Ung.  Maybe it's just a matter of taste, but you managed to produce
what I was trying to _avoid_.  Your figure looks quite stiff and blocky.
I really did want to give the picture a soft, misty look.  My normal
media are pencil, paint, watercolor and india ink.  The most annoying
thing I've found about doing ascii art is how _crude_ it is.  Smooth
curves don't tend to lend themself well to ascii art.  

Again, it's all a matter of taste, but I'd rather give up continuous
outlines for a better overall shape.
