1. Exercise more (at least half an hour, twice a week) and eat healthy. This includes dance more and install a timer on my computer which makes me get up and walk around every twenty minutes.
2. Get a job. I don't think I can handle conventions and freelancing any more, and I really want to be somewhere I can learn, trial-by-fire.
2.5. Get a boyfriend. However! Importantly! This is contingent on Resolution 2 being satisfied first. I will not look for a relationship until I've settled where I'm going to be post-graduation.
3. Spend one full day a week working on digital art, alternating 2D and 3D. This includes entering ConceptArt Character of the Weeks, CGHub Drawing Jams, etc. Contests are a good motivator for me.
4. Get published, get a Daily Deviation, get on DeviantART front page. So, like all artists, I'm a sucker for attention. I think it's a good reward, though for working hard. I'll have to do all the networking that goes with it, but yeah. ImagineFX, Exotique, Expose, etc. If it's small, it's still okay. I need to set this goal to make myself work more on art.
5. Read a book a month. I feel myself getting stupider for not reading. Got any recommendations? I really love things that are intelligent (no stupid protagonists, please!)and mythical.
6. Finish one of my life goals. It could be one of the following:
- Rivek, 2D and 3D Character Design(face and full body character design illustrations, face and full body sculptures, textured and rigged 3D model, accessory and clothing drawings, beauty illustrations)
- 100 Themes, Sketchbook
- ???, One-Shot Pencil-Shaded Comic
- Otakon Trail, Macromedia Flash Game
- Prince Project, Fairy tale Gender-reversal Illustrated Novel
- Companion Guide to Mondigan, Artbook
- Guide to Mondigan Mythos, Illustrated Novel
- Trilogy of Mondigan, Novels
- Alternate Universe Artwork to Mondigan, Artbook
- List of Ideas I Had In High School and Never Completed, Paintings

...You make me look like an absolute under-achiever.
re 1: i am all for the dancing more :D (ps i want to learn swing so badly...)
re 2.5: very good call on the contingency.
re all... these are good.
also, i miss you. <3
Good luck making Otakon Trail a Macromedia Flash game. You should probably put "make a time machine" before that on the list. ;)
Seriously, this looks like a great list. If you'd like some help coming up with a story for a comic, I could help you out. And I'm with Allie: stop making us look like under-achievers!
