The vote is much appreciated!
Back to the discussion-- The ASCII converter is much less like an undo button, than it is like the camera. The converter allows you to take any image, and then turn that into a baseline detailed ASCII art frame around which you can make adjustments.
Would the LoS submission still hold merit if all we did was copy the card image
http://elementscommunity.org/images/Cards/MarkOfDarkness.png and then run it through a converter? Doing this took me literally two minutes, the majority of which was finding the font that the converter used. Adding in extra/correcting detail would take effort, yes, but to start with this as a baseline after two minutes of 'work' makes an incredible difference. All of the "ASCII" in the below art submission comes from the click of a button.
This is the baseline of what putting that image into an online converter (took 10 seconds) looks like:

Now, yes, the detail is a bit shot, and that's where human editing comes in, as well as adding in any other desired features. But compare starting with this, to starting with an empty pad/document/text editor. Makes a world of difference, no? The bulk of the work is already done by the converter.
