Share your old, outdated and possibly slightly embarassing fanart!

[liquidlilium]

So I was sorting old pictures on Deviantart and found and old Pokemon GO comic I made.
I don't even have Pokemon GO on my phone anymore..
Which inspired me to create this thread.

Do anyone else have fanart from fandoms or trends you got completely swept up in, only to leave them wondering how you even got involved in the first place?
If so, feel free to share the artefacts from that confusing time of your life in this thread

Here's my first contribution:

I might add some older, waay cringier fanart later

[joannekwan]

YES here's my really shitty Scout from 2011

I played TF2 for maybe a total of 2 days?
This was before I had an actual gaming computer so maybe I would have gone on longer had I had one at the time. But I love all the characters and feel the game has a great strong visual design to this day.

Time for some 2012 cringe...

I'm not sure why I even liked miku hatsune. I still kind of like precure.

[lunaartemisasama]

When I liked Bleach (2006)

I don't know if this is Gorillaz fanart or Pokémon fanart. An absurd hybrid mayhaps? I made it probably... 2007/8 for my webcam slot on dA (so fashionable).

heres the oldest pic on my deviantart from 2011

and uh, this, from 2013

[Samuraiflame]

I barely drew fanart buuuuuut my weakness was (and still is) Saiyuki. This was from 2013.

[VibrantFox]

I actually dedicated two updates to sharing some of my old fanart here and here

what didn't go up were the highlights like a Sonic i drew back in 2013

I'm glad my hs art teacher accepted without complaint (especially for a senior)

also some MLP that randomly happened somewhere in 2014/2015

the only pieces of old fanart i was actually proud of happened in 2015

I still draw fanart from time to time but not a whole lot of it gets shared

[dawgofdawgness]

Ah yes, trash art from 2016

[fuyudust]

Here comes Wendy, one day she suddenly appeared everywhere on my facebook and deviantart feed. I had no idea why she was trending in the first place, but I was trying to do fanart at the time so I drew her anyway

[Viro_Veteruscy]

Pretty old but I still had fun with it. May make more this weekend if I have the time.

Wendy became popular because she was savage in the way she replied on twitter, then, one guy drew her as a smug anime girl, and one thing led to another and that kids is how Wendy`s hype happened.

[DiegoPalacios]

Did you fused gardevoir with my little pony???

That`s actually a creative and kind of cool design

[yurineseventeen]

Sept 2016

[VibrantFox]

That's actually some of the earliest iterations of one of my current characters

Lucid (former name Lucid Dream) typically referred to as Luci

Although I wish I had been capable enough to draw any of the existing Pokemon back then

[TheKawaiiGarden]

I have two pieces I did in 2016 other than that I haven't really done much fanart~

My Animal Crossing : New Leaf town at that time

---

And some Undertale fanart I did when I was listening to the soundtrack (specifically this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLlNQtkDWLo)

I'm still really happy how this one came out, I think I managed to capture atmosphere I was going for.

[storytimebiondi]

Oh gods... Well, here's Nephanee from Fire Emblem Path of Radiance.... from waay back in the days of 2008
Edit: The background is totally stolen from the box art. haha!

[Alamino]

Link and Fi from 2013
Though I cant lie, I wish I remembered how I did those light beams ....

[ericsalinas149]

Here is fanart of Lisa, from the webcomic 'Penny & Aggie' which ran from 2003 to 2011. I drew this back in 2006.

[FatedComics]

here's some super embarrassing Undertale fanart I made in 2015 on my phone, I used to post this terrible art on Drawcast of all places.
