Had around 6 hours of broken sleep, and scrapped all of my ideas from last night as unworkable in the time I’m going to have this weekend and with my artistic ability, or lack thereof.<\/p>\n

After breakfast (sorry, forgot to photograph it, but it was just some golden syrup porridge and tea) I opened up GIMP and did what I swore I’d not do this time around – started messing around trying to come up with graphical ideas. I regularly waste far too much time doing this rather than coding and am never overly happy with the results anyway, however, today, my procrastinating paid off, and whilst doodling I came up with an idea which has been evolving (see what I did there?) for the past hour or so.<\/p>\n

Whilst there’s a lot more sketching out of design details to do, and plenty more art needed, I’m pretty happy with how this developing. Here’s a bit of a teaser, which really doesn’t give anything away:<\/p>\n

My fiance Kell picked me up some if my favourite snacks earlier, and as you’ll see it’s probably not going to be the healthiest of weekends for me, especially as I’ll be missing the gym, but a high carb diet is essential for this kind of thing:<\/p>\n
