Hey all. I decided to quickly sketch myself an avatar for this forum, and having done that I figure I may as well post some art (mostly old) for you to look at. Plus the high-resolution version of my current avatar! Exciting times.
Old noir-y image

Drew this ages ago when I was first testing out Inkscape, mainly as a quick messsing-around with filters/blurs/transparencies. I think it came out nicely, though.
Some RPG characters

Usually when I make a D&D character I throw together a quick image so I can visualise them. Here's three: a half-orc bardbarian I never actually got to play; Susan Cheeryfist, dwarven con artist and single-classed Mastermind, who only got played for three levels; and Samuel Gallagher, a detective pastiche who was a Battle Master / Inquisitive.

At one point I was planning on running a V5 game. That didn't work out, partly because I couldn't be too bothered, my group doesn't schedule too often, and I wanted to do something else. Still, drew these NPCs up, liked how they turned out. If you're familiar with VTM terms: the one on the left was a Brujah Prince, the one on the right was a Tremere Sheriff. It was going to be a London-based campaign, which I thought could be fun.
OotS-styled art
My usual style is pretty OotS-like already, but I made two avatars deliberately in OotS style, for here. Here's them given a bit of an embiggening.

Not an aficionado of old '80s cartoons? It's Eric! From the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon.

Some might have twigged onto that my username is a Discworld reference. They are, in fact, some of my favourite books! Here's Sam Vimes, the central character of most of the Watch books. I couldn't decide if I wanted to give him proper trousers or not, so have both.
Other stuff

Sometimes I draw quick fan-art to serve as an avatar somewhere. So here's Looker from Pokémon, who I used for, you guessed it, a few Pokémon-based forums. Now, for the avatar I cropped out most of the body / lower-half, but here it is in full. Well-detailed legs, eh?

You may or may not be familiar with Fallen London, an online text / CYOA-styled game. Every year they do a little mayoral election where players get to pick between one of three characters; here's some art I drew about two of them. The character on the left is the Jovial Contrarian, who did indeed win. The character on the right is Virginia, who also won -- but alas, that time I voted for someone else! As you can see, I shamelessly reused her drawing when sketching the VTM art. Waste not, want not.
