Wanted: Budding Artists for ASCII artwork

Hi everyone,

I've been kind of busy with all sorts of projects recently and I kind of wanted to do something I've had in the back of my mind for a long time- this was earmarked as a project I wanted to do in Java but my art skills made it totally impossible.

In Lua however this is less of a problem- still a problem but less of one.

I'm going to be a bit tight-lipped about the details in case I run into too many problems or the project doesn't take off but I'm issuing a Request for high quality ASCII artwork for use in a project I'm working on. I'm looking for:
- Typically animal or humanoid figures, of varying proportions
- Several scaled images of the same figure - one that's very large, taking up a lot of the screen, and two or three more to representing being in the distance
- A Ligne Claire style- clear outlines and edges, rather than a textured style

If you want to help out either respond to the thread or send me an email, and if possible a bit of artwork you've done before and we'll figure out some details. They're still vague and I'm very happy to play to strengths and change the final product accordingly, so you would be an integral part of the project and have sway over it's direction.


I might bumb this once or twice over the next fortnight, if that's not against the rules of course, to maintain interest. Also if this is in the wrong place please let me know and I'll take it down immediately. Thanks for reading!

While I'm not good with ASCII art I have made this tool it might be useful to you.

Interesting…
Can you do one of larger dimensions? Maybe 20*10 or thereabouts.

If you're interested in more details, I've attached a demo of the setting any artwork will appear in here: http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/topic/1586-wip-ultima-style-rpg/
