MD >> Do I know you under some other name or are you new here?
Hello.. uh.. I've posted on a.a-a a few times.. I use my real name on Usenet - James Mitchelhill.. I sign my 'art' as jim.
MD >> That name sounds vaguely familiar. :-)
I haven't posted much recently.. recently being for months.. but I still lurk.
MD >> Why not show me a couple of your pictures to refresh my memory? :-)

:) Well.. I have longer hair now, and am not made up of text... and my ascii-skills aren't really up to portraits..
Yes.. yes they are.. I'm better at geometric things.. the first (or second.. I can't really remember) ever thing I did was a star.. /\ / \ ___________/____\___________ '-. / \ ,-' '-. / \ ,-' '-/ \-' / '-. ,-' \ / '.-' \ / ,-' '-. \ / ,-' '-. \ jim/,-' '-.\

hehehe.. actually that's a bit closer...
Hmmm.. well.. it's just a subtle wrongness to the whole thing... the eyes are too large, and the wrong shape, the mouth's too small, and the wrong shape.. the nose is just _wrong_... and the eye-brows
MD >> Please hit "back" in your browser until you get to that message, insert a few newlines and post again.
Ok.. Hmmm.. well.. it's just a subtle wrongness to the whole thing... the eyes are too large, and the wrong shape, the mouth's too small, and the wrong shape.. the nose is just _wrong_... and the eye-brows were added at the last minute after I realised I'd forgotten to include them..

Now that's probably closer to the truth...

Uh... no.. it's meant to be a rose.. Oh well..
MD >> Oh! :D:D:D::DD (Yes, I think I see it now)
It's the symbol for the Toreador clan from Vampire: The Masquerade.. I've done most of the other symbols.. but that rose is _difficult_..
Maybe work a little on the lines... . _______.---.- .' `. .-' .-' .'.---.: ( .-' . .-`. .--. \ .' .:''.:.. `.`.: . | / : :: .-. . '''' :: :`. | ' :: .' : : :. '.

MD >> That still looks a bit like one of those Halloween thingies... :D
This is why I gave up before.. Although in a vampire related thing, maybe halloween is appropriate.. :)
The other symbols are much easier..

They're the insane vampires.. hence the 'broken mirror' (you could tell it was a broken mirror, right?) logo.. I'm not really into it myself.. but I own the book.. so..
