First Attempt at ASCII Art --- Dragon
alt.ascii-art
· 5 messages · 31 May 1999 - 1 Jun 1999
In a fit of insomnia last night I decided to try my hand at creating a
bit of ASCII art. Originally I wanted a lil dragon for my signature but
it..heh heh... kinda grew on it's own. (^_^)'
Anyway, I woke up (very late) today to discover I had written the entire
dragon using GENEVA! (O_o) Suffice it to say, it didn't convert over to
Courier or any other fixed fonts very well. (-_-)'
Anyway, I redid the entire dragon in Courier... and here he is!
Personally I think my Geneva dragon was MUCH better then this one over
all, but this version has much better wings.

The first, seventh, and tenth lines were doing something funky but adding a period at the top left corner seems to have fixed everything.
