Since Go allows for so many variations: pair go, blind go, etc. I decided to propose my own variation
As the topic subject already gave it off, it's Picture Go.
The main objective of Picture Go (or Drawing Go, or Pixel Go, I haven't really decided on the name) is not to conquer territory, but rather to draw a picture.
At the beginning of the game, each player sketches what he/her wants to accomplish and post it hidden:
By the end of the game, each stone that matches your original drawing is worth 10pts. every other stone you played that is not a part of your original drawing counts as -1, which also includes prisoners. Your opponent's stones do not count for or against you.
The formal rules of Go apply, one cannot commit suicide, you only live with two eyes, etc. The game ends after three passes or resignation (which is probably useless, because you cannot count your opponent's score).
There is no problem of two players having the same idea to begin with, because each one will need to fight in order to conquer the desired "pixels".
I believe it could make some fun games.
And I have NOOO idea whatsoever of how the outcome of one of such games would be, that's why I didn't post a sketch
Well, hope you guys liked the idea and looking forward to play one of those
