One of the first drawings I did when I "acquired" Photoshop CS6, which I use to this day: an airbrush drawing of a giant hand reaching for a stick figure. There is red text that reads "This makes no sense oh god help me", which betrays that I was probably reading the Something Awful forums at that time. There is a big red mound covered in green moss, which I know is meant to be a tongue. The linework was done using the "pen" tool in Photoshop, because I was drawing with a mouse rather than a graphics tablet. So every line tapers off into a sharp end because that's the only way to get the semblance pen pressure with the pen vector tool.
A pikachu mouse drawing, another pen vector drawing done in photoshop. Everything is drawn in air brush so it's really blurry. The pikachu has blank white circle eyes, no nose, and a flat line mouth, as was popular in deviantart chibis at the time. I was probably copying a MapleStory expression of the emoticon o_o. It has worried eyebrows too, and really short arms and legs. It's bright piss yellow with orange shadows, and bright red blush.
An MS paint mouse drawing of the pokemon Grimer. The art style is reminiscent of the "troll art" that was popular on the Something Awful forums at the time, which is cartoony and simple but also intentionally ugly with wrinkles. It has a very large pink smile (not truly happy, more blank) with nubby rounded teeth. It has sharp white highlights on its purple folds. It has little circle eyes with a small pinprick iris in each one. The background is very bright pink with sharp explosion lines in red and purple, as well as little pixel dots decorating the pink outline of the Grimer.
A MS paint pixel art of a turtle with evil skull face. It was done to emulate the MapleStory art style, because I was playing a lot of MapleStory at the time. The pillow shading is flat, with the lightest green on the left and the darkest green on the right. The turtle is hunched over on 4 legs with small, unconnected yellow toenails on its elephant-like feet, no under-shell, and had red eyes with a white glowing centre meant to represent evil shine like Skeletor. It has skull teeth with no bottom jaw. It is drooling light cyan liquid down from its jawless mouth. It has a lizard-like tail.
