Second Nude

It's been a while already since I posted my first ASCII nude. Here
is the second one that I did, still back in Dec. '93. It's based
on the well known figure of Meriday Beth (I believe) drawn by Mike
Jittlov:

I don't claim my version is an improvement, but it has allowed me
to explore contour smoothing techniques while trying to find my own
ASCII style. I did alter her hair style (sorry if I messed that up
Mike), as well as other small details. Hope you like it:

Wow! Look at her: she's all dressed up for a nudist
convention! :-)
And of course, a bikini sounded like a good idea too. So here
is that version:

A-o all!
Good job, Normand[1]. But I have to say that I preferred the face on the
original lady. I'm not quite sure why, but I think perhaps the vagueness
of it was more appealing than the stark reality of the face on your
version. Perhaps a blend of the two might be worth looking into in my
spare time[2].
It's also nice to finally know who is responsible for the lady since it's
been sent to me more times than I can remember. Perhaps this a measure of
one of two things.
a) How long a person has been on the net.
OR
b) How many newbie friends a person has who have jsut discovered
ASCII art.
[1] What the hell am I saying? He nearly always does a good job.
[2] Hah! What spare time? ;o)
Cheers,
Intensity
