Request: Help needed with horse sig

Request: Help needed with horse sig

rec.arts.ascii · 5 messages · 6 Feb 1995 - 10 Feb 1995
	Hi folks, I've got a friend who wants to add a 4-line horse to 
her sig.  Here's what we've got so far, but we want to improve on it if 
possible.  Anyone with some suggestions, please feel free to add to it, 
thanks.

(My first ever attempt at playing with ascii stuff.)

 |  ,;`( )__, )^\|     |  
 | //  //   `--; ~     |  
 |      \    |         | 

I've changed the tail to make it look a bit "livelier", moved the back
leg forward a bit since I think it looks better, changed the elbow to point
the other way, and added the end of the nose.  Hope you like it, and get 
lots of other suggestions about it.

Jenny

BTW, thanks to whoever it was who postied the ascii "hobbes", that I stole
for my sig.

What about the horse in my sig?

: What about the horse in my sig?

Very nice, but can't use it.  Freenet only allow 4 lines in the .sig file.
Here's what we came up with..


1           _ __,;;;,      
2        ,;( )_, )~\|     
3       ;; //  `--;        
4       '  ;\   |          

What'd you think?  Any improvements or ideas to add?

: What about the horse in my sig?

Very nice.  Can't use it though since the freenet only allows a 4-line 
maximum for a .sig file.  Here's what we've come up with so far:


Mr. Ed
           _ __,;;;,      
        ,;( )_, )~\|     
       ;; //  `--;        
       '  ;\   |          
      

A Jumper
       -   _ __,;;;,      
     -  ,;( )_, )~\|     
    -  ;; //  `--; ___      
       '  \        |#|  
                      
What'd you think?  Any other improvements?
