What's the worst work of art you've ever made? (lemm.ee)

I made a new community for art in the style of the old roast subs and was wondering. It tends to make people feel better about what they've made to hear about what others have.

I went through a terrible in-between phase where I first went from drawing cartoony people to trying to draw more realistic ones. Never had an art class or anything, pretty sure I have aphantasia too, so I was just raw dogging it until I learned how to use refs. I specifically remember constantly attaching the thumb at a weird angle and wondering why my characters looked like they had crab claws.

That or some niche porn because I started thinking too hard about how my interspecies characters would have sex. Most of my characters aren't even attractive to me but that didn't keep me from drawing them doing shit to each other's junk.

Also My Little Pony crossover fan art but it was just characters facing left on a white background.
