"Rot13" is great for obscuring the content of off-color jokes in
rec.humor.funny, but it doesn't have much visible effect on the
pictures in question.  

It may work a *little* better for ASCII line art, but not always
enough to hide what the picture is.  The bigger the picture, the less
noticeable the effect of Rot13 will be.
