Unless you have the talent of Leonardo da Ascii you are unlikely
to get much feedback on your efforts posted to this newsgroup.
Most folks look at artwork and remain silent ( perhaps mercifully ).

My comments:
Your pictures are a bit large for my taste - similar in size/length 
to the GIF conversions in which Allen Mullen excels.

I prefer pictures which fit within an 80 line x 24 row screen and my 
preference is mainly for line art or at least pictures which are 
clear and distinct, not blurred or fuzzy in outline or lacking 
definition in important detail which makes me have to concentrate in 
deciding just what the picture is depicting.  


Here are two which I like, one is GIF-style, a conversion to ASCII 
from ANSI of the Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland:

              " The Caterpillar from Alice In Wonderland "



the other is Ed Savage's cat which looks dynamic and almost three 
dimensional...

( Hmm...one of my really favourite pictures of all-time ! )
