Samurai Dragon <pg2...@cam.ac.uk> ASCII art 3 May 1997 00:00 · permalink · report
I have had an inital crack at creating my "Dragon with a Samurai Sword"
sig below by combining various other peoples' ascii-art (all credited). 
It's still a little big, though, so I'd appreciate any comments
(good/bad/indifferent - I'm not proud :-) or a better piccie than this
all together.  Thanks for humouring me!

I have done the same. Here is the result.

turned into a dragon with a sword and a shield:

(I don't know if there is a connection between samurais and castles, I
just thought the name and address by themselves looked a little thin...)

[SNIP stuff that I have copied to my PC - 'twas much appreciated!]

Thanks very much for the time you put in on those - I especially liked
the last one.  In the interim I had been 'advised' by other regulars on
the newsgroup this was intended for that a shorter sig than the original
would be better.

Since I already guessed this might be the case, I had already come up
with a contingency .sig - since one of the other regulars already has a
sword in his .sig, I have gone simply for a dragon motif (again adaptd
from another picture).  It's seven lines long rather than four, but it's
still much shorter than the original.

Now that I have a selection, I may well mix and match with the ones you
created.  More tinkering awaits!

Cool - thanks.  I'm building up quite a collection now - this is not
going to be an easy decision.  Maybe I can have one for every day of the
week!  *grin*

Okay, let's just say I can't resist a challenge. :)

              n,'``',n  
              ',\  /, /|
              ' ,.., //
   Samwise    q  ~~ // p

            ( _ '''''' _ ),'
             ,,,      ,,,

I hope you don't mind I added a bit of samurai armor. I also have a version 
with a samurai style helmet as well, but it's eleven lines instead of ten.

               d 88 b
              n,_``_,n  
              ',\  /, /|
              ' ,.., //
   Samwise    q  ~~ // p
 --=~(@)~=--   Q ;|// P,     d
             ,' v E) '  ) ,/`;
             (,';u|||;, ,'   ;
            ,'  :||||; ',   /
            ( _ '''''' _ ),'
             ,,,      ,,,

You're welcome to use either, just please give credit by not stripping the 
sig. Enjoy!
