So, here is my resolutions for 2019

1.) Draw more: I keep falling off the truck with this one. Work has not been very forgiving for the past year and a half with management constant flux along with my work schedule and responsibilities. Add disgruntle co-workers shirking off responsibilities and I been exhausted. Though It's not the first time I have been in a bad spot with my art so it should not be an excuse. In fact, I need to turn it into motivation:

2.) Start taking Commissions: I've haven't taken many commission online as I have been burnt out all lately and that is not healthy for someone who is aspiring to be a professional. I have taken a few commission from friends but it's for a project that hasn't been completed yet so I haven't posted the art or taken payment yet. As I start drawing more and back into my comfort zone with my art, I'll start advertising commission spots for all those who are interested.

3.) Make a Webcomic: I been thinking of doing this for awhile but never pulled the trigger because I cannot think of one good story for a continues story nor do I have enough jokes for a gag a week thing. While I'm far from the best writer, I'll be posting something just because I have watched so many webcomic artist skill explode online just because it keeps them in constant practice. I have a couple of original ideas but I may make a throw away fan comic first just to hone skills.

4.) Become financially better off: This is going to be a tough one, more than a new years thing really but allot of the things that have been holding me back have been that I have never fully recovered from my losses during recession. Don't get me wrong, I'm in a far better place than where I was in the pass living check to check but I still need to find a better place to live and St. Louis is horrible to get around without wheels of your own. I even considered a scooter more than once but the weather is so erratic, I'll would still be riding the bus regardless. With advancement in my job questionable, I need to look at my art as a possible second source of income (resolution number 2 ) which leads to...

5.) Game less: I've become a little bit of an addict to MWO, I have enjoyed playing the game and it's been a good way for me to unwind but I need to start using that time for something more productive (resolution number 1 )

6.) Hang with my friends: Remember that I said I did some commission work for a friend? Well, I haven't seen him all year! No, he's not ducking (In fact, I owe that dude allot myself. Just a good friend) but work and other real world responsibilities keep us on very different schedules. Got to make time for my friends, as I mentioned above, it's the only thing that makes this world bearable. I'll also try to tune in more to my fellow artist live streams as it's the closes many of us will get to hang, living in different cities. I'll also start asking about Discord possibilities.

With that, Happy New Years guys!
