To explain the lack of rendering and color...  I rarely take concepts past a simple drawing, because of how anxious I get to bring them to life by modeling them in 3d, incorporating them into a painting, or simply moving onto the next idea.  There should be enough here though, to give you an idea as to how my mind works. Also...  Despite the labeling of their purposes, I always like to think that most of my concepts can fit into more than one idea, and ALL fit into the patenaude universe.
