New Year Updates + Goals For The New Year
9 months ago
Hey guys! I know I’m a week late for new years and all but whatever! The year is still new and I’ve got goals and updates and all that fun stuff!
First off updates! The holidays were a lil rough for my family and I, but we got through! Dad had a bit of a health scare and had to stay in the hospital for about a week, but he got to come home before Christmas! He’s doing a lot better now and is actually taking care of his health again, he kinda stopped after mom passed, and he’s improving little by little each day. Personally, I’m hanging in there, battling a lot of depression and insecurities, but I’m working with my therapist and just trying to stay positive and focus on what I can actually work on at the moment.
This year past year started off great for me art wise and then kinda died halfway through, but that’s ok. Sometimes you just need a break, and that’s something I’ve learned, albeit begrudgingly lol. I recently finished a really big project tho, and I can’t wait to start posting it! It was originally gonna be a Halloween piece of my friends and I’s sonas dressed as star guardians from league of legends. I started this thing back in early September and only just finished it right before Christmas lol, so now it’s a Christmas gift for my friends!
Oh yeah! I was a part of a Christmas art collab with my friend Filly, and a bunch of our friends got together for this, and it came out amazing!!! You guys should check it out!!! You can find that here ---> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59401810/
I think that’s all for updates… Now onto my goals for this year! I got a few things I wanna try to do this year just to have something to work towards. My goals for this year are:
1) I want to at the very least upload once a month, preferably twice a month. I want to upload more consistently and actually draw my characters more. I always make refs, but then hardly use my own characters, and I wanna change that. I’ll still do ref sheets, but that won’t count towards my goal of monthly/ bimonthly uploads.
2) I wanna try and draw more backgrounds in my art. As much as I love my basic gradients, I wanna push myself to draw out of my comfort zone. Maybe aim for like 1 piece with a background per 2-3 months? Depends on how often I upload.
3) Actually get through my backlog of finished art. I COMPLETELY forgot about the rest of my artfight pieces, I got like 20 more to upload… So uh look forward to that? I won’t spam you guys tho, maybe like 1 every couple days until I run out.
4) World building! Believe or not my characters do actually have a world they live in and have lore and stuff! I just gotta like figure it out and hammer out details lol. I don’t know how I’ll show you guys that stuff yet, but I’ll figure it out! Maybe I’ll take asks like in the olden tumblr days! That sounds like fun, I always wanted to do that.
5) I wanna do more journals! I like the idea of keeping you guys updated on stuff in my art and just life in general. I don’t know if you guys care about the life updates, but my therapist keeps wanting me to journal, so I’m gonna count this. Maybe like a journal a month or something.
That’s all I can think of right now, but yeah! That’s me right now. I’m hopeful this new year will be better than last year. It certainly can’t get much worse anyways lmao. Anyways, thank you for reading this. Thank you for being here with me, I do value anyone who decided to follow me and my silly art. I can’t wait to share more art with you all and I hope everyone has a lovely day/ night, and a wonderful new year!
