Hi Artists,

does anyone if you now about an one line ASCII sheep or can draw one? (A
complete sheep, or just it's face... something you can recognize as
sheep in one line)

Thanks and best regards,
Oliver

Any references embedded?

@nn looks more like a dog one of these ruffs.
@# lacks the fluffy feeling ;-)
m@ or nn@ maybe.
,,@ might actually get close, but I find it extremely difficult in
capturing the sheep in one line.

like the

,,@ ( ram )

so
&,, ( ewe )
a,, ( lamb )

how about a lamb gamboling?

a;;'

not obviously sheepish tho' but it has the skipping thing going on...

an idea that came last night just for the face of a sheep were these:

-(")- (for a sheeps face)

/(")\ (for a lambs face)

Do you think anybody could recognize this?

Thanks & Regards,
Oliver

Found this one somewhere in the WWW:

,('Ü').

Looks best with a propotional font like "Times new Roman".

The uppercase U with diaresis is no ASCII character.

ASCII-Art is fixed-width.

Ups, you are right of course.

Not necessaryly for a one-liner.

Ob-ASCII:

/\
/o \
/ *\
/ o \
/ *\
/ * o \
||

Text art maybe, but the more specific definitions of ASCII ART require it
to be viewable ver platform independently, which means, you should use a
fixed-width Font.

ObASCII: ________

c, | /_/_/ -- -
,. .,.o0 /_/_/ _ _

I did. :) However it looks better in proportional font. And as I did
not know the intention of the original poster, I thought it could help
anyhow. But as I mentioned, this one is not done by me. My ASCII-Art
is always done for fixed-font display.

Ob-ASKey:

The font is necessary to make the details of the different lines line up
properly. That doesn't matter for a one-liner. For example, smileys work
just fine in proportional fonts.

Yes, they do tend to wander around a bit, don't they?

Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, Grant's a;;' looks pretty
sheep-like to me.
