Always do thumbnails

So i uploaded each save I made for a few of my more recent pieces.  I can not emphasize enough how much I learned about the importance of thumbnails.  For the first two I didn't use any thumbnails and You can see that I wasted a lot of time playing around with elements and composition.  

For the space painting, the final result looks just like the result and I produced that one waaaay faster than the other.  It was way less stressful also, seeing as I could focus on the painting aspect alone.
