Identify whether the reference is editable character text, a captured editor view, or a separate image. Do not let the word source imply that an unavailable original has been retained. A picture can support a discussion of visible appearance without revealing its underlying characters. A text fragment can identify characters without reproducing every visual choice. Give the actual material a descriptive label, and record missing context as missing rather than substituting an invented version history.
A proposed checklist for assembling material to discuss a character-art draft: name one question, identify the actual source, choose a relevant view, separate observations from future checks, and record a bounded next step. Each item includes practical notes, not claims of completed tests or approval. I am associated with ASCII Art Generator. An optional ascii art maker can prepare candidates, but is not the evidence being reviewed. Core tools are free; optional AI features can require an account and paid credits. AI assisted this original checklist.
