MY FAVORITE ASCII DRAWINGS (that are not my work)...
|
By no means is this list complete... there are so many wonderful ascii art pictures around. I'm sure I will add to the list as time goes on... (Note: You'll notice that I prefer the line ascii over the solid ascii-- that's just my preference. I do appreciate the solid pictures, I just like the lines better... ) All these great works have inspired my development at creating ascii art. I owe much to them and to their artists... And so, I say: |
_______) __,
(--|,____) (_ ___) (--\ ,_____)
||_ _,,_ |_/ \ | _
_|| |(_|| || \ \|(_)(_(__,
( |_, \_, (_____|
|
And now to begin my display of favorites... First of all, I've included these "opticals" in my list of favorites... They are unique and quite detailed... I imagine it was quite a challenge to create them. I'm not sure if I could! |

the drawing: 'The Hag and the Young Woman'...

perhaps it's due to the years pursuing an exercise physiology degree...
or maybe it's due to my interest in human anatomy...

As I mentioned previously, I have a true interest in the line-style
ascii... The solid-style ascii has always been difficult for me to see.
They are a little easier to visualize with light colored text on the
dark background, but is nearly impossible (for me) to decipher the opposite
unless I squint and blur my eyes. So when I saw the following on
Allen Mullen's home page, I had to call everyone into the room to see...
---> COLORIZED Solid-Style Ascii drawings <--- Way cool (IMO)!
Check out this Tweety Bird!
