Try as I might, I cannot manage to get this Grim Reaper down.  I had a
good start, it looked good for awhile, but when I started "coloring"
it, it went KERPUT.  Plz help!  Any info on what to do to give it a 3d
effect?  Heres what I wound up with:.

LOL!  I'll go with POTA!

I didn't mean to double space it.

I used the Lines and Circles from the FAQ, and still, try as I may cannot seem
to get a good outline.  The original outline was awesome, but I didnt save and
it was ICKY.  So now, I will get offa work, go home, and do some more.  Mebbe
tomarrow, I will have some good ones.  (Thinking about doing a 4WD Chevy Z71
LWB  EC.  )  

This is really fun to do and even MORE fun to watch.  You folks do awesome
work... One day I will be up to your calliber!

Welcome to the world of ASCII art--
it **is** addicting, isn't it?
Glad to see that you're trying to create some
pics...  Post some more.   The more you make,
the better you get.

Thank you!

But from what I see, I'm gonna be awhile learning to get down this
"anti-aliasing" thing.  You people are amazing!  I have sat around for about 5
hours last night trying to do a truck and got nowhere, but I wound up with a
nice stereo system!  :-)  Yes, it is extremely addicting, my wife is now doing
it!
