Preliminary sketches.Tried to think of extra ideas. 1 am now (aren't I a hard worker?) Gonna get some sleep, power through work tomorrow (with the aid of too much coffee and possibly a Pespi power shot energy drink or whatever they're called, but I'll try to resist the urge cause my wife will get on my case about it, but how would she ever know..., but there's probably 5 cups of sugar in it anyway and my belly, so I'll just drink too much coffee and a swirly), get home and cracking on a final illustration woohoo!
