InkTober: Week 2 - the fun continues

I've been participating in Jake Parker's InkTober challenge (31 drawings in ink for 31 days). This is where I confess - not all my illustrations are entirely in ink. I digitally drew some of the components to simulate ink, but not all is what it appears to be.
 
Coming from a business background, I know that time, quality and resources are always main considerations when trying to deliver a product. In this case, the product is an illustration a day. So I asked myself, what is going to suffer in order to "meet deadline"? 

Was I to post low quality illustrations that would make people scratch their heads and exclaim loudly "WTF - my two-year old could draw better"? Was I to go sleepless in order to have the time to produce masterpiece illustrations? Or was I to utilize resources other than what was stipulated in the InkTober rules and regulations (a bending of rules, or a compromise of sorts)? 

Well, I opted for a bit of all three. None of my illustrations are what I would call "finished". They are what I classify as idea sketches. I limited myself to spending 15-30 minutes sketching, and 15-30 minutes digitally rendering each illustration. I also allowed myself about 30 minutes daily for warm up sketches. Sadly, all of those warm-ups got "filed under G" (funny how I always trip over that danged garbage can). However, here are a few of my decent sketches:
