Kerrigan from Starcraft 2 loading screen. It's been a second since I've drawn anything on paper, haha.

Oh man, your academic paintings are awesome @__@
How do you even with a palette knife. How do you even.
The third painting honestly freaks me out a lil bit since they look purposefully doll-like (or maybe cyborg like for that mohawk dude) but the way you use colors is just so interesting.
Hahaha! I have no Idea, He just wanted us to use the palette knife for a change.
The third one was mannequins at first, but I went wild with my imagination X)
And thanks!
Tried drawing Tyrion Lannister... HERP DERP

I am not satisfied.
Edit: I am satisfied with this, though!

Do we not have a generic art dump thread? I didn't see a generic art dump thread. So I made a generic art dump thread.
So we went to a mommy-daddy-baby art class (for 2-5yos). With a basic canvas, some tempera paints (at least, I think they were tempera - I didn't ask), some masking tape, and glitter paint, we did this:
The one I made with Lucas (2yo)
The one my wife made with Cayden (4yo)
Sorry about the bad quality photos - I used my phone in poor light conditions and I can't hold my hands very steady.
It was really fun to do! First we put down some masking tape in patterns (it was hard to do with 1 hand with a 2yo on your lap). then we painted! then we did a bit of glitter paint. then after it dried a bit, we peeled off the tape and then put some paint in a baggie, cut a super tiny hole, and sprayed it on the canvas. A fun little project.
Lucas had never really painted before, but he picked up the nuances of holding a brush, dipping paint and then painting very fast.
E: oh yeah, there was also a stage where we used some bubble wrap to add texture to our painting (between the painting and glitter stage)

Just a world revolving around Pi and cubism.

If you've been paying attention, you may have noticed I drew a similar concept and uploaded it somewhere that probably wasn't anywhere here... i forget!
But this here is that sketch.

Yay, random art is active!
@zoviet_francis there are no judgments here. Post what you want SFW and get praise or advice or both!
@BizarreMonkey I love the concept.
@Link it reminds me of LucasArts in the early 90's! Very crisp, and I instantly recognized him. Very readable, even small. Good work!
@NewBlack you rock
@Kentona that does look like fun, and if you bought the materials, you could do a lot with that process. Fully painted pixels! Imagine if you made a game using art by your kids? It'd be mad.

@Dude if you insist. :/ These are some pen-and-ink sketches that I found lying around in a booklet of mine. According to the signature of a couple of them they were done just last year and yet I barely recall doing these at all. I just want certain people in this thread to know - you set overly high standards for yourselves. Of course perfection is something that is nigh-impossible to strive for and continuously improving on your craftsmanship is an admirable goal to achieve but look at these - look at these - and you won't feel so bad. Dudesoft, for example, your Tyrion Lannister is great! It may not be a very good Peter Dinklage, but I think "Song of Fire & Ice" instead of "Game of Thrones" (besides the first book) so your visual interpretation of the character is perfectly valid.
I have about - 7 pen sketches from this book. I doodle all the time so I probably could find all kinds of crap lying around other places too. I have some pencil sketches in a storage room that I haven't seen in years so I don't even remember what they look like let alone if they hold up.
I'll share a few for now, maybe more later if anyone cares.
I don't have a scanner so I had to take photos of these with my phone so the lighting/alignment is off compared to the original drawings. The files also ended up being gargantuan in size so I resized most of them to something more reasonable.
Well, not this one. This is actually excerpted from a bigger picture that I cut out because 1) the camera flash captured some unsavory-looking invisible, dry pen scratches and a bright middle light and 2) the rest of it is even crappier than this. :) In my defense of this it was intended as a "quickie" drawing compared to the others (hidden b/c of size).
Faces. Yeah.

Idk.

I have a couple more drawings that I think are much better than these, and one larger drawing that I don't think is particularly good (but it's large! relatively speaking) and another that is sort of a character concept for my hypothetical future RPG Maker (or whatever game program) game that I'd rather keep to myself until I'm ready to do something with it.

Looking at these pictures from the perspective of an Internet forum about artwork of very high standards, I already have noticed things really wrong with one of the pictures. I'm talking about the one with the three faces.
First, the dude on the top left. His ear. Besides me bungling the ear so badly it looks more like a berry Danish pasted to the side of his head than an ear, I noticed, angle-wise, it's... it's...
As you can see, the "ear" juts outward quite a bit relative to the side of the head. So essentially this is what his ear probably looks like were you to shave the hair away...
Yeah, I wasn't happy to see how that turned out. :/
Now the guy on the right...
It looks like I got lazy with the teeth. With a very simple, clean, maybe cartoony drawing, a rectangle with line divisions within them would make for acceptable teeth but, even though these are messy, line-ridden pen sketches I wanted some degree of "complexity" to these so me skimping out on the teeth... smh last year's self. What were you thinking?
Another thing about the guy on the right. I recently "added in" some hair on the side because before it looked... not right. It looked to me now his hair was fuller and more... right. Unfortunately either due to the camera light or that the pen I used did not blend with whatever pen I used last year, something ends up not looking right.
The white line there is the divide between the older, darker hair and the newer hair I added which, honest, I thought looked OK on the sketchbook but didn't know it'd look like it did when I transferred it via camera to the web!
OK now with those self-criticisms out of the way you don't have to bring them up to me now, and can instead tell me what else is horribly wrong with these pictures instead. ;)

Man, your emerging style reminds me of a guy I knew in highschool. He always drew the weirdest shit with ballpoint pen. I love that shit.

It is a green dog, riding a blue convertable, ears flapping in the wind, with rad shades.
That is all.
That looks better than the first try, Jo~
Could I recommend you move the eyes down a bit and maybe make them a little bigger? Your eyes usually end about half-way down your nose and your eyebrows connect where the top of the nose ends, so a bit more space between the eyebrows and the eyes (remember, people have eyelids and sockets) would probably help balance the face out a little better.
