[pic] sketches

· 8 messages · 27 Jan 1998 - 31 Jan 1998
Hi all,
since there's not much traffic I thought I post
these sketches. It's a kind of study. Didn't know
really what perspective the body should have so I
put it in different sceneries. I'm not satisfied though. :)
And because I still wonder how many people are able to see
something in small Ascii at all, I do not give any
headlines but ask:
... What's it?

Ah, the classic font problem.. I suppose it looks more like
on my screen it's obviously a tower if you have this kind
a bottle: of A:
' '
| |
l l
,---. ,
| | / \
|---| /---\
| | / \
As a more or less interesting note, the original topaz font - as well as
Topaz New (I suppose) - had an A like that on the right, and people used
it a lot for arrows and corners. The "topaz" that is included with KS2.0
has a round A, as well as many other differences (no serifs, <>()% don't
line up with /\ and so on..) that cause much of ascii art made on older
Amigas to look funny.
