Hi everyone,

I've been intrigued by ASCII Art but couldn't think how
to start unil I saw a reference to this group a couple of
nights ago.

I've been looking at the examples posted and visited some 
of the recommended sites.

Advice on sorting out my attempt at a Ddraig Goch (Welsh
Dragon) would be much appreciated.

There is a picture on my site

http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/ejones

The position of the tongue, rampant front claw and the over-
hand loop to the tail are essential.

This is my first attempt

Elaine, your dragon is great. I looked at the picture on your site and
made these small adjustments that you may or may not agree with. (I
shortened the body and head a little and moved the rampant leg one line
down. The eye is changed as well but I can't figure out either how to
give it the same wonderful expression as on the regular drawing.)

 Wow <TM>, for a "first attempt" that's truly excellent.  For
 a regular submission it's pretty good too :->.
