I've seen a couple requests for ascii pictures of elephants out there... 
and one asked about finding one for a signature file.... well... I kinda 
was looking for one myself, so I thought that I would try and take the 
plunge and try out making one.  I'm really no artist... but I do my best...

Here's so far how I've progressed... any help and pointers would be 
greatly appreciated....

This is sort of what I started with....
   _____________ 
  /               \ 
 /            ^     \
/              /---\ |
|  ---------  |     ||
|_|         |_|


Then I tried to clear up the back end and tried making the front a little 
less like a ramp....

    ______________ 
  /                \ 
 /|              ^  \
/ |            /---\ |
  |  -------  |     ||
  |_|       |_|


Next I tried get the Eyor (from Winnie the Pooh) look out by puting more 
of a curve in the back and adding an ear, as well as neatening up the trunk.

          ______________ 
        /       /    /   \ 
       /        \__/   ^  \
       |            /---\ |
       |  -------  |     ||
       |_|       |_|     ~~


Now, I'm trying to give it a tail... but for some reason... I just can't 
get it to look quite right... *sigh*

          ______________ 
     w  /       /    /   \ 
      \/        \__/   ^  \
       |            /---\ |
       |  -------  |     ||
       |_|       |_|     ~~

Any and all help would be greatly welcomed email me or post a response....

If anyone else out there has an ascii picture of an elephant, I wouldn't 
mind seeing it to try and improve on my own and all... 

Thanks,

Dan (+:
