How do you guys/gals do this stuff?

It is freaking amazing what you people can twist ascii into. Much props
to you all.

But seriously, how?

Are you artistic in other mediums as well? Which ones?

Just some Q's from a fan.

Do you guys know what you're doing, or are you just hacking?

G'day Sinner!

I was thinking the same thing but haven't asked yet.

This site shows a movie of creation of one piece of ascii art which I
found interesting and cool:

Here's another one Sinner.
Somehow, I think you'll enjoy this as much as I.

Very funny :-/

But it didn't show how it was made.  It's just an animation.

It is not well to be thought of as one who meekly submits to insolence and

I'm sure thats wrong (though ment to be funny)


I'm sure it was while he was drinking
That he wrote what he was thinking
On the paper, his lamenting
His loss of sweet Lenore

In the bar he sat in sorrow
Not once for him a morrow
Nothing he could beg or borrow
To restore his sweet Lenore

The best tool (IMHO) for AA is Jave.

Give it a try (it's free), you'll be an ASCII artist before you know
it.

Hey, I recognize that airplane! Toll!
http://asciisandbox.bravehost.com/vehicles.html

-Phydeaux

ObASCII:
     _  _
    /|\/_\
    \_/\_/
[]=|____|
      /\
     /__\
    /    \
   /      \

"Old-school Camera"

Creando una Jarra:

iniciamos con la forma basica:
         .--------.
         \        /
          )      (
         /        \
       ,'          `.
      /              \
     /                \
    (                  )
     \                /
      `.            ,'
 -hrr-  `.________,'

esta jarra, o jarron, da la forma, pero le faltan elementos, lo primero
que
hay que aniadir es un poco mas de volumen:

          ________
        .:________:.
         \        /
          )      (
         /        \
       ,'          `.
      /              \
     /                \
    (                  )
     \                /
      `.            ,'
 -hrr-  `.________,'

simplemente con poner la parte de arriba una linea doble hace que se
vea con
mas profundidad.

Enseguida se agrega la agarradera...
          ________
        .:________:.
         \        /
          )      (  ___
         /        \',-.\
       ,'          `.  ))
      /              \'/
     /                \
    (                  )
     \                /
      `.            ,'
 -hrr-  `.________,'

Luego le hacemos el vertedero a la jarra..

        _,--------._
        `:._______,:)
          \        /
           )      (  ___
          /        \',-.\
        ,'          `.  ))
       /              \'/
      /                \
     (                  )
      \                /
       `.            ,'
  -hrr-  `.________,'

y Finalmente Adornamos o verificamos detalles:

         _,--------._
         `:._______,:)
           \.'`'. .'/
            )    ` (  ___
           /.'`'. .'\',-.\
         ,'`     `   `.  ))
        /'. .'`'. .'`'.\'/
       /   `     `     `Y
      ('`'. .'`'. .'`'. .)
       \   `     `     `/
        `.. .'`'. .'`','
   -hrr-  `.________,'

Tambien ayuda agregar elementos como vasos, para dar mayor sensacion de
tercera dimension o profundidad:

                      _,--------._
                      `:._______,:)
            ,---.       \        /
           (     )       )      (  ___
       ,---:`---'|      /        \',-.\
      (     )  ,-^-.  ,'          `.  ))
      :`---'| (     )/              \'/
      :     : :`---'/                Y
      :     :-:    (                  )
      |     | :     \                /
       `---'  |     |`.            ,'
     -hrr-     `---'   `.________,'


Jarron Segunda Parte....

Para crear un jarron sombreado, primero tomamos nuestra jarra del
ejemplo
anterior:
      _,--------._
      `:._______,:)
        \        /
         )      (  ___
        /        \',-.\
      ,'          `.  ))
     /              \'/
    /                Y
   (                  )
    \                /
     `.            ,'
-hrr-  `.________,'

Aniadimos una segunda agarradera:

      _,--------._
      `:._______,:)
        \        /
    ___  )      (  ___
   /,-.`/        \',-.\
  ((  ,'          `.  ))
   \`/              \'/
    Y                Y
   (                  )
    \                /
     `.            ,'
-hrr-  `.________,'

Luego agregamos la sombra:

      _,--------._
      `:._______,:)
        \..::ooOo/
    ___  )::ooOo(  ___
   /,-.`/..::ooOo\',-.\
  ((  ,'..::ooOoOO`.  ))
   \`/ . ..::ooOoOO8\'/
    Y . ..::ooOoOO888Y
   (   . ..::ooOoOO888)
    \ . ..::ooOoOO888/
     `.. ..::ooOoOO,'
-hrr-  `.________,'

Yo utilizo una escala:  .:oO8 y la alterno para que se vea esfumado.

Posteriormente se suabizan los bordes:

      _,--------._
      `:._______,:)
        \..::ooOo/
    ___  )::ooOo(  ___
   /,-.`/..::ooOo.',-.\
  ((  ,'..::ooOoOOb.  ))
   \`/ . ..::ooOoOO8\'/
    Y . ..::ooOoOO888b.
   (   . ..::ooOoOO888b
    \ . ..::ooOoOO888F
     `.. ..::ooOoOOP'
-hrr-  `._..ooOO8P'
         `------'

Modificamos tambien el aza derecha para que se vea obscura:

      _,--------._
      `:._______,:)
        \..::ooOo/
    ___  )::ooOo(  ___
   /,-.`/..::ooOo.d""Yb
  ((  ,'..::ooOoOOb.  Yb
   \`/ . ..::ooOoOO8bdP'
    Y . ..::ooOoOO888b.
   (   . ..::ooOoOO888b
    \ . ..::ooOoOO888F
     `.. ..::ooOoOOP'
-hrr-  `. ..ooOO8P'
         `------'

Finalmente modificamos la boca del jarron:
         ,:"""""":.
        (:.______,:)
         \..::ooOoF
     ___  )::ooOo(  ___
    /,-.`/..::ooOo.d""Yb
   ((  ,'..::ooOoOOb.  Yb
    \`/ . ..::ooOoOO8bdP'
     Y . ..::ooOoOO888b.
    (   . ..::ooOoOO888b
     \ . ..::ooOoOO888F
      `.. ..::ooOoOOP'
 -hrr-  `. ..ooOO8P'
          `------'

Y listo, tenemos un jarron de doble aza, con sombreado.

Espero hayan disfrutado este  mini-tutorial tanto como yo  disfrute
haciendolo...
Saludos...
