I liked your'n big globes. P.S.: the gin glows in the dark
OK. Your art is crap. It's geograhically incorrect, out of scale and just totally dull. Why don't you get a life and use proper graphical design tools instead of this bullshit ascii art. Only joking, but I did what you asked.

Those'r great!
Oh, you wanted critizism... gee why can`t these people ask for an 'opinion'
--- I find it very hard to spot bad points in this quality ASCII Art.
Those Circles are excellent... the shading is great... The use of letters
is, although in some places strange looking, a great style that adds shape
to the land masses... and I managed to pick out all the countries!
No, I can`t find anything to critizise (or is it critisise? I dunno...
critisize my spelling!)
Byez,
-Martin
