New Year Journal! Updates + Resolutions
8 years ago
General
Hey all, it is already the 2nd of Jan here but its never too late to pop a little update!
1. Commission Updates
First off, my Commissions have slight tweaks;
https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....5O-yCGiv8/edit
Not that much different, but I am interested in improving my 'col-sketch' tiers, and I still feel that sometimes simplicity is the best way to express arts. :> Therefore, I have created a separate tier for purely Col-Sketch commissions. I do hope for your support in that ^^
2. Rareel Updates
I've uploaded my latest refsheet done by the amazing HazakyAracely :> Of course, this does not invalidate older commissions I got. I just feel that this really small tweaks will reflect my fursona better!
Here it is! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25918980
3. Resolutions
I have not kept track of resolutions generally, but this year is going to be a huge milestone for me personally so I want to actually 'log' it somewhere. I have no qualms about sharing my resolutions so, why not right here in FA? :>
Therefore, for 2018, my resolutions are~
* Reciprocate: I noticed that I tend to deviate away from this a lot, by giving too much to those who I do not have to, or by not returning favors of those I received. Unfortunately, I am a very 'transactional' person and these tend to bog me down despite my emotions telling me not everything has to be transactional... Therefore, this year, I am going to focus on giving more to those who extend support to me. I will not go into specifics for this, but it is something I really need to constantly remind myself to do!
*Expression: I am always very open about my ignorance about many things, but it seems doing so has me treated like an oblivious person. I am just someone that prefers to admit not knowing instead of keeping silent and pretending to be thoughtful. However, as I clearly see myself transitioning from a student to a 'working adult', this is something I am going to actually work on and change. Seeming oblivious does hurt my performance at work I would predict.
* Health: I have done great milestones in 2017 looking back, and I intend to push forward! I'd say dropping another 15~20KG this year would be my aim ;3
* Finances: I will be (hopefully) graduating this April. As such, I will want to get myself a job soon. This is so Asian of me but, hey - it's something...
* Furry Life: I will want to be more involved in the furry community, especially in my local group. I think I am reaching a point where I have to admit this identity of mine is rather important and not something I would wish to pretend does not exist.
* Personal Arts and Mini-Project: I have two mini-projects I wish to do this year. One is a comic that I have the ideas for, and the other is a 'montage' I plan to make. I am going to ensure both of these come into fruition.
Most importantly I want to ensure that I remain being a 'good' person. :> If anything of these end up conflicting my ultimate goal of being a good person, I might have to do some adjustments...
For now, this is my focus!
Thank you if anyone actually read this whole chunk >W<
May your 2018 be more fruitful than 2017.
