It also can't he head-on as the neck is horizontal. While boring, the traditional "neckless" view is accurate... for head on. Lengthen the body a bit more to make it at an angle like the head, and it'll be perfect. > ______________________________________ _______ > /~ || :::::::::::::::::::::::::: | / > | || ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | /' > \__||___________________________________|__/' > \_ :::::::: \_ > \_ :::::::..~~\_ > __\_ :::::::::..~~\__ > __________------[][][ \_ ::::::::::::..~--__________________________ > /~~~===+====================\_ ::::::::::::::. ~--__ | / > | | | | \_ ::::::::::::::::... ~~~---+__________/__ > \_______\__________\______| \_:::::::::::::::::::::::::.. ~\ / > ~~~~~~~~~~~------------\____________________________----------------' > > "Romulan Bird Of Prey" > From TOS > Rohan Beckett Looks good. Suggestion: you can make the lines a bit less jagged by using something like these: | ' /, / / ,' ,-' _,-' __,--' | | / / /' ,' ,-' _,-' __,--' | | /, / / ,' ,-' _,-' __,--' | ' / / /' ,' ,-' _,-' __,--' | | /, / / ,' ,-' _,-' __,--' | | / / /' ,' ,-' _,-' __,--' |' /,/ / ,' ,-' _,-' __,--' || ///',' ,-'_,-'__,--' ||///,',-',-',--' For even more slanted lines, just use more horizontal segments. On my display, tildes ('~') are not very good "top-lines', and are more like squiggly dashes, so I tend to avoid them if possible. > > _________--~~\ > ]----/~~ \ "Vulcan ShuttleCraft" > ] / II \ By Rohan Beckett > ]/ II _______\ > / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ > _/ `\ > //~~~~~~~-------_______ `\ > // #=======]]]]] ~~~~~~--`\__ > //_________________ []~[]~-------___________ > \ =============] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~||~||-------------------||==========, > \__________________________________[]_[]___________________||_________/ > |_/ > This is one where the slanted lines would really come in handy..
