    It's a real shame that whoever posted the first pic of Princess Di had
to be greeted with the 'UGLY' comment by Veronica.

    I had replied to that post directly..but for some reason...the post
was rejected.  As if I care.

    The point is...new people here will never be able to post things...no
matter if they are 'perfect' or 'up to peoples' standards' here..if that
will be the reply their work is met with.  It's really sad.

    That first pic of Princess Di had a lot of work behind it...and didn't
deserve the response it got.  As if the person slamming it did totally
perfect ascii work from the day she started.  Drek.

    I liked BOTH pics.  They each show a different style, and both were
quite nice.

    I think that people here should think how new people trying to post
here with what may be their first art, or even one of many bits of work
will feel if they are slammed for their efforts.

    I know that I decided NOT to post anything that I've done here.  I
don't need the grief..as this is the 'expert' ng.

    And I used to enjoy this ng too.....

 It is rather ugly, and badly done.  With messy attempts at art, either 
I tactfully don't reply at all or I point out at least some of what's
wrong with it and how they might do better (I think the latter is
important too), usually encouraging them to keep trying. But the 
comment "it's crap" or "why is there <XYZ fault>" is sometimes the
most appropiate thing to say.

If he had made it himself I would not have called it ugly, but he
didn't, he took a gif image and pushed it through a gif-to-ascii
converter and then presented it as his own "drawing". When you use such
a converter the result often sucks and needs lots of work before you can
even see what it's supposed to be (I showed Kangaroo's picture to some
friends, but I hid the part where it said who it was. The name of the
second picture in that post showed at the bottom and my friends thought
that the picture was of John Lennon, not Princess Diana. It didn't occur
to them that that could be wrong...)

Kangaroo is not "new" here.

No it didn't! It had about one minute of work behind it.

Here is a picture:

Here is a converter:

If I enter the picture into the converter I get this:

There is no WORK behind it! It took a few seconds (most of which were
spent waiting for the background image of that converter site to
download into my browser). Try it yourself and see how easy it is! (you
will get the same result - WOW! you have exactly the same "style" as me!
Does that mean we are really twins separated at birth? No, it means it
wasn't WE who did it...)


Those converters are useful as sketching tools, but the "raw" result
from them most often don't deserve being called "drawings", they often
need a lot of work before they start to look good (or even before they
start to look like anything).

Here are a couple of my first ascii pictures, you judge how "perfect"
they are (personally I think they are ok):

The fist picture did not show a "style", it showed a computer programmed
response to shades in a gif image.

I have never "slammed" a new person for his/her efforts. Sometimes
people have technical difficulties such as using an inappropriate font
or using tabs in a picture but that is a different issue (and I don't
"slam" that either, I try to help those people to post so that the
pictures show up the way they intended).

Veronica can reply to this-- but I feel as though I must put my couple of
cents in.  I don't think that Veronica meant to 'slam' the original poster.
I've seen Veronica (and others) write encouraging words to new posters
to the NG.  I'm sure she was referring to the image itself-- and not a personal
dig.

I will have to disagree with your first sentence.  The first pic of Princess
Di is obviously a scanned image-- one obtained from using software.
It doesn't take much work to run a pic through a program.  Usually when
a converter is used, people must "clean up" the final image.  This pic
didn't look "cleaned-up".

>don't need the grief..as this is the 'expert' ng.
I hope that you do post your work on the NG-- it isn't an *expert* group--
we were all newbies at one time...  I think that you will find that it is a
very encouraging and supportive group (as long as you talk about
ASCII art)...

So- here is a request-- some ASCII art from Jeannette Upchurch!

It IS very old, and very thin and seems to be very stiff. I call it ok
because you can see that it is supposed to be a cat and because there
are no tabs or other technical no-no's in it... I like it because I made
it and it expresses my personality somehow but as a picture of a cat?
NO! (they say people make pictures that look like themselves. I'm fat
but draw pictures of thin cats... hmmm... I wonder what that means...) 

Here's another cat I have made, it's about two years "younger" than the
one above:


- -- .-.
- - /  |                - - /|_/|      .-------------------.
   /   |  - _______________| @.@|     /    Toeung Family    )

  |    |  -  -   / ______  _/____)  ( toe...@rconnect.com /
-- \   | -  -   / /\ \   \ \         `-------------------'
 -  \  |     - (_/  \_) - \_)
- -  | |


(remember? some guy asked for a catapult...)

This one has more "normal" proportions but is also very stiff... 

And here's another one I have made (in age somewhere between the other
two)


  cats singing? (real cats used as violins?)
       
       ,  w    //

also very stiff...  :-/
