Dec 2012 - Digital drawing/painting
Jan 2013 - High poly modeling in Modo
Feb 2013 - ZBrush sculpting (not sure WHAT exactly, probably heads)
Mar 2013 - Back to digital painting
April 2013 - Maybe create an environment from concept to completion
Not sure after that, but it might just cycle like that all year. I made really good progress on my painting skills in Dec of this year so I think this will pay off.
For me its all about starting to get DJ gigs in some local bars here in montreal. Get a little extra income and have a blast while doing it.
Also want to go from my usual 175-180 lbs to try to hit 190-200, which means working out 4-5 times a week instead of the usual 1-3.
Stop being lazy around the house when i get home and immideatley start a mix or find new tunes.
Save a shit ton of money by not eating out for every meal, cook at home for once haha.
Happy new years fellas
but seriously; I aim to get better at managing my time. Less time shall be wasted on the internet, and more should be put down into art. In addition, I totally need to get in better shape- start going for jogs, and lift weights.
1, 2 and 3 are mostly well done. However, my mental health took a decline lately. So, my 2013 resolutions are:
1. Get rid of the physical and mental health problems for good. Nothing major but they really ruin my day sometimes.
2. Improve in art and technical stuff.
3. Save most of the money I earn and travel a lot in summer.
4. Become somewhat better at music.
I wish all kinds of good stuff for polycounters!
Mess about with Arduino and other tech gadgets
Learn better software engineering practices
O and make some art. Gotta balance!
