Last year, I set a few goals for myself:
Main Goals:
Publish 10 Chapters of Erebus
Make a themed Wanzu art every month
Optional Goals:
Get Frontpaged
Reach 333 Fans
Do a themed "Drawing every day for 1 month"
Publish Anastasia chapters
Publish different one-shots
Most Important Goal: Be (mostly) happy and have fun living.
Note: Make an update post at the end of the year.

Verdict: I'm quite the failure. I failed almost every goal I set for myself.
Out of ~70 art projects that I uploaded this year, only one got frontpaged (that isn't made in collaboration with other artists). It's still very nice, and I consider this one a success.
Another goal that I achieved was to publish different one-shots. Comics and Random Art Battles 3 made most of them possible.
Did I accomplish the most important goal? I'm reluctant to say yes, but I wouldn't say no either. I suppose I can say yes. My happiness isn't entirely dependent on how much goals I've accomplished.
Other observations:
I'm quite indecisive. I've posted some blog posts about other stuff that I wanted to do but never accomplished most of them. I thought I could maybe trick myself into getting motivated into accomplishing them by posting about them, but it didn't really work. It just made me feel pathetic and lacking in integrity.
Lessons learned (?)
I suck at setting and accomplishing goals. I should either quit doing them, or get more disciplined (though this very statement is a goal itself).
Plans for next year:
- Focus on doing a lot of perspective drawings, and backgrounds.
- Expand my artistic knowledge.
- Like always, do my best to have fun and enjoy living.
Miscellaneous:
Some art that I really enjoyed making:
I enjoyed making all of my artworks with varying degrees and I learn something new with every artwork I make, but but these ones really made me feel like I've learned a thing or two.
Anyways, that's it for my 2024 summary. Thanks for reading. Looking forward to another fun year!
