That's a very -er- 'nice' beast indeed. Saved it into my
archives (if you don't mind). The parenthesis makes a good
and probably new style for 'human' bodies. Anyway, it's
a brilliant start - in publishing ascii art. ;)

Hi
I have been looking at the stunning drawings in alt.ascii-art for a
while and I have decided to submit my own (humble) contribution.
It started out as a drawing of the Minotaur but ended as a sort of
man/beast. Any comments or suggestions for improvements would be
welcome.

Although in my opinion the eyes look their best in FixedSys. It is as if the open 4 is a bit more "organic" looking than the closed one of fx. Courier. Oh, and the horns are a great improvement!
