What is your resolution for 2011?
Mine is to stop being lazy when it comes to working on my portfolio. And to start eating healthier.
EDIT: I just realized I spelled resolutions wrong, if an admin wants to change that. If not, just leave it so I can wallow in shame.
Replies
I don't normally do resolutions but if anything then it is to get my first job in the games industry and improve my entire environment art process. I've yet to truly sculpt and need to work on texturing.
But other than that, its to stop being such a bloody miser... I've been single a year and a half now and even though I get asked out every so often I still whinge on about being single. So its time to change that.
Oh and the usual, drop the weight, hit the gym etc, which I'll do for a week and then remember just how fucking awesome pizza is...
Same here
Happy New Year, everyone!!!
Learn some basic coding.
look into iPhone dev.
Get rich. Just like that nah but save some cash. That's what I gotta do.
-I plan on doing more personal work (I feel as though I've really let that slip and should produce more polished pieces rather than just pooping out quickies)
-I want to restock my personal bar, mix / create more cocktails and drink more. (I gave up a lot of my collection when moving to the states and am only now starting to rebuild...bigger, stronger, better.) It's a hobby that has been put on the back burner since my move.
-I should be more active, my lazy lifestlye has gotten even more lazy lately.
Happy new year!
- fix eating/sleeping habits
- paint with real paint, instead of photoshop.
2. Getting a new job.
3. Buying a new computer, furniture
4. Developing a portfolio website.
5. Trying get more healthy overall, fixing sleep patterns and eating properly.
Not much less obvious:
- Level up painting and modeling skills for more speed and awesomeness
- Level up scripting skills in pursue of my perfect modeling workflow
... Though that's really more of an all-time thing and not too related to new years.
And I've always wanted to see some of Japan. I've been wanting to for years. Maybe it's about time I make it happen? Seeing how many of you get to be there in the Tokyo thread made me greentoothgreen with envy :poly134:
i can help you with that.
call me
2. Work on becoming healthier.
3. Use redone portfolio to get a job making awesome.
That's the res my main monitor runs at (2nd monitor runs at 1280x1024). Haven't run into any programs its too low for yet?
how hard is that ... -_- ... for me is hard ...
but hey, i just realized that the more i plan something the more i feel unfinished ..
2. Clean up my freaking house.
3. Finish porting Flixel to Mono/OpenTK
I'm going to leave it at that for the moment. If I get too ambitious I'll start to lose focus. (as always seems to happen) I have my first iOS game mapped out pretty well, so I just need to roll up my sleeves and get to it. The cleaning of my domicile is also already underway, and as long as I stick with it I am confident of success. I'm kind of waiting on some updates to the OpenTK library for completing my port of Flixel, but I am confident that I can cross that one off my list inside of 2011.
2. log at least 500 miles for the year (running & cycling)
3. allow more time for my own art
4.inject more positive into the universe
I feel your pain. It's also a priority for me as well.

My new years resolutions:
-become better really soon so I can go on a snowboarding holiday today! (I have a pretty annoying case of laryngitis at the moment).

-draw frequently.
-succeed at my study, with an average mark of around 7. (out of 10).
on a totally unrelated note, does anyone remember that website that shows certain images for a set amount of time so you can draw it?
