This looks better at an aspect ratio of around 2.25. The head isn't
right though. One day, sitting bored at my terminal, I saw my
roommate lying on the floor like this, watching tv I think. So I
started ascii-sketching him, without telling him. He got up before I
got to his head though, so this drawing sat, headless, in my scratch
pad for a while. I finally tried to add a head, and this mess was the
result. Fiddling with that stupid head took much longer than the body
did. Maybe I should have asked him to pose again. Maybe I should
learn to draw.
