Once I`d got rid of the word wrap I could see what the picture was! What do
you think of my diddle.
And as for 'not everyone can do ascii' ... I disagree. You did! Granted it
wasn`t the best ascii art ever, but it takes practice... Let's see if I can
hunt down one of my (embarassing) early pics...

See, I went from not at all good to what you might describe as quite good
(judging by the kinds of replies I have got from some of my better pictures)
- beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder. You might think that any
pic is complete crap, while someone else might think it's the best pic ever.
And now, one of (in my opinion) my better pics...

That picture still hangs above my desk....
Keep practicing. Perfect makes practise... or something.

So, you are > wrong in everyone can do ascii.... If it's an areoplane then it's not that bad. You just have to be careful to avoid "wrapping". Here's an attempt at reconstructing your picture: > '''' > ' ' > ' ' > ' ' > ' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' , > ' Mithrandir ' , > ' ' , > ',,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,. > ' ' > ' ' > ' ' > ' '''' > ' ' ' ' > ' ' ' ' > ' ' ' ' > ' ' ' ' > ' ' ' ' > ' ''''''' ' > ' ' > ' ' > ' ' > ' ' > ' ' > ' ' > ' > And a "diddle": > __ > | \ > | \ > | \ > | \____________________________________________________ > | `-._ > | Mithrandir `-._ > | `-. > |_______________________ ____________________________`. > | / > | / > | /__ > | / .'`. > | / / | > | / / | > | / | | > | / | / > | /___\__.' > | / > | / > | / > | / > | / > | / > | / > |/ > (I tried to keep the same basic shapes as the original, just using different characters to make the lines come out more clearly) Your sig looks a bit weird though. I can't see what it's supposed to be. Are you sure you didn't use tabs in there somewhere? (Tabs can really mess up a picture. This is because different comptuers and different programs interpret the tab character in different ways) > /Mithrandir > > ^ > / \ > / \ > / * \ > __/_____\__ Why not read the FAQ: http://studserv.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/faq.html It's boring homework stuff, yes, but very useful. :) -- _ __ __ _ _ __ ___.--'_`. \ \ / /__ _ _ ___ _ _ (_)__ __ _ .'_`--.___ __ ( _`.'. - 'o` ) \ V / -_) '_/ _ \ ' \| / _/ _` | ( 'o` - .`.'_ ) _\.'_' _.-' \_/\___|_| \___/_||_|_\__\__,_| `-._ `_`./_ ( \`. ) //\` '/\\ ( .'/ ) \_`-'`---'\\__, uggc://jjj.yhqq.yhgu.fr/~ix/ ,__//`---'`-'_/ \` `-\ r93...@fz.yhgu.fr /-' '/ ` ascii art chat: http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/cgi/asciichat/ '
Thanx for all the critic, good and bad. I think that that is the best thing you can have! :) And that pic of yours was GREAT!
