So, inspired by 2o6's Aviva sketchdump, I thought I'd post a few old sketches, just to have something to contribute, haha. They're pretty bad; I guess it's no wonder I never got around to finishing any of them. A lot of my drawings are packed; these are from a small stack I found in my desk drawer and some are older than others. Here's a concept for the Megera Spyder that I never got around to rendering. I kinda liked this one.

Thanks AXIS! No problem, although we did have the "Sketchbook thread," though that doesn't see much activity anymore. Quote:
Thanks knihc! You wouldn't believe how self-conscious I am about posting my unfinished or rejected sketches. Again, I think it speaks to how over time I've come to value finished renders at the expense of the process; I actually think that my line quality and shading abilities have actually deteriorated since I've started relying on Photoshop. You'll notice that none of these are really shaded; all intended to eventually be rendered. All that said, having taken a second look at some of these, there are a couple I don't really think are beyond saving. Anyone have any thoughts as to which of these could be worth finishing?
Yeah, far more Quimeras have never gotten past the idea stage than have made it onto paper. I still maintain a Word document with a "wish list" of sorts describing the projects I'd eventually want to create for Quimera--both new models and variants of existing models. I'm sure most of them will never come to fruition, but hopefully I'll be able to tackle a few. In light of my increased time commitments, I may revert to debuting models as sketches instead of renders; I love the finality of a colored render, but it's just too much of a time sink for me these days.

They're all fantastic, but the Megera really caught my eye __________________
