General
2016
I realize the general consensus that 2016 was a terrible year, but for me it was a somewhat confusing if not anti-climatic year. The reason why I say that is because by all accounts it should have been an amazing year. I traveled to the United States to see somebody very important to me, there were major releases in movies, books, games, etc that I were looking forward to and just a relatively good year at work. I guess the reason being is that the majority of all the good things that happened were only temporary escapes from daily life. I cant complain with the expectation of the daily grind, but I acknowledge that things were lacking in a lot of aspects. Also the past year was spent sitting and waiting for my trip to the US. Now my trip to the US to visit somebody I care deeply about was amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. However the problem was that it was essentially the only thing in the year that I was really looking forward to. After it was over - there was an overall sense of "Now what?"
2017
Going into the new year I have a generally mixed set of ideas of what I can do to improve my daily life and other aspects. Essentially I will be casting a wide net and see how much of it catches on. To be a bit more brave and be more open. To sate my wanderlust Im thinking of taking more local trips instead of waiting for years just for one international trip. That being said I will be budgeting another trip to the US in 2018, but make it less of a endgame scenario.
I also have to look at long term goals. Do I want to stay with my current job? Finally get involved with the family business? Move to the US?
I kinda have to start finding answers to those questions before it becomes too late for me to do anything about it.
RONSO International Site
Going forward with the site; Im thinking of sticking to the current plan of doing the usual monthly updates with occasional exclusives. Reason being mostly because my interests are going elsewhere, our currency is still bombing and artists are generally getting more expensive too. Personally I would rather now spend the money to commission art of my or of a friend's character than to spend the money on a random FF monster that I have no personal connection to. That being said I still have a ton of ideas for exclusive artwork that I wont be able to get out of my head until it's on paper.
Anyway - wishing you all a prosperous 2017 and hopefully all our new year resolutions will come true! :)

Personally, I think you could alternate by your mood: comission FF monsters when you feel like them, but I don't think anybody has the right to call you anything if you'd rather comission your own characters (or your friend's).
