Here's one that I've been playing with. Tell me what you think of it? How
could I make it better?

it is basically simple stuff that distinguishes "hand-made" ascii art and 
converted:

  db                  WW
 dWWb    Note the    WWWW
dWWWWb  difference  WWWWWW
YWWWWP              WWWWWW
 YWWP  <--------->   WWWW
  YP                  WW

But I think there is nothing wrong with using converters. it takes me still 
over an hour to create an ascii image though I use a converter, because I have 
to prepare the picture so it is not too confusing and there is a lot of work to 
be done after the conversion.
