New Years Resolutions
polycounter lvl 11
So you have less than a week to think about it, whats it going to be?
Also has anyone ever successfully done one before?
Mine is to stop sitting on my butt so much and be more active before my body falls apart. I want to start some sort of class I can get into, like yoga or something. Maybe lose some weight but mostly just get active and healthy.
Also make better art
but that's the same every year.

This year... 1 vacation every month.
First Stop this January.. Peru
To finish a character in the next month or so and keep consistently working on 3d stuff because I've been slacking for a few weeks. To find a job to help get me monies and pay loans until I can score an industry job. To go back and re-work my older model's lighting and presentation then update/re-work my portfolio.
It doesn't matter how long you have doing 3d , you have to keep on striving to get better
Oh and find a decent girl, I'm not getting any younger.
Don't we all wish we could spend all our time sitting and working on art all day, yet still be in shape and look fabulous. Unfortunately that's not the way it works, which is exactly why I have to stick to my resolution, and get out from behind this screen sometimes!
