Bill Atkinson of Apple developed a new dithering algorithm for early Macs. I wonder if it was used for this rendering.

The author says “Software-wise I use Aldus SuperPaint 3.0”, so I expect it was drawn 100% by hand.
yes, I drew it 100% by hand :-)
Bill Atkinson's dithering algorithm is great, and I use it for photos when I put them on the blog, to keep them aesthetically in line with the rest of the site
You are probably right. Author could of course have neglected to mention their ThunderScan or whatever but looking closely at the image it does not show dithering but rather a concerted attempt at using regular but changing patterns to achieve, for example, the gradient in the background.
