No time, no talent, but I found a 16-color grayscale GIF of Julia Roberts in the wuarchive images archive and ran it through xv and gifscii. I fiddled with xv's color controls for way too long before I noticed that just doing histogram equalization on intensity produces okay results. It's not really recognizable as Julia Roberts, but at least you can tell it's a face, maybe even a woman's face. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$BIIITT$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$W$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$B$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$##T#$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$IGWR$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$R#MM$$$$T$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$MR*$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$##$$$$$$M!!!??#RMMR$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$8$$T$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$MXX$$$$$M?!!!!!!!@*S$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$B$$!$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$!Q$$$$$M!!!!!!~~!!!!R$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$U!$$U$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$*!!!!!~~<~!!!!?#SS*$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$I$$$$ $$$*$$$$$$$$R!!!!!!~:<:~!!!!!!?!B$$$$$$$$$#*$$$$$$$$$$$$? $$UUI$$$$$$$?!!!!!!~<:<!!!!!!!!!!*$$$$$$WU!XWWI$$$$$$$$$X $$$$$$$$$$$#!!!!!<:<!!<~~~~~~!!:~!#$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! $$$$$$$$$$M!!!!!:XXX!::~~~: ~~~<!#$$$$$$B$$$$$$$$$Q?*$W $$$$$$$$$$!!!W$$$$$$!!!!:.~ ~~!$$$$$WS$R$$$$$$$UXU#T $$$$$$$$$$M!M$$RMMR!!!!!!!!<<: ~!*$$$$$8MM$$$$$$$$$WW $$$$$$$$$$$!!#*?!!I@W!!!<~ ~ ~"$$$$$$8?$$$$$$$$$$ B$$$$$$$$$$!!~~~!#$$$8WH!!:: !$$$$$$W8?$$$$$#$$ $$$$$$$$$$$!~ ~!#R$$$*!!!:: !$$$$$$$BH$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$#~ :!U$$*!!!!!<~ !$$$$$$$$$$T*$$$$* $$$$$$$$$!~ ~:!#T!!!!!~~ !$$$$$$$$$$$8#T!!8 $$$$$$$$" ~~!!!!!!<~~~ !R$$$$$$$$$$$8!HH$ $$$$$$#~~ :~:!!!!!!~~~~ !M$$$$$$$$$$$$@MM* $$$$$#!~~~: : ~!!!!!!~~ ~~ !!!?*$$$$$$$@8!!XX $$$T!!~~::<~~~~~!!!!~~~~ ~~~ ~!!!?!?#$$$$$$Si$$ $$B!~ ::::. ~~~!!!<~~~ ~~!!!!!!!?M#R$W$$$ $$$U!!<!!!!x::::!!!< ~~ ~~!!!!!!!!!R$$$$ $$$$$Uiu.:!~~!!:~!!!~~:: ~ ~~~!!!!SM*$$ $$$$$$$$$!!:<!~~~!!!<~~~ ~ ~~!!8$!T$ $$$$$$$$$!!!!~~~~~!!~~~~ ~::!X8*$$WQ $$$$$$$$$!X!!!!:::!!:~~: !XUW8$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$8H!!!!!!!?!~ :i$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$R?!!!!~~~ ~!: ~U$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$R!!!~~~ ~ ~~~~ !$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$S!!!~~~ ~~ ~~ : !$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$*!!!<~~ :: ::~ ~~~!:!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$#!!!~~~~ ~ :: :~~~:!:!!!!W$$$$$$$B*$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$!!!~~~~ :~ : ~~:<:!!!!!!!UW$$$$$$$$$$?$$$$$ $$$$$$$$WX!:::~::~~:~:::::::!!!!!!!!!!W*$$$$$$$$$#B!!$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$WWUUXUiUU!XXXXXX!!!!!!!!<~~!$~~#$$$RRRR$$W!B$B$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$8?!!!!!~~~~~!!~~!T$$!?SM$$$XW$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$WU!<!~~ ~~!! <!~*$H88MR#M$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$U!:~~::~!~:~<~~$$$$$MXW$$#?* $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$U!:~~~~!:<!!:!$B$$$$Q$$$!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$W!!!~~~~~~W@M$$$$$$$$$M!~! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$W!!<~~~!!!!8B$$$$$$$?!!-! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$X!<:~~!!XSM$$$$$*#~~~!!U $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$X!!:~!!H8$$$$?!!~~~~<!$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!S$$$$R?!!~~~::!W$ And here's a snapshot from when I was randomly fiddling with the colormap by hand.
