This is easily my worst pic of the year. I think I did much better on the redraw

Yeah, we're like that.
I don't really have any 'worst' stuff because it either doesn't get saved or is deleted pretty sharpish... but I have drawn some stinkers for sure... I just make sure they get sent to hell 
This one however slipped through the cracks because it's (was) part of a comic (front cover if you hadn't guessed)... god... the eyes... the jaw... the hair... so... bad...
Of course, that isn't my true worst as I said, since they no longer exist

For obvious reasons, too.
We can see the art as we envisioned it in our heads - perfect. Then we see what we've drawn. Sometimes, there are a few little things that the artist hates but noone else will notice in a million years, simply because the artist is the one who put it there and doesn't need to look to see it. Sometimes, everything is ALL WRONG.
Artists see art a lot differently than everyone else does. Especially our own. It sux to be us. 
Totally, in my mind I've got a billion masterpieces... it just doesn't come out of my hands right.
And of course there's the fact that after about a month you've improved and your old stuff just looks like junk to yourself anyway
Even worse than that, though, is when you find a piece of art you did a year or so earlier and think it looks better than what you're currently doing. *sobs*

Ummm... is it just me or does it look like he's touching himself? 
Just you.
regardless of what people have done. i personally think that they should be encourage to keep going/practicing. unless you don't learn from your mistakes you only get better. and you know what they say "you are your worst critic."
buuuuuuttt, for me (personally) i would have to say my worst one yet is cuppa jo

Oh yeah, that's another reason I hate it... he's meant to be walking, not having a happy fun time...

KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
Um, I'm a little confused by the above post.
Anyone else able to understand?
(personally, I think that is a fantastic pic) /shrug
I have to agree with Juggy. *peers intently again at picture*
Nope, still looks awesome!
I think s/he's under the mistaken impression that this thread is some sort of "I suck" cry for attention-getting kind of thing in a backhanded sort of way. Seeing as how it ISN'T remotely anything of the sort, the whole post just kind of falls flat on its face.
My understanding is that this thread is pretty much dedicated to the notion that ALL artists, even the best among us, have our off days and failures, often a lot more than people think. The only change that comes is how often and how obvious the bad stuff comes up.
Unfortunately, I dont' have any of my cruddy stuff handy, as it rarely makes it to the scanner. Though, I could dig out some 3D work that bites, I suppose. Let's see....
Well, on the 3D side, I do mostly hardware type stuff. Starships are my specialty, though I also do a variety of prop work and the like as well. This and this are progress shot of an attempt to update the design of the venerable Miranda-class from Star Trek II to the "present day" design style shown with the most recent Enterprise(the Sovereign-class, from Nemesis and such). Things were going smoothly, until I hit a point whee I couldn't make anything work and I started to hate what I'd already done-- the enter back portion of the hull and the bulge for the deflector on the bottom are pretty horrid(my hull iz pastid on yey).
Handdrawn-wise, there's this, which is a concept sketch for armor I did for a Star Wars-based RPG I play online. The concept is so-so, the art is so-so... the whole thing's just a little 'eh'.
These probably aren't my worst pieces of the year, but they certainly rank up there in my mind, especially discounting sketchwork that was so bad I didn't even finish the sketch.

Yeah... that post... was confusing at best and just damn insulting at worst.
So I guess we're on to the best of 2007 
Check it out! My first pic!
I love looking at it. It makes me appreciate my progress. In only 7 months, too!
You've definitely come a long way Aaron hehe <^o^>

I think the reason that people aren't negative is people would be more then happy with a pic that is considered "bad" by these artists.

They must STOP coddling me, then! 
I think my worst for the year was Light-Speed. That's safe to say since she's my own character... which also means that I probably had the highest hopes for it being cool.
As for why it's not good, shes WAY too stiff. I wanted to capture her just about to land from a jump. If I had gotten it right, she'd be leaned back, limbs bent to cushion the landing, torso forward with the motion, etc etc. It just isn't what I wanted.
Someday, I might go back and redo it. But probably not.
Here's a reminder; LIGHT-SPEED poster
Yeah, DJ. You are such a horrible artist and Lightspeed is SUCH a bad piece.
I know what is wrong with it but when your worst is better than my best I get angry.
You wouldn't like me when I am angry.
End Of Man - Ill/emp Troller <- First 50.
Robosaurus - Robo/Dark <- Second 50

<,< DJ - while I agree that is probably the worst piece of yours I've seen from the entire last year...

I really wish I hadn't been eating when I read through this thread, because Archlight's flatulent Vahzilok presentation almost caused me to choke due to laughter.
I think this one'd be my worst. And I'm sorry Hexy I'll have to draw you a new one.
I feel bad now...
