I have solved my sketching crisis! XD
Well its not really a crisis per se, its more that I figured out a way to get more sketches in without needing to be at my desk. Something that feels more natural and can get ideas out without the need of electricity. I'll just sketch stuff with pen & paper! Granted, scanning them from the sketchbook and making sure they are not in a blinding paper white background will take some time, but I think its a great way to sketch ideas on the fly or just iron out stuff from the back burner.
Now, I know this may sound obvious, but in my defense, I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed.
That being said, here are some sketches redoing some old designs. Thinking of bringing the chest unit for more "practical" applications. Hehe
