Line: Medusa in Ascii

Hello!

Marcia Chabert had a request ...

Here's my attempt.

                               __            __
                             ~(_ \          / _)~           
                                ) )        ( (   
                               ( (._.-..-._.) )
                             _  `-._.-  -._.-'  _
                           ~(_ \_.' <>  <> `._/ _)~
                              `---'        `---'
                             ~(_) (\ `--' /) (_)~
                               ((_))      ((_))
                                `-'        `-'

If she looks ... uh ... too *happy* ... well, let's just say that it's my
signature style ...

Regards,

Don

Hello, again ...


I couldn't help diddling my Medusa some more.  I ultimately came up with 
this (hey, I *like* the smile!) ...

                              __ ) ).--..--.( ( __

I wasn't very fond of the <> eyes, so I changed them to these, which I think
give a nice impression of an icy (stony?) stare.  I think they were first used
on someone's drawing of Akira...

A combination of the last two medusae, plus snake-eyes and a nose:
