It's actually quite pretty. Problem is, it's rendered with japanese characters. Here's my attempt to replicate it using only ascii characters: ,-"-. *Y """-e ()|/)|) )a a 3 ( - / .) (. ./ \V/ /\. / \ Y / \. / /\_\(/__/\ \ |\ | | / D |_( D=oo==| // / /======) Y | || | | | || | | | *|| |@ | | * || @| *| | * || @ | *| | /|| .:*@|\/ ||_____| C C X The hands are formed with hiragana tsu's but, I couldn't find an ascii equivalent, so I just use 'D's. The bangs are formed with hiragana no's and katakana ha's which I could only approximate with slashes and parentheses. The middle of the sash had an infinity symbol and the hair piece had a couple gamma's in there. So, I replaced the infinity with 'oo' and just redid the hair. I couldn't figure out what the artist was doing with the sandals at all. Two hiragana to's and one katakana me. Best approximated with 'C' and 'X'. Diddle away =) andy
