Enclosed are two pictures, One is converted by the Program, the other is
converted
Manually by hand by me... Please comment how it can be/could be made better
in terms
of smoothening the curves, shading...

TIA,

Shit! I kind of missed the real credits while saving the date and the 
explanation. This Phoenix is of course by CJRandall aka cjr (with
lines by miK/VK). Added cjr in the above.

Taliszanna: Of course I don't mind you posting my URL a zillion times
but _please_ use the _new_ URL instead : www.ascii-art.de . The
one you are using now will not be working for much longer. Thanks.

I find it VERY stable (incredible considering is M$ .. hope they make it a
tradition) and a little slower than the other Windows versions .. which I can
live with since stability matters more to me.

I also run a linux box and a linux shell account so if anyone feels to need to
convince of linux's superiority .. don't - I'm already a believer. I just use
whatever OS suits the purpose.

Erm....Windows compatibility?  Oh, wait, there's Wine (www.winehq.com).

POSIX compliance?  No, Linux has that, too.

COM?  Maybe.  I do like the idea of IIOP, though, and I'll have
to see if I can get back into it again (I dabbled in it for
my own amusement some time ago, and it's fairly easy to work
with but does require knowledge of IDL).

Standards?  In spades, although it depends to some extent on
what one calls a "standard", as MS Word is also a standard,
because of its de facto standard nature.  But it's not
very well documented. :-)  By contrast, HTML, XML, SGML,
TeX, and such are very standardized.

Speed?  My understanding at this time is that XP is *slower* than
Win2k -- and Win2k wasn't noted for its high speed, although it
was faster than NT.

The only thing XP has that Linux doesn't is the respect given to an
entity manufactured/developed/designed by a firm which is tops in
an industry in sales.  And Linux might have that soon, if it
doesn't already -- IBM in particular is supporting Linux, as well
as HP, and Dell and Compaq in their own ways, as well.

WINE is good , but it's not THAT good.

There is still reason to run Windows until Linux can run all the programs
Windows can (and more) while being just as easy (or easier) to use and setup.

Yes .. by huge a 1 -> 3 percent - On MY maschine .. YMMV

You forgot about hardware compability btw.

Good ascii art there.  Now if you can make one of a Tyranosaurus Rex.

I don't know if the shading worked out all that well, but I'm pretty satisfied
with the T-REX itself.

Its a Cola private joke I suppose, but one of our most
distinguished posters "T" Max Develin has often been
described as a 10 ton Dinasaur, in the way he just
rips into posters (mainly on alt.destroy.microsoft),
and Drsquare was thinking of using Max in his cartoon series>

You ascii artists rule btw, I'm just a stick figure artist
myself!

both views are excellent, I didnt like the 8oo in the (pictures) left arm though,,,

Yea, I know, I'm the one who suggested the idea to begin with.  I like
your work, I just think it is a bit hard to tell what it is supposed to
be, overloaded with the glasses and the goatee and the troll-in-mouth.

I liked the "Jurassic Park" dinosaur the best.  If you just gave that a
ponytail, and changed the car to drstrange's flatfish or a troll, that
would be really killer.

Thanks for your time.  Hope it helps.

: Sigs shouldn't be so big, though. We need a T-rex with a beard and
: glasses stomping a troll, and it all has to fit in four lines. :oP

I have been trying for the last hour to do a four line T-rex with a ponytail ,
glasses and goatee , stomping a wintroll..

It's HARD .. it's VERY hard!
Considering that then brojeks try is very good .. only problem is it's soo
compact that in order to see what it is you have to KNOW what it should be
before viewing it !

A potential problem .. especially with a signature.

Maybe it would be easier if we tried to do a dino gnarling at a windows logo -
the windows logo can be done in 4 lines and not having to do all thoose details
frees you up to do a much nicer dino.

