First, keep the length of your text lines down to 72 chars.

I don't mind converted graphics as long as they are done right.  Yours
wasn't.  If you are going to use converted images then make a point of
using them as a starting point and then editing them by hand
afterwards for better definition and composition.

Take a look at these examples:

All of those were done with one version of aalib or another and then
hand edited by me.  The first three were done from a mess of photoes
that a friend took and I wanted to ascii fy but didn't have time to
hand do them from scratch so I did some quick converstions and then
hand edited them up to something usable as art.  The rest where some
of my early experiances in ascii art.
