REQUEST: Can a small, lovely faerie be that hard to draw?

REQUEST: Can a small, lovely faerie be that hard to draw?

rec.arts.ascii · 8 messages · 15 Jul 1994 - 19 Jul 1995
I wouldn't have thought so. True, I can't draw one, but I'm a faerie, not an
ascii artist. Won't someone please help? I'll be extra generous with the faerie
dust, I promise. 

Thanks,
Tink

Well, here's one I started but dropped because I didn't like how it
was turning out.  I haven't tried another yet.

The request about the Faeries caught my interest, so I thought I'd
give it a shot.  Here's what resulted... I composed them in 12-pt
Courier, so I'm not sure how they'll look under different screens.

[innocent faeries unmercifully snipped]

Being (I expect) even more of a novice, I'll take a shot too --
if for no other reason, because it's 11:30 at night and I just had a
Coke Classic -- these are both drawn on a 43-line PC screen, which has
fairly squat characters...

Hope the original artist doesn't mind. This is my variation off of his:

I hope none of the original artists takes offense, as I have diddled their
work and now I finally have some ascii art to include in my .sig, thanks
entirely to several of you helpful humans. (A generous *sprinkle* for you
all, and you know who you are.) >;-> 

My current .sig follows, though I am eager to see any further refinements or
suggestions.

I'd appreciate it if people didn't remove my name from this picture.
I don't remind reposts or people using it, BUT LEAVE MY NAME ON IT.
Thank you.
