Bah. :) I think anybody is capable of making their own ASCII. :P Quick 
tutorial: Load up MS-Word, Notepad, Wordpad, or any program with multiple 
fonts, and write out a word. Then, using the popular $ character, just shape 
a word of any font. $'s are usually used for the bulk of the characters, and 
commas, apostrophes, periods, etc. are usually used for rounding the characters 
off.
Much simpler than getting somebody else to do it for you. :>

I like drawing ASCII. :) For all you people with a fixed-width font, I'm bored 
enough to paste the ASCII of my ircII script:

         ``""@$$$$$$$$$$@s.              ,s@$$$$$$$$$$@""''
              `@$$$$$$$$$$@s.          ,s@$$$$$$$$$$@'
                 `$$s`"$s.`',$s.    .s@$$$$$$$$$$@'
                   `@$ $$$  """""' '""""`@$$$$$@"'
  ,s@$$@s.   ,s@$$@s.  $$$ .`"$s. `"$@,s$@s.`',s@$$$@s.   ,s@$$@s.

               ,s@$$$$$$$$$@'         `@$$%wyv%$$$@s.
          ,,ss@$$$$$$$$$$$@'           `@$$$$$$$$$$$@ss..

The idea of putting that "X" behind the "eclipse" was taken from an older 
BitchX logo/ASCII, but I still made it. :)
And btw, it looks best with a black background and gray/white text... Not sure 
why, it just does. :P
I've also done a few more ASCII's, such as here's one I did for a friend:

                         ,$   s.             ,$"                    ,$"
                         $$. ,@$             $$                     $$
    ,s@$$$$@s.           $$$$$@'            ,$$.                   ,@$.
,s@$$$$$$$$$$$@.   ,s@$$$$$$$@.             @$$@            ,s$$$@s$$$@.
          `"@$$$$$$$$$$$@$$$$$$s.         ,s@$$$        ,s@$$$@"@$%wyv%$
              `@$$$$$$"'   `@$$$$$@.    ,s$$$$$'  ,$' ,@$$$@"'   `$$$$$'
               `$$$$$$    ,s `"@$$$$$s,s@$$$$"' ,s@$ ,@$$$$'      $$$$'
                $$$$$'   ,$$.   `@$$$$$$$$$@'   ""'  @$$$$'       $$$$.
                $$$$$   ,@$$$$.  `$$$$$$$$$'  `"$$$$ $$$$$        `"@$$@s,.
                $$$$$. ,$$@'"$@.  $$$$$@$$$s.  ,$$$' $$$$$
                $$$$$$ $$$' ,$$$ ,$$$$$"$$$$$s $$$$  @$$$$
                `$$$$$ $$$  $$$$ $$$$$$ `$$$$$.`$$$s.`$$$$$
                 $$$$$ $$$  $$$',@$$$$'  $$$$$@ `$$$$.`$$$$.       ,s@$$@"'
                ,$$$$$ `@$,.$$' $$$$$'   `$$$$$.  `@$$.`$$$$s.    ,@$$$'
         `"@$@s,$$$$@'   `$$@' ,$$$$'     `@$$$@s.  `$$ `@$$$$@s@$$$@'
            `"@$$$@"'   ,s$',s@$$@"'        `"@$$$$s. "   `"@$$$$$@"'

"ToXiC", if you can read it. Oh well, I'm bored of pasting these here now, so 
off I go...
