New Year Resolutions

[monotone_ink]

Happy New Year everyone :^)

Post some of your comic/art/writing related resolutions riiiight here!

My Resolution: Fill at least one sketchbook every month.

All hail kumamoto! XD

New Year's Resolutions

• Keep at it and keep Grassblades going on schedule to the best of my ability.

• Do another advent calendar comic next year like Wishlight (I like making them, and people seemed to appreciate it!)

• Practise my art skills. Anatomy, perspective, architecture, etc., etc.

• Learn something new. Like animating, or maybe making simple games.

• Stop using sleep-deprivation as a coping mechanism for stress. Less sleep does NOT equal more work done. It equals more stress, more anxiety and sadness.

There are other things - like print-editions of Grassblades for cons in 2016, doing more traditional work, etc., - but those are the big ones.

Setting up resolutions = setting up to fail OvQ
jkjkjk
i'll be happy if i manage to not drop the webcomic i finally started.
bonus if this gets me in the flow to start developing my other stories♥

Hope all y'all resolutions won't just become resolutions for 2017 hahahahaha //hit

[WarkDatch]

My new year resolution is simple

• Lessen the procrastination
• And actually do stuff without procrastinating for too long

[gateofselidor]

I just want to get my comic up to two pages per week again. If I can manage that, I might even finish it before the end of 2016.

Happy New Year! (It's not midnight here yet but I imagine I'll be out when it is).

Resolutions:

• Make more time for myself. Play more games, read more. It's easy to get bogged down with work/family/obligations/comic and forget to take time off.

• Get into a good three-page-per-update pattern with the comic. I really want to be more regular 8'(

• Eat better, drink more water.

• Explore making West into a pixelated game. I have a friend who really wants to do this but I keep brushing him off because I can't even keep up with the comic itself! I really love making pixel art though and the plot would lend itself really well to a game format.

• Go to a comic convention! Not with my own comic, to see others and meet other creators.

• Get over my ex. Lame, I know. I pulled the trigger on seven years of happiness because I knew that unless I did, he would never get the help he needed. Broke my own heart, lost the family and future I had planned, and still coming to terms with the terrifying prospect of being single. I hope this year that I start to see it all as a new adventure. That would be really nice.

Well... at the moment I'll try to make it to April without dying from overwork.
If I'm still alive, I'll think what to do from then on.

[zoonland]

My New Year resolution is to finish the first story arc of Zoonland (I already did two, I started working on third), print it on paper and carry it to at least one of comic-cons here in Italy to get reviews and opinions (hopefully encouraging ones ) .
I hope to be more active on internet and be more efficient on self-promoting my comic book, especially on foreign communities, so I can meet new people and, maybe, somebody willing to team up with me (especially for writing and coloring).
Then I want to improve greatly my writing and my art. Probably adding brush inking to my skills.
Last but not least... improve my english!

In the meantime... happy new year to everybody!

My goal for the next year is to start working on this graphic novel idea I've been sitting on.
Also to market myself more/hopefully get more illustration work.

[colinwmd]

My main resolution is to start posting my big story I've been excited about for too long and do all the promotion/website improvement/patreon bits that surround that. Should be an exciting year!

[colinwmd]

Oh yeah, I want to make it to a convention this year too. As a reader type person. I had planned to go to the York one this year but it clashed with something so I didn't in the end (although in retrospect wish I had!) I might go to that big Leeds one this year to see how they work

[MarineHaddock]

1. Get my new series started
2. Keep up Blood Type: AB
3. Get back to studying German
4. Seduce hot old men.

Haha..

[60Six]

Honestly, I haven't actually MADE any yet, so this topic is as good excuse as any to sit down and make some goals.

Sooo, I suppose:
-Keep up with 2 pages a week
-Finally settle on a schedule (I STILL haven't figured out which day is best for me to upload on)
-Get a Patreon up and running and meet the goals on it
-Conquer my fear of Twitter (personal stuff....) and start getting my comic up on other social media.
-Make more/new friends. I'm terrible about reaching out to people and I need more Tapastic buddies!
-Go to other peoples' live streams more
-Start asserting myself at my job more and trying to take more of a lead
-So that I can get promoted and stay at this job ahaha
-Do some more "concepty" type art to show the right people at work.
-Nag boss to get Photoshop on my computer so I can do the above : |

[efdvorsky]

I usually try to set goals as often as possible but okay here we go

-Improve in art
-Print out short comics and tiny merchandise for my first cons
-Be more active in social media and talk to other artists without anxiety getting the better of me
-Get a Patreon??
-Get over my fear and APPLY TO THE GRAD SCHOOL OF MY DREAMS. /)ò-ó(\
-Animate more
-Keep updating Cosmic Fish and Gone Fishing as often as possible.
-Start going to the gym again to reach my goal of squishing a watermelon with my thighs.
-Renew my driver's license... -cough-
-Learn to co-exist with my depression a little better and be nicer to myself.
-Move out of the island and get a job.
-Be more assertive when I get commissions and ask for money upfront because damn I keep falling for the same mistake. /)-_-

Great Resolutions, everyone!

Mine:
1) Write at least 3 more radio plays this year
2) Write and draw a short comic (10-20 pages)
3) PRINT A LEGEND (of some sort) AND SELL AT LEAST ONE COPY

(I finished colors on the last page yesterday - now begins the long road of prepping for a small print run- anyone know printers who specialize in 100-500 copy runs?)
