Artists! QRB with your women art!

Wow I really need to draw more ladies...
A watercolour sketch of Sister Argenta, a character from the game "Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader" surrounded by dark clouds. Light shines from her chest as she prays holding a rosary. A digital drawing of Mao Mao, the main character of "The Apothecary Diaries". She is bowing with a somewhat bored expression on her face. Digital sketches of the character Hornet from the game "Hollow Knight" wearing a series of oversized graphic tees. In one drawing she has just woken up from a nap next to some fluffy fleas. In the rest, she is holding a mug that says "#1 Knife Thrower". A pencil sketch of the character Bridget, from the "Guilty Gear"-series.

"Sister Argenta shines like a guiding star, inspiring resolve in those around her, seemingly inexplicably. However, I see a dark and ugly fog billow behind her, contrasting sharply with her shining light. It burdens the Sister of Battle. It drags her down. Yet Argenta herself is hardly aware of it."
A watercolour illustration of Sister Argenta, a Sister of Battle from the game "Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader". She holding a rosary in her hands, eyes closed in prayer, as a light shines from her chest outwards. The golden light envelopes her in a golden glow as dark billowing clouds surround her.

Okay, maybe my sense of humour hasn't changed that much.
I laughed.
GG 2016 David.
A two-panel comic. The top one features a bedroom with a Revenant (a skeletal enemy from the video game DOOM) tucking a smaller Revenant into bed. The second panel features the Revenant checking under the bed and finding the DOOM Guy hiding underneath with a super shotgun. Panel 1: Small Revenent: "Dad, will you check for monsters under my bed?" Dad Revenant: "Of course honey. But you know, there's no such thing as monst-" Panel 2: Dad Revenant: "OH SHIT-NUGGETS"

1st one is from is from 2016-17 and I think it's pretty good, but bubble wrap + Junichi Yamakawa face was probably a lot funnier to me at 19 than now. 2nd is unknown.
3rd was an entry for a Khwezi fanart contest I couldn't finish on time. I think it's surprisingly good. I should try colouring it.
A three panel black and white comic. The first panel shows someone in a room full of boxes, holding a sheet of bubble-wrap. The second panel shows the person's hands popping one of the bubbles, accompanied by a large "POP". The third panel shows the person surrounded by sparkles, with an expression imitating the style of the artist Junichi Yamakawa. A drawing in green felt-tip pen of an armoured elf pointing a sword towards the viewer. A black and white homage to the cover of Action Comics #1 by Joe Schuster. Instead of Superman, it features the South African super hero, Khwezi, smashing a quantum minibus taxi.

These are from 2016 to 2017, I believe? I think I was doing some kind of drawing challenge on DeviantArt, right before I stopped posting there completely.

I actually really like the boat drawing. Maybe I should redo it for a profile pic?
A pencil drawing of an armoured skeleton with an arrow sticking out of its eye. A drawing of a red headed boy wearing headphones drawing on a small boat . There are stars on a red and green background. The red might be clouds, but I'm not entirely sure. A simple marker drawing of a woman holding an umbrella wearing a blue coat and a yellow and orange striped scarf and beanie. A felt-tip pen drawing of a cartoon giraffe with traditional Ndebele neck rings and a blanket. Below that is another drawing of a cartoon zebra holding a spear. He is wearing either sunglasses or goggles.

Found a bunch of my old art from HS/Uni days on Google Drive and I'm surprised how much of it I don't completely hate?

So, old art thread, I guess?

These are all from 2016, I believe? Probably from just after I graduated HS. I remember hating some of it, but now I think they're actually decent?
A drawing of the Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2, lovingly holding his minigun. Drawn with microns and markers. A line drawing of a Xhosa bride in felt-tip pen. A drawing of a girl shining a flashlight in a dark store room as a multi-limbed monster looms behind her. A drawing of the character Steven Universe inside a pink bubble made with markers and felt-tip pens.

Me when sword is too big:
"Weee :P"

Me when sword has really awkward proportions :
"OMG PLEASE just add 20% handle and blade length! Or make the blade 20% thinner! This artist is evil and hates me!"

Me when gun is too big, awkwardly balanced, and makes absolutely no sense mechanically:
"Weee :P"

I'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!!
Kirby dressed as the character Caleb from Monilith's 1997 fps masterpiece, Blood. He holds the life leech and a tommy gun. There's a pile of spent bullet casing and an eyeball on the floor.

Feel like I'm going to get lot of use out of this one tbh
A simple 4 panel comic. Panel 1: A stickman with long hair holds a smiley face and says "This is my favourite thing!" Panel 2: A close-up shot of the smiley face. It says : "I'm using AI to-". Panel 3: The stickman no has a more detailed, frowning face. The smiley face is now stammering and looks worried. Panel 4: The stickman shouts "NYEH!"t and tosses the crying smiley face into the distance.

"I am not spending my one precious life on this earth drawing a fucking keyboard in perspsective," I say as I draw the stupid perspective grid and do it anyway because I guess I hate myself?

I can already spot a bunch of mistakes so I guess it's good practice, at least?
A stupid bad perspective grid for a stupid bad keyboard I should not be wasting time on. The words "why did I draw this???" are scrawled at the top, because why indeed?
