I have very little to contribute, so in dedication I am recreating each of the KS girls in the only medium I am moderately good at... ASCII
I'll also include a zipped HTML doc that has the full image too.

Dang...
You've got skill; well done.

This seems auto-generated. True ASCII art is usually simplified lineart and very rarely shaded. I don't think what is basically representing coloured pixels as different characters that each represent a shade of gray qualifies even as a derived work of art.

If this is what you honestly think... I doubt I'd be able to convince ya otherwise.
A lot of people have told me so too, that is why I've learned to accept that there will be skeptics.

Y'know, it's a compliment if you did this by hand.

I just thought of mentioning that I would've liked ASCII lineart versions better. No matter how you do it, be it by hand or via automated means, this is just reproducing the original artwork in grayscale.

I think they look great. Having no artistic talent myself I'm stuck making lookalikes in other games whenever the games' character creator is robust enough to allow it.

Ah okay, yeah I see what you mean then. On the next ones I'll try to be more original.

Thank you
