Now that I have my new laptop, I will be able to really get started on everything involved in this class.
Today, I decided on my last two novels:

I know that yesterday I had said that I wanted to do something with dragons, but.... I changed my mind. I'll go with the well known, but not often illustrated gryphon. I've only read a portion of this book but I see this as a chance to put a lot of action into a work. I'd also get to work on textures thanks to the feathers.

I've picked the epic space opera The Dreaming Void to be my space piece. Of course, I could also take it towards a fantasy theme because of some parts of the story. I'd like to incorporate them both if I can. People with psyhic powers and spaceships and aliens and black holes and... you get the picture.
Tomorrow will be spent doing roughs. I'd like to have at least 5 roughs per novel to show to the teacher on our first meeting Thursday. Good luck to me.
