Yeah, it's the dragon from the old Atari 2600 game Adventure. :p
I was bored, so played around with a polyomino solver I found, and this is the result.
At first I was intending to fill it with only tetrominoes, but then I found that this particular sprite has a total area of 87. >_<
I didn't feel right using only one tromino and the rest all tetrominoes, so I used 3 copies of a collection that totals 29:
I
T
O
J or L (in this case, all three were J's)
S or Z (here, all Z's)
I3
I2
L3
and Dot.
...which is pretty much Lockjaw's 10-piece bag plus the dot. :p
The original program only displays yellow blocks with red outlines; I did the recoloring manually to make it easier to see the "3 of each" rule.
Download and instructions (http://www.xs4all.nl/~gp/PolyominoSolver/downloadsolver.htm) for the polyomino solver.
The file (http://www.filespace.org/4matsy/polyomino_adventuredragon.htm) I made to create the dragon. (Right-click, save as. Drop it into the directory you unzipped the solver into.)
So, uh, yeah. SPRITES FROM TETROMINOES AND SUCH GO GO GO
