No worries. Yeah dude I will never ever start rendering without being at least 80% certain my comp is heading in the right direction. You want to allow for happy accidents of course, but getting attached to something because of how much you've rendered it is so easy to do and rarely produces good results in my experience. Had to learn that the hard way of course. :) And yeah the first idea isn't always the best for sure. For illos I would do between 4 and 8 thumbs to make sure I've iterated out all the cliches, and hope something good comes out
