Player Portrait by Palindromedary

September 11th, 2009 7:38 PM / Location: 37.737072,-122.4865

INSTRUCTIONS: Paint a fellow player - we'd really prefer that you use their player photo as your model, though. Any medium/style, but let us know what you end up doing with it.

I asked Loki (whom I had not formerly met but whose picture I admired) if I could paint their portrait.  I wanted to try my hand at ASCII art.  The result was purposefully simplistic, I originally wrote it in this box to see if I could. But in the preview it scrunched a few lines up against thee side for reasons I did not understand. So I ended up copying and pasting into wordpad. Just to be safe I scrunched everything over to the side and then center-justified it. Played around with the fonts for a while before deciding on the one I used. Wingdings is also fun :)

I'll give you points for being unique at this task.

Neat.

I'm flattered.

And, welcome to the game.


Long time ago, I was going to submit a task called "more laborious than tacos" that involved re-creating player portraits in ascii art, but I guess I never did. Neat to see it happen anyway.

I do always aim to be unique, but apparently the idea had occurred to Loki already... but then that's kinda neat isn't it?

Thank you all, lots of fun so far! Very laborious indeed. Spent about 3 hours on that portrait! But I now have a valuable skill in ASCII art. Which will presumably be helpful somehow.

I am pwned. Fairly. I am going to use this as my profile picture now, unless you object.

Thank you. And of course you may use the picture any way you see fit.
The intent was not to make you feel pwned, I just got inspired by a new artform I had never considered before. So thank you for that.
