The result is the following 7-liner (still too big for a sig imo, but others use sigs this large): [~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~__~~~~|~<3~] _ [ |\,,===\ \\ \---///<_[<p | __ ][_ | _ | _ _ _ [ |:=:^'= > H \-/// @ || | /\ ][_ |>|~ <||~|<|| | | , [ |/`====/ H.m w`H /====./| ]___ __ _ _ _ . ,-' [ \/ | ||_@_ ///-\ H < =.v:=:| ] | '- | | | <| | | [ ~~ | d>]_>///---\ \\ \===''\| ]~~~ --' ,----------' [__&>_|__~~_&>__________________|____] ( The King of Hearts ) It's a tad bit "flat", but contains the most detail off of a real card that I can get, while shortenning it as much as I can. Of course, the lettering can be changed however you see fit; and, in "theory", it would work better with 9 lines (although it'd be an even larger sig; use the extra lines to give white space around the king figure).
