New year´s resolutions & goals 2026 edition

[Lensing]

What are your art, writing goals for 2026?
Do you plan to change your habits, schedule?
Are there long term goals for the year?

What else? The occasional gym membership?
Changing your diet? Social media detox?

My 3 main art goals will be:

-record my solo album as a singer

-finish the first issue of my sex comedy comic

-new daily drawing training routine (too long and crazy to write down)

[Rai_Muffin]

Spent the last year and a half redoing my older chapters. So that's still my goal of this year.
So close and yet it always feels like I have so far to go.

• Finish redoing first arc.
• Finish second arc.
• Take books to stores in my home town.
• Start doing drawing streams.
• Get into reading and promoting other peoples work.

If I finish all that this year, I hope to take a break and work on a one shot graphic novel about the mental stress of working retail.
Fun!

Outside of art, organise more get togethers with my friends.
Trying to get a bunch of adults to commit to a get together is like herding cats (only reason i don't do more Dnd)

[Lensing]

That all sounds like great plans. Especially the graphic novel, that would be something
I´m interested in reading. I love authentic stories like that.

I didn´t understand the DnD part

to put out more animations for my Youtube channel,

[Lensing]

Great, what is the name of your channel?

[rasteranime]

Stock market cartoons

i love 2D animation... i started posting some simple stuff in 2020 doing frame by frame animation but is taking long time completing the videos... above gif...which i posted is a video i am working on now...

[Lensing]

I like the 1950s looking style and subscribed

I’d like to get back into the groove. 2025 has kicked my ass thoroughly. Two very sick and dying parents, a brother who passed sway in May after fighting addiction for years, the death of my cat, a sudden and permanent partial vision loss, a change of ownership at my place of employment… it’s been rough, and has put me off writing and drawing. Hopefully 2026 will see me getting back on track, though with the sick parents it’s gonna be tough

[Lensing]

I´m very sorry to hear that and I hope that 2026 and the future will be better for you.

[Rai_Muffin]

I didn´t understand the DnD part

Well, if it's a challenge to organise a simple movie night, you can imagine how hard it is to get multiple people to commit to a multiple session campaign.

For more people to notice my story.

I hope to publish at least 12 episodes of the RAW comic.

Also, I hope my visual style can become a bit more abstract. When I'm drawing the comic currently, I'm still too concerned with the realism of characters and scenes. I hope the visuals in my comic can become a bit more wild.

[Shanny8]

For me, my goals for 2026:

1) Stay alive- !
2) Get back to work on my webcomic- it's time.
3) Try to figure things out- I really want to monetize my art/my webcomic; I'm tired of languishing...
4) Try to make a schedule that balances comic making time & standalone art pieces time

Yeah there's other stuffs like start fixing/upgrading my home, get certain things on my car maintained- but if I'm not where I want to be with my art, those things become that much harder...

[Lensing]

I got it now, I just didn´t understand the sentence
Yeah that can be tough

[Rai_Muffin]

The struggle is real...

[Lensing]

concerned with the realism of characters and scenes. I hope the visuals in my comic can become a bit more wild.

that happened to me with the exeggerated, funny cartoon style comics.
I was too concerned with getting things "right" and lost some of the wildness.
A very experienced artist and tattoo artist told me something years ago when
I started to relearn the "fundamentals". She said: learn the rules, but forget
all the rules when you draw. I didn´t have a clue what she meant, but now
I know.

This last year I've started publishing my novel. This coming year I want to continue writing a minimum of 15 minutes per day.
A specific thing I want to get better at is cliffhangers.
Maybe I would like to tell people that I know about my writing. At the moment my husband and kids know, as well as my younger siblings. I guess I am still kind of scared of getting judged.

[Lensing]

A good cliffhanger would be:
"I guess I am still kind of scared of..."

jk, sounds like good plans, good luck with that
