My New Years Resolutions

A little late to be making this post I guess, but whatever.

In 2009 I want to:
1: Learn flash and start submitting to the portal
2: Get better at drawing and learn to ink and color properly and cleanly
3: Sell commissions of my art
4: Get to know Logic like the back of my hand
5: Make songs of the following genres:
.....a: any combination of
..........I Ambient trance
..........II Progressive trance
..........III Uplifting trance
.....b: Downtempo (been dying to try this)
.....c: Ambient (I want to make epic soundscapes!!!)
.....d: Big beat (I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S BEEN DEAD FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS... if you don't know what this is it's breakbeats like drum n bass but signifigantly slower and MASSIVELY superior, uses a lot of sampling/splicing/glitching, acid sounds, faptastic goodness, used in chase scenes in action movies tl;dr listen to the chemical brothers and the crystal method, their OLD stuff plz kthxbai)
.....e : some kind of house or some variation
.....f: Drum n bass MAYBE... (I'VE EPIC FAILED EVERY TIME I'VE TRIED)
6: Possibly compile an EP of some sort
7: Get a job that doesn't suck and save up as much as I can
8: Meet more people and make new friends
9: Find someone special :3

Tres awesome list.
LEARN FLASH! DO IT NOW!
I looked at your Deviantart page and I loikez it!
I wanna see a flash by you. I am basically demanding it!
aha Keep us updated. I'll be waiting. :)

I might not have time to put much effort into flash until this summer :( I have it but I've been really intimidated by it lol. But I'm more of a drawing person, my animation skills are lacking, it's hard to get a smooth flow to it and give it emotion.

I took an animation class and did 3 hand drawn animations, though they're just crappy exercises and only total 16 seconds so I'm rather reluctant to submit them to Newgrounds >> Also I would want to make a menu with buttons for them, and make them loop. Have no idea how to do anything in flash lol. i suppose I should pick up a book on it or something.

I'll make a post if I upload any flash.

Is #2 even possible?! Your art is awesome!! Happy New Year :D

Aww Thanks :3 Though I feel I'm still very much an amature, true I have gained a few fancy techniques but my basic knowledge about stuff like anatomy still needs a ton of work. You can judge how good an artist really is by their sketches and mine are kind of mediocre XD

Well technically they're all electronica so not really that varied... Right now it's tied between my 3 techno and 3 trance tracks. Anyway how will I ever know if I'm featured? Isn't it totally random? :P

And thanks :)

looks like your time is all used up! by 2010 you'll be a completely new and improved person.

gregaaron89 2009-01-17 19:17:21

I'm being really ambitious, most of this might happen but probably not before 2010 :P I don't really have a time goal but as long as I'm improving at things...
