Sword and Winged Crown
alt.ascii-art
· 10 messages · 15 Apr 2004 - 7 May 2004
After Deelkar resized the sword somehow (and it really looks nicer
since then :) )... I tried to finish the plan I had, combining that
sword with the winged crown as a kind of banner that I drawed "in real"
some years ago...
I hope you enjoy it! Any suggestions and/or improvements are welcome
for it's still my first piece of real ASCII art...
Again: that was the original picture:
