Jax-

Your artwork has backticks within it, which is throwing off the formatting.

Before posting it here, paste it into notepad and “replace all” backticks with apostrophes.

You don’t need two periods.

You need a character after the first backtick if the first line of your artwork doesn’t begin in the left-most position on the line.

Try putting the first backtick on a line by itself.

You can then begin your artwork on the next line.

GoldieLoxx-

Very good.

Here is what the period after the first backtick accomplishes:

1)without the period-

???????????????

?K?A?P?U?S?T?A?

???????????????

2) with the period-

.

???????????????

?K?A?P?U?S?T?A?

???????????????

Basically, the period prevents the first line from sliding all the way to the left.

If your first line already begins in the left-most position the period isn’t necessary.
