This time decided to create some characters from Newgrounds, as well as a few more memes and other images I had in mind...:
1) Grumpy Cat
2) Socially Awkward Penguin
3) O RLY?
4) Strongbad
5) Homestar Runner
6) Pico (Newgrounds)
7) Dad N Me
8) Angry Face
9) Tankmen
10) Mona Lisa
11) Shy Guy
12) Mr. Popo
Right now I have enough images to get me through question #12, but I will need someone to draw up a BSOD image soon. Here's a reference image if you need one.
The error should start with "A problem has been detected...", with that text being cut off on the edge of the screen. Maybe mention an ERROR_MATH or something like that, and also include "TASBot" in the error message as well. If possible, I'd prefer it to be white text on a black background, but if that isn't doable that's fine.
I had tried drawing the BSoD before, the problem I encountered is that there's "to much" text that using a black background simple takes to much space to make a word, even more a full sentence. You can surely use the font text but the size is still to big for it plus the proportions doesn't look like a true BSoD. (Even a short message wouldn't feel like a real error screen in my opinion...)
I was thinking right now that maybe use a different error, something like "error 404 - Handwriting number recognition not found"...

my out-loud todo (I GOT FREE TIME BACK! HELL YES!):
Again, another batch of drawings:
1. NES cartridge - Was considering doing something for the sticker, but had no ideas so I left it blank.
2. Dr. Kawashima - The character from Brain Age
3. The Creation of Adam - A fresco painting by Michelangelo. I was thinking on giving a shot to a few famous paintings, but due to painting restrictions I think it'll be difficult if not impossible to create more, like say The Mona Lisa...
4. Weighted Companion Cube - The cube from Portal games
5. Aperture Science - Logo of Cave Johnson's company in Portal games
6. Bandage Girl - Character from Super Meat Boy
7. Dr. Fetus - Character from Super Meat Boy
8. Goo - Character from World of Goo
9. Alien Hominid - self explanatory
10. Dota 2 Logo - self explanatory
I see the Technical part as how much research was done in the game: Studying the RAM, disassembling the game, comparing times other runs of the same game, scripts used, etc.
So even if a run doesn't look impressive, when you read the description you can realize how much background it has and have an idea of the quality of the run.
Maybe Portal can be made looking more broken, not just with parallel portals? Unless this one is some meme already.
Usually there's something in between, like text (But the pose is that one). There's also the same image but falling. Maybe switching the parts or even rotating them look better, I'll give it a try:

I played around with the Yetee drawing to optimize some of the lines for Brain Age.
I tried to make thicker lines but should had considered that straight lines (horizontal and vertical) can simple be left with 4 pixels, although sometimes the proportions of thickness doesn't look as good. I'll try to keep it in mind so you don't have much extra work when revising the images.
Loved that ending, made me giggle and smile :D
Also I have a new batch of drawings
1. Doctors without Borders - The logo of the cause of the event
2. Alienware - It was one of the sponsors last year, so maybe it will also be next year.
3. Portal - Now you're thinking with portals
4. Cake - The cake is (not) a lie
5. Checkers - Tried to do a Chessboard set but it looked ugly
Also tried to do something simple, a honeycomb, but didn't quite liked the results (as is not something striking). Here are the links though: 1, 2, 3
Haven't thought of many drawings lately. I tried to focus this time more on GDQ:
1. Nintendo Controller - Considering what has mentioned about copyright this may be a miss, but I decided to create it anyways because it's simple. Was considering whether or not to add the cord, but decided not to in the end.
2. Heaven (Ten) - It's the kanji that Akuma has on his back (when he performs his special). I was thinking it could be used as when the answer is ten (10).
3. Utah teapot or Newell teapot - A famous teapot used in 3D modeling. Was thinking on adding some light effect into it, but it's hard with the limitations...
4. Twitch's logo - Considering the stream takes place there I thought it was a good idea to create its logo.
5. Theyetee - One of the sponsors of GDQ (that's their mascot).
6. Caleb Hart - A speed runner that shows his Bodybuilder body. Due to the pencil restrictions, I couldn't add more details like the glasses he uses... Even if the person is not recognized, the flexing pose should be recognized. (I'm bad with drawing people :S)
We need to avoid any copyrighted material for the art we show on stream at AGDQ*. This includes the Futurama images, Nintendo related stuff, and anything of the sort. References to indie games should be ok however (Minecraft, Super Meat Boy, Shovel Knight, etc.).
Well, I guess there goes the "I will not..." meme of Bart Simpson:
On other news, I added some text to the GDQ Logo. Tried to make the text look different than the font one, but not quite convinced in the results, so I may tweak it a little:
I can't wait for the finished TAS, loving those videos :D
Here are a few more images:
1st is the Harvest Moon cow
2nd is Mario from Super Mario Bros 3 (just like in the favicon and image on the corner)
3rd is my version of FrankerZ (previously done by Antiweasel)
Last one is the logo of GDQ. I intentionally left space below to be able to add something else, like the year perhaps.
Nice to finally see that this game got a TAS :D (I'll watch it tomorrow as I'm heading to bed).
Just wonder something, what's the in-game timer for beating the game?
I was thinking on doing the SMB jumping, just like the one used in the favicon of the site, with the pixel style used on the goomba (and Jumpman).
As for filling the mushroom (or fire flower), you can open Paint and use the bucket to do it. I tried and didn't quite liked it, hence why I left it as it is.
Here are 2 more images:

Write clearly the right answer, manipulate it to be recognized wrongly, erase, draw "Challenge Accepted"?
Yea I like that. I was thinking on using the meme faces with some sort of story & that's a great idea.
Also had in mind drawing a tic-tac-toe, but that's to simple to bother creating an image out of it that I haven't done it.
Thanks for the feedback
For the Goomba I looked on the logo here (top-left corner) and decided to go that style intentionally. micro500 used the same style to create Jumpman a few post below (in the youtube video).
The flower has the New Super Mario Bros style because I found it easy to draw and still recognizable (otherwise should had gone with SMB1 style). I didn't attempt to not fill the flower, so I don't know how it would look. But I'll create an alternative version w/o the fill.
Edit:
The Freecell king was just like a joke image :P (Created it because it was simple)
The F-zero images come from F-zero GX. These are the emblems of the characters & that's their look. I created Goroh because of myself & decided to also create Falcon because they are rivals. Like the king above, I created them mostly for myself, they don't have to be used just because they exist (But the F-zero drawings are some of the ones I like the most...).
Yea, it's Cammy and not Aerith.
I didn't put much effort on Sonic and as result some lines didn't look curvy, probably will retouch some details later.
Talking about Jagg2zero, he just posted 2 more TASes of this game:
Vanilla Track: Rainbow Road [1'07"160]
Link to video
Custom Track: Odd Town 4 - France [0'52"246]
Link to video
I see this variant as one of those goals that are nice to know but because it falls into "repeat x pattern" kind of takes out some entertain (like when in RPG you need to stay a while to gain levels).
All in all, I vote yes because it was interesting (and as Bisqwit commented, the speedy version of the cloud theme is nice to hear).
BTW, in the water levels I wondered if it could be faster to perform a bug that moves you from the bottom to the top where the current pulls you down (4:23 and 16:58 of the youtube video encode). I don't recall this bug being explained before (as it doesn't even appear on the Game Resources) but all you have to do is press B when you're about to die and you'll appear on top of the screen... (instead of having to swim through the wall)
Decided to create a version of the Kappa, this one has a black background...:
Maybe I have to redo the cheeks at it makes him look a bit chubby (I added them at last minute)
