Happy 2024! Let's just pretend I didn't abandon blogging for half a year lol. I blogged in my mind, so, yknow, the intention was there haha 🤣 As per tradition, it is time for the [2023 New Year Revolution Review]
[FAILED] 1. Keep my goals accountable through monthly blog posts.
Haha let's not talk about this.
 [FAILED] 2. Draw at least 1 illustration a month.
At the very last minute I managed to squeeze in one more illustration ... for a total of 3 illustrations in 2023 haha. I hope I'll be able to work harder to create pretty art for my comic in 2024.
 [FAILED] 3. Complete 1 chapter of my webcomic a month.
I took a step away from my comic in 2023, because it was impacting my mental health and my relationship with art. I hope that by returning to it this year, I'll be more immune to the negativity that comes with being an online artist ;;
 [FAILED] 4. Work on merchandise prototypes.
Does my planner count? haha
 [FAILED] 5. Create an animation project.
I think I'll work on this goal when I've achieved my other goals first!
[FAILED] 6. Schedule my social media posts a month in advance.
I went MIA on social media for 2023, and I think that was a lot better for my mental health! When you realise there is so much more to life than the online space, suddenly, everything that happens online just seems so insignificant.
 [PASSED] 7. Improve interpersonal skills.
 [PASSED] 8. Achieve grade goals for my return to study this year.
[???]Â 9. Aim for a healthier lifestyle with regular stretches.
 [FAILED] 10. Refine and create a 2024 planner by late November.
2023 Revolution Score: 2/10 ... have I ever achieved such a low score before?!
2024 New Years Revolution
Draw 12 original illustrations

Although I didn't progress a lot on my digital art goals in 2023, I flourished in other areas such as returning to my traditional art roots, and improving my mental health and personal life. In 2024, with this renewed psyche, I hope to bring back the focus to my digital art pursuits! Let's see how I go this year!
