Sig-sized Ballroom Dancers?

· 7 messages · 27 Oct 1996 - 13 Nov 1996
Hi all! I was jut wondering if anyone has (or could makke) some sig-sized
ballroom dancers. I'm looking for a 3 or 4 line pic and it doesn't even
have to be strictly ballroom, as long as it looks like it *could* be two
people dancing ballroom style. 8) I checked the ASCII Art Gopher and found
a few pics there, but they weren't quite what I was hoping for. The couple
that I liked the best were these, and even so, the 2nd and 4th ones don't
quite fit what I'm looking for.
Oo o O oO oO
< "' < "'" > " , ""'

I did kind of like the 3rd picture here, kind of a back view of the two
dancers, but it looked a little funny to me. I think the man's head is
supposed to be the O and if so, I think he's looking over the wrong shoulder
of the lady. Also, the hands on the right side looked too low down. So,
I did a little adjusting of that picture and came up with something very
similar, but with the sides kind of switched and I like this a little better:
Oo
" '
|\\
Well, anyway, what do you all think? Anyone have any better pics? I'm sure
that someone must be a much better ASCII artist than I am and could do a new
pic that's better or perhaps just a better adjustment of one of these pics.
So, I'll turn it over to the real ASCII artists (i.e., not me ;) ) -- what's
your opinion on the matter? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
