Description For anyone that's interested here is a little animation showing some of my steps when painting up this piece  

I hope this works

Let me know what y'all think.  Are the frames too fast?  Want to see more?  What illustrations??

Cheers!

it's awesome that you can form something so specacular from something so basic. I'm jealous.

Thank you. I kinda knew what I was looking for after I read the brief & took the time to think things over. It's always best to keep things simple in the beginning, particularly with thumbnail doodles. The opening image is basically a triangular shape dude surrounded by other basic shapes. The thumbnail was roughly 1"x1" & then resized in photoshop.

So is it easier to make a messy sketch and run with it rather than trying to perfect it the first time?

I only ran with this thumbnail sketch after the other 9 didn't work for me.  Don't start with being perfect.  Look for ideas and explore your options instead.
