I'm not up at this hour (5:39am) because I have a deadline, I simply cannot justify going to sleep when I am feeling at my most productive. Also I'm thinking that by putting off sleep until after tomorrow's (today's) lectures I might be able to kick my body clock back into a normal rythm.

In the mean time I am going to continue toying with ideas for my final year project. At the moment I am still amazed at just how often I go back to previously 'finished' areas of the design document and rework it completely. At this rate I can probably expect to be adding the finishing touches on the wrong side of my 40's. Still, I would rather keep chipping away at the damned thing now than arrive at the deadline and realise how ridiculous it sounds.

My problem at the moment is expressing my ideas visually. After spending so long rendering the terraformed Mars concept I now feel like the rest of the concept art deserves the same amount of attention - meaning I spend long enough to get the bare bones of an image down before finding myself moving on to something else out of boredom. I really don't have the patience to sit down and finish off any of my work and so I either end up rushing it or dropping it completely until a later date.

I'm going to have to change that. Looking back through my older work I can tell they look rushed and incomplete and although some of them might have the potential to develope into great images I find myself think 'Aw whatever, that'll do', which I hate.

The last thing I want for this project is for it to be as half-assed as the majority of my work up to this point - lets just hope that I don't get too distracted by other things and lose track of my objectives.
