Goal List

Thu Jan 1, 2009, 2:58 PM
  • Mood: Eager
  • Listening to: The sound of voice actors yelling beautifully.
For 2009, I'll be keeping a record of my planned goals and accomplishments.

I remember hearing from someone that in order to succeed in life, you need to have long-term meaningful goals for yourself and a clearly-outlined plan about how to meet those goals.

I hate detailed plans and outlines for things as malleable as a human life, but I'll manage with this setup.

And what better way to do it than to do it in such a melodramatic, public manner? There's nothing sweeter - nothing tastier than savoring this kind of thrill. Normal life's boring, and presenting things in a 'typical' or 'average' way just makes things even more dull and mundane. Thus, this is the only way to go about it!

GOAL I:
Submit my work into Clark's "Phoenix" art magazine, and succeed by having the submitted work printed within. Potentially, I could submit multiple works, depending on what I do.
Status?: SUCCESS - Both of the comic pages I sugmitted got into the magazine.

GOAL: II:
Re-establish an online portfolio of my work in a place more respectable than deviantArt, establish a venue for displaying my comics online.
Status?: (Due to be accomplished prior to the middle of February)


PERPETUAL GOAL I:
Draw in my sketchbooks every day - in one, expand on observational drawing, and in the other, expand on personal stylistic interpretations of knowledge and ideas gained from observational work: Taking from reality and transforming with the imagination into an ideal form.

PERPETUAL GOAL II:
Experiment with different media at every possible opportunity. Pens, paints, charcoal, pencils... mixing and matching various media for the sake of personal experimentation. Apply media outside of the conventional methods.

PERPETUAL GOAL III:
Every opportunity to showcase my works to the public will be taken advantage of to the fullest extent. However, in order to ensure that I have material to showcase, it will be necessary to constantly practice and produce with different media, as established in the prior goal.



GOAL X:
Achieve a noticable level of renown and respect in either real life or on the internet scene for my works, and carry it into the future with me in a steady ascent. The best outcome in this scenario is sizable success on both playing fields.
Status?: (Will be personally determined on 12/31/2009)


364 DAYS LEFT - I'M DIVING IN!
-Updated 2/04/2009: Edited first two goals to correct for deadline changes.
