REQ: swimmer and runner

REQ: swimmer and runner

alt.ascii-art · 12 messages · 8 Sep 2000 - 16 Sep 2000
I am looking for a swimmer and a runner to match the biker I have at the
bottom of this email. (If you haven't guessed yet, I want a triathlon
theme for my .sig file.) Preferably something in which the person is
relatively the same size in all three images.
Please do not post replies here but rather email them to
set...@astro.ucla.edu.
TIA!

Here's the runner:

    o
   /\   
  /\ ~
 < <  


Here's the swimmer:

    < o      
~~~~_/~>~~~~
       

Can't say that they are that good, but at least its a start.

Hmmmm... Let's see. This kind of motivates me to do my first
ascii-"art... ;-)

Nope. Ask here, read here.

> (_)/ (_)

   _o
  //\_
  /\
 / /  Hmm... This is .sig-sized and about the rigth size. Looks kinda
 slow, though...

    _o
   //\_
 __/\
     \
        Hmmm... better, I think.

Alas, I am definitely not a swimming fan (and got really pi***d off
trying to find a way to draw one ;-O) so I didn't do swimmer - but I'm
sure someone will...

another alteration:

     _o
    \/\/
   \/\
      \
        
and here is what I came up with before seeing the other replies:

    \\           __o        o 
     \o       _ \<,_      </v
      ``     (_)/ (_)     v\


                __o         o   
              _ \<,_      </v   
    _\_(o_   (_)/ (_)     v\

Very nice. I like it!

Two down, one to go. Anyone have any more attempts at a small swimmer?
Thanks to everyone who has posted contributions so far!

Diddle of the runner, and an attempt at a swimmer.
