Wow

This is my first time taking a look in here.  I am impressed.
Some of you, especially the minimalists who use only one screen, do
absolutely astonishing work.  The selection of the appropriate
characters to use theminimum necessary space to create as realistic an
impression as you do is quite remarkable.

I'm here to beg a favour.  Have any of you seen or done one-screen ascii
drawings of an otter ?  My wife's birthday is coming up - and her
personal anthropomorphism is an otter, so I wanted to give her an
e-mail message with a drawing of an otter in it.  I've tried and tried
to do this drawing, but no matter how hard I try, I don't have the
obvious gift it takes to do this sort of thing. Can anybody help me out?

I'm also curious to see if any drawings have been done that relate to
photography or photographic equipment.  I've done some tiny little
sigline size things, but I was wondering if in this newsgroup where some
of you are clearly superior intalent, if you had done or seen anything
sophisticated looking.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have never seen an ascii otter up to now. All I can offer are 
ferrets, weasels and a platypus:

I think this one could pass for an otter ?
