While the Darth Maul is /very/ nice looking because of the color
selection and balance it doesn't have the nice simplicity and hand
drawn flavor of your other works.  

It is noticably done with the aid of software.  While I have always
thought of this type of art to be a novelty I don't really think of it
as art if most of the work is done by the computer.  I have used
programs like aalib to do quick conversions in the past but I always
try to manually edit the results after that so that it isn't a
straight conversion without any artistic tampering.   These pieces are
always marked with :AA: in addition to my :F_P: so that I and anyone
else knows.  I think I did one before with no editing and I didn't
even put my signature on it, just the :AA:.
