Bit of a different post but
To the new year and things I wanna do!! Yeah! Okay!,👍
Lot of text comin in so beware...
Couple days in already but I needed some time to put my thoughts together and write about them. I've got BIG plans for 2025 that I'm hoping I can execute, and I wanna write this also as a small check-list for myself so I can look back at what I wanted to do, and HOPEFULLY get to everything, but we'll see.
First and foremost, a big thank you to everyone on here for a kickass year in 2024. It was awesome to keep up with friends, meet new people, and watch everyone grow that year with their own little goals and projects. It's thanks to them and those here on newgrounds that I even have goals for myself now (which ill get to writing hang on) and I owe some of it to everyone for getting my motivation going to hit 2025, and hit it hard.
Alright anyway
Meeee :33
Again, I plan for this to be a huge year for me, besides the basic like.. already gonna happen things (fuck college) BUT I'm determined I can get things done this year.
FIRST OFF,
My art. I'm always looking to improve my art, whether it be my style, anatomy, formatting, or finding different ways to put things together, nothin new there; however, ill admit I'm ASS at drawing when it comes to actually getting myself to draw. This year I wanna make it a goal of mine to draw more, find ways to motivate myself and get shit done so I don't have a bunch of projects collecting dust and not posting anything for months.
Secondly,
I wanna experiment more, and actually step out of my comfort zone. I used to do that a lot back in 2023 and like, early 2024. It was like stepping out of my comfort zone just WAS my comfort zone, but I've calmed down a bit. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe that's a bad thing, i guess it just depends how you look at it, but I wanna start stepping WAY out of that zone now. On that, I'm gonna need to teach myself again that it's ok to not be happy with what I make, that nothing I make is gonna be perfect, so I gotta keep trying. I'll never know how somethings gonna end up looking if I never even do it in the first place.
Secondly.5,
I would really, reaallyyy like to get animation down. This is gonna depend on my first off and secondly, since ill need to find the motivation and be comfortable with how things turn out because I'm LEARNING. It'd be so awesome to get some animations done, from my own characters, to maybe fan animations for fun, and maybe even some projects with other people (wink for later)
THIRDLY secondly.. idk this all kinda ties into one thing,
I'd like to try VOICE ACTING... idk what made me wanna do this, cuz ive always felt my voice was kinda boring and weird, but like? It wouldn't hurt to try. I think. I've got some friends already willing to ask me for some lines, but eventually I wanna either make my own things with my voice and expand from there. I think I just need a good mic... and a pc...... ugh
FOURTH.. ly?
PROJECTS AND COLLABS!!!! I would absolutely LOVE to connect with people to join in with art or animating or voice acting (see how this all kinda ties together) I wanna become more well known among the people here and be included in the fun shit going on, so I'm making it a goal of mine to actually put myself out there, stop being so closed off and actually DO something bigger. That's a big one for me, so who knows, maybe you guys will see me in the credits of something somewhere on here one day.
And yeah, those are pretty much my main big goals. I've got some smaller ones but that's just gonna be me working on myself outside of hobbies and the internet. This is long as hell already so I'm not gonna keep talking and will wrap this up now.
Here's to a new year, and everything it has to offer. Thanks for reading and ill see you guys around.
