[picture deleted] Not bad. I like what you did to the nose. Making it clear space was a good idea; it increases the tonal range of the small picture. Here's something silly I just did. I took the original Thumper picture, displayed it in a window, dumped the bitmap, converted it to a GIF, and then ran it through gifscii, to get a 24-line picture. The result is a mess. Fiddling with the contrast and brightness doesn't help much. The picture below was the best I could get. So much for my hopes for an automatic pantograph for ascii pictures... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!U@@@!W?tE@W@X!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!XUT$BE!TT*9BEU$$TN!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!X!!!WW*69E!MW@@@#T@N*W*!!!!!!! !!!!!!!S!!S9$$l$NXWUU9SR@$I$I$6X!!!!! !!!!!!B@!@@@WWtWWWWWWWWWWW@K@W@t!!!!! !!!!!!IIIIIIIIT@ZZIIITTZZI?IITIIBUX!! !!!!!!@!@!!!!!!?@@@@@@@@@@@@!@@@@@@@! !!!!!!I!QZlU!!?QXUIIIQQllIUIQT!?TTIII !!!!!!!!!!!@*@@@?!@!@!!!!@!!*!!!!@!!@ !!!!!!!!!!?T$B$I66$$BBI6EBN2!!Z2@!!X! !!!!!!!X!@N$W$@@RR$$@@@N@NW%!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!WBBIRW@BBI66$$$U$l96UN!!!!!!!!! !!!!!$$$*E@l$$$*$$$*WTW#9@TWTU!!!!!!! !!!!$#$@@WNN$$@@WNN$U*U@5W*U*U@!!!!!! !!!!!U*9BI66$$BBI66$T$TBET$T$TBETU!!! !!!!!W*@@@RR$$@@@RR$5W*N@*W*W*N@*W!!! !!!XQI$IU!66$$BBI66*!I$6BNI$I$6B$I$X! !!!?!@W@$!tWUWUWWUW@W@W@t!@W@W@tW@W@W !!!!!6ZI!!IIIITTZQIIIIIT?IIIIIIIIIIIT !!!!!!?!!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@!@ !!!!!!!!UIIIIIlQIIWIIlQIUIUIIIIIIIBQQ !!@!@!@*@**@!@!X@!@!@!!@!@*@*@**@@*#9 ?TTTITITTZTITITTZ!*TTTTTZTITTTTT!!TTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!!!@!!@!!!!!!!
