By no means is this list complete...
there are so many wonderful ASCII art pictures around.
I'm sure I will add to the list as time goes on...
All these great pictures have inspired me. And so, to their artists... I say:

||_ _,,_ |_/ \ | _
_|| |(_|| || \ \|(_)(_(__,

And now to begin my display of favorites...
First of all, I've included these "opticals" in my list of favorites...
They are unique and quite detailed...
I imagine it was quite a challenge to create them.
I'm not sure if I could!

from places to things...
perhaps it's due to the years pursuing an exercise physiology degree...
or maybe it's due to my interest in human anatomy...
or perhaps it's just because I think it's cool (and I like dcau's work)...

[RABBIT] by Catalyst
This is a beautiful picture of a bunny made by someone who was
out of ASCII art before I even started into it.

As you can probably tell, I prefer and enjoy the line-style
ASCII... The solid-style ASCII has always been difficult for me to see.
They are a little easier to visualize with light colored text on the
dark background, but is nearly impossible (for me) to decipher the opposite
unless I squint and blur my eyes. So when I saw the following on
Allen Mullen's home page, I had to call everyone into the room to see...
---> COLORIZED Solid-Style Ascii drawinggs <--- This was the first
time I had ever seen the ASCII pictures in color! Way Cool, IMO.
Check out this Tweety Bird! Many of his pictures are colorized.

Next, these favorites are from someone even newer to Ascii Art than myself.
These dragons are by Shanaka Dias who keeps improving with each picture he
makes... and to think that he asked *me* for tips! Sometimes I think I ought
to be asking him! (HIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER ACTIVE)
He is very talented... he created the animated dog .gif on my main
page as well as the animated bubbles .gif on the aquatic creatures page!

Here is some wonderful work by Valkyrie, aka Marie Bird.
She is another "mom" who finds enjoyment by making these
ASCII pictures. Her mythological creatures and
'Sailor Moon' ASCIIs are just amazing.

And while we're on the subject of gargoyles and mythical creatures, look at
this ASCII rendering of a griffon and dragon duking it out by Dan Hunt.
He has more mythical creatures on his homepage including JavaScript
animations...

and finally, my most favorite line-ASCII artist of people
is Joris Bellenger...also known as B'ger.
My favorite work from him are the following...
They are also special because he made them for me! ;)
