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

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:
