Yeah, pretty much. Funny, mine looks right if you decrease the font size! I designed with my screen set so that five periods across equal the width of a smiley gif. But that’s a small font size. oh well…

Sunspace · February 7, 2001, 7:02am

Damn. I was just going to bed when I found this thread.

You’re counting in binary, aren’t you?

Oh no.

It’s starting.

And I’m lost in the museum.

:eek:

“Ow.”

“Help?”

OK, this one I actually plotted on grid paper. Of course, I tweaked it like crazy with the preview function, but the rays/petals were designed before I sat down to the computer.

I planned to have white space around it, but since the text:gif ratio depends on your browser settings (which vary) and this image is pretty involved, I decided to do it all-gif. So it will now take ages to load.

HMPH.

Anyway, here’s my Smiley Sunflower (eight points) on a Blue Sky :

Great effort there. And, no, it’s never too late for sweet sentiments.

Thank you flodnak! When I saw that you had posted I immediately thought to do a Danish flag. Imagine how amused I was to see your submission.
[sup]PS: I need a recipe for fiske frikerdella med remoulade, do you have one?[/sup]

Also a big thank you to all of the new contributors to the Art Gallery. I recently had the chance to view the pieces under more advanced graphics so that the screen was much denser. All of the images were quite improved. The Sunflower and the Fractal pieces were much more impressive and deserve comment (not that all the others don’t).

Keep 'em coming folks!
