper"... :)

Scythe (that may be spelt wrong). They're also fun for scaring little
