A screenshot of the above post and the 'post not found' of whatever it was replying to.
The Portrait of Pope Julius II by Raphael, but with a face that looks like it was drawn in crayon because there is a tiny tube-man hiding in front of it. From the game 'Meccha Chameleon', a prop-hunt style game where you paint yourself to hide in the environment.
Immediately above the post about loving human artists, there is a still from an animated short from Legends of Avantris featuring Chuckles the clown having just drunk from a flagon of piss. This is not a counterpoint to Cat's post, but in fact a shining, glorious example.
Multiple screenshots from Abiotic Factor of the Security Sector, which is normally entirely coated in blood splatters to imply the horrific fates of the people who used to work there, now perfectly clean (but still dark and monster-filled).
Dr. Loboto from the Psychonauts games

A casserole dish that appears to be mostly filled with brown goo and some browned colby-jack cheese. The plated version was even less attractive, but I promise it tastes great.
The 'Congratulations' post for having crafted the Guild Wars 2 Legendary, 'The Predator'.
A finished pot of corn and potato chowder in a pot on the stove, with a bowl full of it to the side.
The ingredients for potato and corn chowder laid out across a countertop. Cobs of corn are boiling in a pot on the stovetop.
A dramatic, arcane explosion frames a strange, robot-man with a pumpkin on his head in fiery light.
The Steam overlay showing 100% achievements unlocked in Power Wash Simulator 2.
A sunburned figure stands with a hook in one hand and the other hand rested against the mast of a makeshift sail. They stare out over water filled with garbage and a shark towards a deep water platform on the horizon.
A dwarf digs at a rock wall in the foreground while another in a Fey Mood is rounding the corner with a bucket filled with gems and bones. Behind them down another hall, an Ancient Beast is about to introduce everyone to the concept of Fun.
A figure in blue leather armor stands on a rocky outcropping holding a copper-tipped polearm. Over another hill, through fog and shadow, the shape of a Troll can be seen looming over the player.
A squared-off landscape of trees and grass and bushes. There is a dear in the middle distance, some geese in the air, and an airship flying by in the upper distance.
A circle with little arms and legs is holding a gun and making an extremely worried face as a massive explosion approaches them from off-screen.
In a dark room lit by a pink neon sign, a standing figure has crept out of a wall vent with a pair of handcuffs and is standing over someone in a bed. The standing figure is saying 'Shhh... You're under arrest...'
An edited photo of two hands in front of a computer screen, with radiating pain lines over the right wrist. On the screen, the hands were clearly playing PowerWash Simulator 2 (and watching Dropout on the other screen) and was seized by this wrist pain in the middle of washing a dick into the latest building.
A dwarven figure is asking yet another question about the setting while the NPC is clearly losing his mind at the end of the table. Two figures off-screen are attempting to get their party member to stop talking, and a stitched-together woman on the other side of the table is sitting there with no reaction to anything happening.
A split image. In the top left corner, the face of a girl in a paper mask is lightly illuminated by the muzzle flash of a sniper rifle. In the main image, a white line emerges from a small shack backlit by the moon. From there, it streaks between the bloodied head of a glowing yellow figure in the distance, off the panel to the right into a massive explosion, and curves back up into view towards the head of a second yellow figure in the foreground, revealing itself to be the trail of a bullet.
A screenshot of the Scorched Acres environment from Risk of Rain 2. A raingunner is making a leaping shot at the eye of an Imp Overlord, while a number of lesser wisps and a Greater wisp hover in the background.
A still image background taken from work heavily inspired by the Glitch animated show, The Amazing Digital Circus. A string-bean of a character that looks like an octopus crammed into the helmet of an old diving suit is looking worriedly at Kinger, who seems to be attempting to make them feel better by pointing out a nice little butterfly.
A bearded figure with long hair, a grey jacket, and sunglasses leans back in a chair, looking nonchalant except for the beads of sweat rolling down his face. He has several stacks of chips in front of him, at least two aces in an obscured poker hand, and several items in front of him: A banana, an egg with a face painted on it, a bottle of cola, and some sort of ballot slip with a hole-punched card with the punched part not quite loose from the rest of the sheet. In the foreground, a hand points a gun at the man, presumably for cheating.
