Coffee - A students best friend

So today i actually managed to get up at a reasonable hour! was up quite late last night playing music on my ipod dock (i finally got round to putting music on my ipod lol) and played through 2 epic bands discographies till the early hours of the morning (i was considerate and turned it down at around 1 or 2...) but yeah work wise - while listening to music, i was reading through my book that im going to use for my character and scene sketches, and i think iv came up with a good composition for the scene im going to do

Its a scene from the beginning of the book where the 2 main characters make their escape from a fortress where the lead female is being held as a slave. They have a "glimmer-spell" on them so that the guards cant see them as they scale the walls, however the alarm is raised when shes found missing and the guards are all out searching at sunset (so colours are going to be contrasting draks shades and warm yellows, oranges and reds.

Character-wise im still about 50-50 between the 2 main characters as they contract quite a bit, if im feeling ambitious i may just do them both (surely theres nothing wrong with doing EXTRA...?). Still, time is always the deciding factor in these things for me.

So other than those, im still reading through the book, gonna do a few more ketches and notes for other possible scenes then move onto the characters. All other work is still where it was the last time, im hoping that i can finish reading the book sometime tomorrow, which would place me at a good point to finish writing my essay on friday night, and animation on the weekend.If that was the case id actually be ahead of schedule! My oh my!

oh and just so that the title actually has some relevance, heres some photos i took that seemed quite interesting
