This year was a lot less "oh, so that's what you're supposed to do" and more "yeah, I did that bit wrong" and "I should try something else next time". I have a pretty good idea what I'm shooting for now. It's mostly execution that needs work.

Future projects:
Current- Revisit my rat, design and build new "Moon Dog" character
Future- Cheetah

In the middle - Physical conditioning, schedule reasonable amounts of time for projects. Time management has been a problem since forever and my present physique is imposing limits on what I can do.

Techniques to experiment on: Body padding, different eye styles, eventually airbrushing
