Happeh New Yearr!!

Woo it be a new year already eh....well that was one hell of a year. While there were lotsa downs, there were lotsa ups too. So that kinda helped balance things and kept me from going nuts...seriously at times I felt like I was going to go nuts....But still it's a new year and while I did make some progress with my CG/drawing/modeling/lighting/animation skills....I have a LONG long longggg way to go. Aiyahhh...anyhoo so I've made some New Year's resolutions again. Well I'm not one who only believes in making resolutions at the beginning of the year, I mean I tend to make resolutions all throughout the year anyway...but I like setting some specific goals for me to work towards at the beginning of a year...it sort of serves as a guide you could say. Kinda like stepping stones xD

Here be my New Year's Resolutions for this year:

1) Save monehhhh (Super important)
2) Following up on the above resolution, buy a PS Vita 8D
3) Break out of my comfort zones in drawing (i.e draw all kindsa cool awesome stuff...like creatures, robots, backgrounds, cool characters)
4) Paint more finished pieces as opposed to just speedies or quickie tests XD
5) Get better at 3D modeling/rendering/texturing/lighting
6) Practice and get better at my 2D and 3D animation skills
7) Make a 2D and 3D animated short (was supposed to last year...but just didn't get around to it..)
8) Learn JAVA and Action Script
9) Work on my writing and story skills...write a story a week! (damn I had that last year and the years before too..gotta actually start doing it :I )
10) Draw a graphic novel (Yeah been wanting to for ages...thought I'd start it last year but hey atleast now it might look better than it would if I started then XD)
11) Make a demoreel (been wanting to for ages..)
12) Go traveling abroad (if I can save up enough :U)
13) Get better at poses and gestures
14) Play moarr gaaames :D
15) Be a strongwilled, brave and strong, cool kid XD Also a better person in general...And kick all the negative thoughts in the butts!
16) Enter the Expose call for entries!
17) Learn to play me guitar!

Well this year I'd like to actually get a graphic novel and some animated shorts done. Right so starting from now I'll be practicing animation and gesture drawing everyday!! YOSHH!! Also write a story a week...and um practice modeling and stuff on a regular basis...also draw time to get serious hah. Gotta push myself to be the best that I can be.....if I want to fulfill my dreams and prove myself! HYAHHH! Imma do my best!! Thanks a lot to my big bro and all my awesome friends for all their love, encouragement, kindness and support..it keeps this kid going. So yeah...LET'S DO THIS! Also gotta save up and buy that PS Vitaaaa. But more importantly I want to get better at my skills so I can create stuff the way I see them in my mind...yeah. Last year was mostly full of tests and experimentation when it came to drawing and stuff...this year I hope to be able to draw more complete stuff...and also break outta my comfort zone some more. Aaaah got so much to learn xD But I'll do me best! Aye!


And here's something I drew a while back..it's a quickie sketch that I did to test some lighting and rendering stuff....also Iris blur in Photoshop CS6 rocks!! So cool and fun to use xD This I drew in Photoshop CS6 with me intuos4. Got some more stuff in the works...will have to finish em up soon.

Well that's about it for now,Lol I got really hungry and I cooked something that's kinda like monjayaki XD Tastes kinda nice...maybe I'll cook it some more ha ha. My phone's outta charge or else I'd have taken a pikchar.

New year's day was nice, talked with some of my friends via skype call and drew cards for my friends from work and then played COD all day xD I even got a chopper the other day he he...that was really cool. Damn I love that game....ohh must play moar games heh.

But that's about it from me now
I gotta go now..gotta finish my meal heh.
G'night all