A bearded figure with a bandaged leg kneels over a pair of legs belonging to some unfortunate dead person on the side of a residential road. He's looted a small red panda doll from the body, and is looking over his shoulder at a number of zombies emerging from a house across the street to come after him.
A drawing in the rough style of an old medieval manuscript. A figure in a brown robe kneels before a fallen brontosaurus, from which is rupturing a green rhyniognatha - a gigantic insect monster - that has burst out of its rib cage. A golden circle is behind it, with god rays radiating in all directions.
A shot of the Thrumbo from Rimworld slashing and stomping a number of people apart as a guy with a cowboy hat and a plasteel knife sprints into the foreground in an attempt to escape. A small, wooden block-house sits in the background, no doubt on fire slightly out of frame.
An image in the style of He Is Coming's solid colors and stark, black backgrounds. It features the Leshe boss (a giant, starving elk-person wielding a shovel) standing over a spooked version of 'me' who was about to grab a fancy new sword.
An image copying the pose of Al Pacino's character from Scarface, sitting in a desert level in front of a table covered in Megabonk's 'Moldy Cheese' item, a few poison bottles, a genie lamp, a gas mask, and a green glove resting on a toxic waste barrel. The 'chair' from that scene is a large, stone magnet.
An actual screenshot of our main atrium base in Abiotic Factor, with a drawing of my character wielding the Carbon Pickaxe and the Quantum Pick while wearing the High Inquisitor suit. Far in the background, the Leyak is peeking around a corner.
Art inspired by the game Dread Delusion. A figure in a black cloak with a sort of gun-club sits on a rock beneath a tree and looks out over a number of floating islands, lit by a bright pink sun. The vague silhouettes of a massive squid-like creature and a winged snake are visible within the clouds.
Draw-over of a screenshot of a room in REPO, featuring a purple semibot firing a tranq dart at a Headman. There is also a blue bot hiding behind a doorframe, an orange bot charging up a Cart Laser, and a green bot dead on the ground using the DeadTTS mod to shout 'head head head' over and over again.

A sketchy drawing of a tall, lanky bug character next to official sprite art of the character Shakra from Hollow Knight: Silksong. The OC bug is holding a map and wearing a sort of ghillie cloak with a stick poking out of it. A small dragonfly is perched on the end of that stick. Because it's just a default pose, Shakra looks extremely uninterested in the poor guy's map. He worked very hard on it.
The Game Completion screen for the True Ending of Hollow Knight: Silksong. 100% completion with a time of 64 hours, 55 minutes, and 41 seconds.
The 'Game Completion' screen from the end of Silksong, notably lacking a percentage, with a time of 44 hours, 35 minutes, and 35 seconds.
The same squad as the picture from the previous post, except one of the sisters hit the wrong emote and face-planted on the ground while the rest of us keep trying to look cool.
Our squad of little bean-children, including myself (purple), my sisters (pink, green, and red) and my little sister's husband (orange), posing dramatically in front of a mirror.
A potato and corn chowder, alongside some segments of toasted bagel. There is a rad Rimworld mousepad on the desk beneath it.
An image of a hunched, scraggly, impala-horned gator-man in a fur coat that is giving serious babushka energy. One of his eyes is a glassy orb pointing the wrong direction in a scarred socket, and the horn on the same side is snapped off halfway up its length. He's levitating a large tome with one hand and supporting himself with a bowed birch branch with the other. Bottles of strange elixirs and essences hang from the branch and from a coil of rope draped across his shoulders like a bandolier.
An image of a goofy little alligator-man in the style of Double King by Felix Colgrave.
A vampire sits in a massively overdesigned chair with bat wings spreading over a massive room with not much else in it because I'm bad at decorating.
A scrungly alligator-looking lizardman with a cracked horn, furry cloak, and gnarled branch for a staff.
