100 Treasure Chest Challenge

Ok, done. This was really fun, for the first like 30 or so. By the end I was sick of chests and now I'm kinda glad it's over, so I don't know, 100 might just be too many, but cool challenge other than that! :D
Non of these are done from a single reference, including real life objects, like a garbage can and a fridge. By the end, I stated doing some purely from imagination, but majority was inspired by little mood boards of things completely unrelated to chests. Things like vehicles, guns, buildings or just a vague sense of some setting. Each detailed one was first doodled loosely in a sketchbook, where I did variations and experiments. Honestly, that is where most of my best work from this challenge end up xD.
Also, I assume you'll see that, but I can confirm - half way through, I did switch to drawing free hand. It helped me focus more on the design than perfect perspective and precise measurements. I still used my whole arm and ghosted most of the lines, but not gonna lie, it was not my priority at this point.