Perhaps a diddle of theese wonderful little dragons Bertram Felgenhauer made
could be formed into a T-REX. :

Cute aren't they ?
.. They always remind me of the lil' green Mozilla dragon

Oh, fuck me.

>A potential problem .. especially with a signature.

Anyone who knows me should know that 'Thanks for your time.  Hope it
helps.' (and recently the 'love -- max ' thing) are my signature.  This
is just a sig, and I think it is perfect.

Yes, but then we'd have to spend months on flamewars over 'bwah-ha' or
'guffaw'.  This'll work.

Thanks for your time.  Hope it helps.

Oh, Fuck!!!  That's amazing!

Very impressive Veronica!

We'll have to keep this in archives, I hope you don't mind.  It is
beautiful, but can't be reduced to a sig.

Or can it??  ;-D

There's more than one way to "reduce a sig". You can reduce the size,
or you can simply use it less often. Here are a couple of sigs I've
made which were used _all the time_ (OK, those guys are trolls, but...)

I asked somebody who didn't know what that's supposed to be and
his guess was: "a bird sitting on a branch or maybe a squirrel
on a motorcycle".   :-)

I can't help think of an annoying little puppy dog running around
yapping, but I suppose now that I've said that I'll have to find
another.  Do you think you can improve on it, Veronica?  I just can't go
big; I'm enough of a troll already.  For now, I'll just point out it is
supposed to be a T. Rex with glasses, a goatee, and a ponytail.  Not a
squirrel on a motorcycle <*chuckle*>.  ;-D

Thanks for your time.  Hope it helps.

Umm, nice try.  But WinDOS is, unfortunately (for all concerned), my OS.
It eats itself as a bedtime snack, cuz if I don't reboot it regularly it
shits the bed, but I like the overall imagery, with the 'T-MAX'
incorporated in the tail.  The troll has to be puny, though, or it just
doesn't work.

Well, the T. Rex ain't too bad at all, but it still seems kind of dorkey
next to my little guy, I think.  And why does a troll look like a snail?
They're skittering creatures, not snails.  Little squealing weasels.  I
hate them.

Just kidding.  (The ASCII portrait looks a lot like me, but the T. Rex
don't.)  But thanks anyway, he looks pop-eyed and bow-legged, and the
troll is still way too big.

Where did you get the idea it needs to be a stick man?  I'm a dinosaur
and trolls get to be stickmen?  No, no, just making them squirming
little weasels, of some sort.

Great but there is still room for improvement.
I rediddled that into something much (IMO) clearer

A blue_screen again?!      _ee=-.__
     (_|  O               '^^`).,  `.____
     [__]_ )_|             `"" '\( ,_.-'`
     |   |d| |                   `\\

I borrowed the Nerdboy character from Joaquims Nerdboy cartoon, and used him to
illustrate the luser.
I made the back of the T-REX smoother and more true to the correct form.
I then removed the extra pair of legs it had .. T-REX's have 2 big thick legs to
support it's weight and 2 little arms with claws.
Then I smoothed the belly of the T-REX.
I altered the mouth to make it smaller and give a stronger apearence of teeth..
in the process i lost the goatee , as it would not bring the drawing closer to a
recognisible T-REX.
Finally changed the eyes

You can do several variations on the eyes that work good:

huh.. _  GPF ?             _aa=-.__
     (_|  O               '^^`).,  `.____
     [__]_ )_|             `"" '\( ,_.-'`
     |   |d| |                   `\\

      _ PEBKAC ??          _cc=-.__
     (_|  O               '^^`).,  `.____
     [__]_ )_|             `"" '\( ,_.-'`
     |   |d| |                   `\\

You can do several other good variations on the eyes using other chars.

but where did t-max's goatee go? and his pony tail?

diddle:



A blue_screen again?!      _Oo=='__   GNAAARRHHH
     (_|  O               '^^`).,  `.____
     [__]_ )_|             `"V '\( ,_.-'`
     |   |d| |                   `\\



the V is his goatee.. however he could only be drooling :)

You could say the goatee was in the "" chars as theese could both be seen as
teeth and as a small beard.
his ponytail is the = char on his head .. the rest of the ponytail either
follows the body or hang down on the side you cant see.

