Photos of 096 are incinerated when testing is complete.

Just wanted to mention that.

Well... if that is true I would fully change my opinion. But would you point me in what part of the article that is said, please? The only similar thing I am able to find is that every visual record of 096 is to be destroyed if you don't have O5 or dr[redacted] approval.

SCP-096-1 mumbles an expletive and spends the next twenty minutes drawing a sketch of the photograph. At the time of completion, SCP-096 is confirmed to be ███ km away from SCP-096-1.

SCP-096-1: I’m done.

Dr. Dan: Good. Place the drawing in the receptacle on your left and close the door.

SCP-096-1 complies and the sketch leaves Bathysphere 303-A in a watertight buoyancy container. The other photographs are then incinerated in the onboard incinerator.

They were incinerated here anyway, they might store photos when an experiment is on site.

Oh... I always thougth that they burned that photo on board because the posibilities of it flotainig to some coast and causing a contaiment breach. I see your point.

We can have a sketch of him somewhere then!

So will someone actually draw a picture of 096 or will one of the concept drawings be used?

I've actually drawn one not a long time ago, I didn't notice that anyone is talking about adding the sketch of 096 from the "Document #096-1" so I never posted it.

Here it is anyway, I intentionally made it quickly and roughly (about 5 minutes).I know that on the foundation it says 12, but meh. :P

looks good to me nice work for only a quick sketch

Wow, that looks very nice and faithful to the model (can't expect less from the creator P:).

I think it could make a very good picture for its document, if it gets added (which is very likely).

But that would defeat the purpose. They wanted a photo because it would be a cognitohazard, but nobody leaves cognitohazards laying around, ESPECIALLY not for 096. It's effect doesn't work for artistic renderings, however, so a sketch would be safe, and could be left laying around, but nothing would come of it and it would be pointless. The only thing that makes less sense than leaving a picture of 096 around is leaving anything about 370 lying about.

EDIT: I've suggested 1128 before, if you wanted some sort of cognitohazard that wouldn't automatically kill you. It could, actually, be used for escape if you could outswim it somehow.
