Can't Draw? You Need The Inkulator 9000.
NTK was kind enough to point out the Inkulator 9000, software to render pen-and-ink style drawings from 3D meshes. NTK also points to a number of other handy tools and papers.

This means you can "draw" your character once in a 3D program and then produce a million drawings by simply posing its skeleton in different positions or moving the camera to arbitrary angles. Especially interesting is the ability to produce unlimited in-between frames with simple 3D interpolation of object positions instead of expensive, laborious hand drawing.
main(c,r){for(r=32;r;) printf(++c>31?c=!r--,"\n":c<r?" ":~c&r?" `":" #");}
inkulator looks like enculador, that is a person (usually a man) who places something (usually something residing between his legs) into some very dark output opening all humans have and that you can see very clearly in a much known webpage that starts with go and finishes with atse ;)
Having said that, I must remark I have to be very sleepy, because I had not noticed this similarity until it has been noted.
