Doesn't look bad :) One of your problems here is the lines going horizontally
down right - with this pattern: ""--.___
But its the same gradient for both the near and far sides of the horizontal
'rectangle' (torus with square edges), so theres no feeling of perspective in
that direction.

Thanks for the tips,I shall try to use them.I hope you dont mind others emulating your methods.I hadnt thought of using a finger off the screen to line things up,i was just sort of eyeballing it loosly.I dont know WHEN i will try another one but i do know WHAT i will try.

Come to think of it, it just might be fast enough for realtime.. You've got a nice idea there. Actually it might take a bit longer to get those bugs out, as I haven't even finished putting them all in yet. Wait and see. :) -- __,,,------._ ,-/| `-.

No - not at all. I mean sure its nice having the pictures recognised as being
mine because of the style - but its better to have a whole style that other
people can use initiated by me :) Anyway, thats what initials are for.
I doubt if the initials erasers would try it with the perspective drawings -
theyre probably too recogniseable with the JFL stuff. Hmm - I've just
contradicted myself haven't I? :)

Yep - I think I understand though :) It does look better - just be a bit
careful - it maybe looks like the far edge of the horizontal torus is
thinner than the near edge enve taking into account the perspective?

When I did castle I just started with the one perspective block and extended
the lines, though I don't think thats the best way to do it. I sometimes
draw it to get a feel for how I want it to look, then put in '+'s where I
want corners to be (the rest is essentially just joining the dots :)
next put in a few key lines like '-'s for more horizontal lines, '|'s for
more vertical lines, then fill in the . ' _ things for horizontalish lines,
J F L for verticalish lines. Something to bear in mind for the perspective -
all the lines that in the 'real world' are parallel (eg the opposite walls
of the castle) should converge to the same vanishing point, so I put a
finger somewhere off the screen where I see 2 such lines converging and check
if all the other lines that are supposed to go there actually do.
