Perhaps not quite as noteworthy as many of the offerings posted here, but I am very proud of the stories I’ve written that won the SDMB short fiction contests:
And one that did not win, but I still rather like:
Reading them again, I can see a few places where they could be improved. But nonetheless, I’m rather proud of them.
Very nice. I like the two women in the background who are stifling laughter as the father tries to get off the train.
I’ve made quite a lot of creative works, so it’s hard to narrow it down as they each have strengths and weaknesses. But I did make some 3D models and animation I am very proud of. Unfortunately I don’t have copies of them to link to as they were of licensed characters (legally, I might add, as we had a contract with them), but I managed to precisely emulate those existing properties accurately and bring them into 3D.
The last song I posted in an electronic music forum got a pretty positive reaction: City of the Dead
It’s a dark, electronic thing.
My most popular (and probably favourite, for this and other reasons) work is Drink Can Tinwork.
And, in fact, that was the original crop for a couple years. It was only much later that I went to the wider crop to include that goofy groomsman.
(And it is those little details that make this photo so fun to me, especially the gasping woman in the background. There’s just such a nice gallery of expressions.)

It is still being used 7 years later.
I did an experimental short story published in my college literary journal, 5 chapters told from 5 viewpoints, 2 female. Previously i had been told that my female voice was very masculine and unnatural, but in this story i recieved some praise from female classmates.
After reading this thread, none of them! tears up poem and bursts into tears
Seriously, though, great thread idea and good work, y’all. I’ve really enjoyed seeing it.
Some of the pencil sketches I did many years ago are framed and hanging in the house now. Friends and relatives were stunned to see them as I had no formal training. I’m proud of them because they really are pretty damn good.

Back in the 1980s I worked for Indiana Vocational Technical College. The college decided to change its name to Ivy Tech State College to sound more approachable, and had a logo design contest. My design won. It’s been in use ever since, and it’s bit something of a ego-boo to see my graphic design on TV, in sculptures (in front of the colleges), etc. It appears some other vocational schools have based their logos on Ivy Tech’s, so that’s a boost as well.
What a terrific design! Very, very clever!
The vampire princess. It’s not her official name, but both of those are in her list of keywords… she’s a “bad guy” in a MUD, and I gave her a description which boils down to “total sex bomb; please people roll against boobies… now roll against thighs… now ok all those who passed the rolls attack, the rest are busy”.
I did not give a single physical detail, the idea is that since this is a description and not a picture, I wanted to let every player project his own desires upon the description.
The day several players who’d been arguing over her physical attributes and who couldn’t go check them (she would have kicked their colective ass beyond the Oort Belt) called me to referee the dispute was just… sublime. I had, indeed, achieved my objective 
Each of them had projected his own tastes upon a description which simply did not say anything about what she looked like - other than, well, “damn this chick is HOT!” (but better, mind you)
A couple of months ago, I knitted a stuffed elephant without a pattern and it came out super-adorable. So cute I’m seriously considering writing up the pattern to publish on Ravelry. I’ve never successfully made a stuffed animal before, I’ve never made my own knitting pattern before, and I’ve only been knitting for a year this month, so overall I’m quite pleased with myself.
My book of poetry, pseudophakia. There are some excerpts at the link.
I’ve written better things since I’ve put the collection together, but I haven’t gotten off my ass and put a second collection together.
Wow, lots of talent here! I was going to comment on each one that impressed me and found I’d clicked nearly every post.
Mine: An album of acoustic music I recorded a decade ago, What Was I Thinking?

Why? I guess because it sucks less than anything else I’d recorded previously. I can’t pick a favorite – I’d pick different ones at different times.
I’m thinking of starting a new one, jazzy blues centered on piano (my main instrument).
I have a collection of about fifty or sixty poems I wrote which I think is really good. I have no knowledge, and no idea how to gain knowledge, concerning whether anyone else would agree. But I think it’s great! The poems don’t all have the same voice, they’re not boring literary poetry, they’re not self-indulgent confessional poetry, they play a little bit with form and stuff without being style over substance, each one surprises the reader a little bit and invites a reread without just being a puzzle to solve (I think I hope!) and just, in general, I actually think it’s good stuff, worth reading. And I don’t have any idea what to do with it.
If a collection doesn’t count as a single work, then of the poems in it I’d pick the last one, titled “Twelve Passages of Doubtful Authenticity with Enigmatic Commentary.” I’d call it (with difficulty) a favorite because it is thought provoking, combines influences without calling them out but with them remaining recognizeable in an interesting way that invites reflection, shows careful attention (I think I hope!) to maintaining a certain kind of voice that is definitely not my own voice, and even might have more than merely intellectual impact on a reader (which is not something I generally strive for but if it happens I can’t complain!).