Oggly eyes , a huge unsightly tooth (he should get dental care) and a ponytail
that defies gravity and points upwards ?

> the V is his goatee.. however he could only be drooling :)

If you need to make the goatee bigger use #

A blue_screen again?!      _ee=-.__
     (_|  O               '^^`).,  `.____
     [__]_ )_|             `"# '\( ,_.-'`
     |   |d| |                   `\\

I still think my first version looks better though.. if you consider the
proportions in this image then his goatee is HUGE.

The ASCII portrait is actually Joaquims self-portrait .. thats how HE looks.

Hey!

I've used a one-line sig for about six zillion posts.  Does that mean
I now have credit to once post an eighteen-zillion-line sig?

Well, no big wonder, I'd say, you got Melbourne placed in the wrong

Well, well, that _is_ better. I have to admit that it looks way more
aggressive without the second leg. But of course that was the _second_
leg (stick legs would not do compared to the body). Using the
~ was just a fancy try anyway - looks good with _my_ fonts! The e-eyes
look cooler but I like the 3D effect of the cQ better - and the "correct
form" you are talking about is something I don't follow either.
Incorrect but mine - this will be my final version (just T-Rex, no
T-Max):

Seeing as this thread has been crossposted between c.o.l.a and a.a-a for

No that was the third leg , that I removed. The T-REX is viewed from the side ,
so the leg on the side facing us will block the leg facing the side we cannot
see.

By placing another visible leg and still having the little arms with claws this
brings the total to 6 legs .. which is not my idea of a T-REX.

We should only to be able to see 1 leg and one arm, and maybe a small partial
bit of the leg and arm on the other side of the T-REX.

I tried to do that with the ` in :

`\\

I meant for the ` to define the belly but also realised that the same char could
also be seen as a small partially revealed part of the leg on the other side ..
like a knee or something.
So in that way I hit 2 birds with 1 stone.

> Using the

I know some fonts place the ~ char high .. but I always try to avoid it because
it does not show the same way in different fonts.

and so does a and c and g and d and p and q .. and HEY! - mm , ww and ## looks
like sunglasses :D

3D effect ?? .. what 3D effect ?
It seems I'm a 3D-disabled person .. I can't "magic-eye" and now this.

To me cQ just looks like one eye is bigger than the other .. in others words :
The T-REX looks like a freak of nature ( thankfully no-one will ever call him
named .. cuz if they did .. they'ed be eaten. )


> - and the "correct
> form" you are talking about is something I don't follow either.

I mean your t-rex is a humpback.
the back on mine curves more .. and still not enough but it was hard to do
better than that.

ofcourse i had to base this knowledge of other peoples impressions of how a
T-rex look as .. thankfully .. no one have ever seen a live T-REX.

I can see that .. I think you did a good job, now the t-rex have a ponytail , a
small goatee and you could also view the aa's as glasses .. success - A 4-line
t-rex with glasses, goatee and ponytail!

You also cut away a _ from it's back .. I don't know if this was by accident or
not , but by leaving it blank you give the appearence of a more smooth curve.
I like it. Some will see it as a hole in the back though.

          _aa=.=_           .--------------------.
         '^^`)., `._____    | Beer is proof      |

                            `--------------------'

I wanted to make add the _ char but found out that if you adjusted the other
chars to fit then you get a slimmer T-REX .. you can use this sometime in spring
when you have shaked the winter-fat.

Here is the big T-REX again.

Cute. I like those feet (and don't really stay in 4 lines very often 
anyway). But the arms are rather small now, don't you think. Maybe
whith smaller feet and more arms?


                            _cQ=-.__                       
                           '^^`)-., `\___,

Why not. Well, micro art _is_ fun!
