This fits the larger bill--
I made this within the past month- actually with Aardvarko
in mind!

Did someone step on it, cause that's what it looks like :)

No, actually I was trying to get away from the 'mirror-
image' type of pictures that we make so often in ASCII.
You know what I mean-- the right side is the same as
the left... and vice-versa.

Your pic is a good example of the mirror-image ASCII.

You know, that is exactly what I thought when I was making it.
It became more and more symmetrical, and I figured "hey, maybe
Joan was just trying to stay away from this"


> Your pic is a good example of the mirror-image ASCII.

Here's the same ant, in a more 3D perspective, no mirroring here:

              |      /
              \    ,'
               \_,'
          __   /")
       _,'  `.(_/,---.
         ,-._,')'     `
       _/ _,/ /--..
        ,' (_/\    \_
     _,' ,' |  `.
        /   )    \
  hh   /   /
       \__/

This seems to be getting quite a tasty thread for aardvarko :)

Yep-- I still make symmetrical pics-- it's just an added
challenge to make ones that aren't.  

I like your ant from a different view... although
the eyes ought to be a little different... or non-existant..
With the paranthesis in there, it almost looks a little
cartoonish... at least to me, it did.

       of a wrestler than a dancer.
