I started sort of aimlessly producing artwork for the sake of it midway through term, and got stuck in a rut again. I did a lot of iterative work on my characters, and even had a crash course in creating environment thumbnails by my friend Matt Thomas (who is superb at environmental art):

As you can see towards the end, I was getting quite systematic. It's really difficult to keep something going when it's forced, and these iterations just didn't feel fun or loose, like the aesthetic that I strive to achieve in my work. Maybe i as hoping I could bombard the assessment board with quantity over quality? :S Anyway... it doesn't last! Trust me.

Here are my environment thumbnails:
