    With 2017 right around the corner, I've been reflecting on my past year and thinking of some new goals! For me, I graduated from college (and I'll probably never even fathom grad school LOL) and finished a new episode of my Maple series after 3 years of waiting! I learned that it's time for me to step into the "real world", but I still love animating with Maple sprites with a passion -- my goal is to get an easy-going, first job related to film/video production and animate in my free time. Since I will be in a new environment, I need to be resolved to stay open-minded, willing to learn, and positive! I'm also hoping that 2017 will be the year I can get the ball rolling on this comic series I've been wanting to start for the past three years. xD I also really wanna learn how to fluently speak Korean, Japanese, and Chinese (Korean first though, so I can speak with my relatives xD).

    What are some of your guys' resolutions? Animating, life, etc. ^_^

    As for me, I feel like I want to take my animating passion to the next level in some way. Not necessarily moving away from MS animating, persay, but learn some other form of animating media. Project Exodus has been a great start for me in that kind of sense, and I'd love to develop further in that area somehow.

    Another resolution would be, similar to my first point, use my animating passion to a much higher potential, and even in a beneficial manner. I haven't really gotten to use it in ways that could help me in life, but also like my first point, I've already experienced a taste of what I'm aiming for, thanks to a commission I took Ryonari up on. I aim to go beyond that, and work for more prestigious purposes, like Team Redux (AnimationRewind), or even DB (though that might sound like an unrealistic far-fetched thought, this post in general is nothing more than me thinking out loud). But who knows? It may or may not happen, depending on my luck, but who am I to not hope and dream?

    And on top of that, my third resolution would be to finally take a plane and see @Kaffeine for the first time <3

    Sekka's "Rad" New Years Resolutions!

    (1) Join the Sprite Team.
    (2) Write at least twelve news team articles.
    (3) Finish my new spritesheet
    (4) Win an animation MBR.
    (5) Become "Rad".

    I'll add more as I think of them! It would be cool if we all kinda keep track of these and check them off as they get completed.

    I always try to improve, so I've never really bothered with new years resolutions. But I should work on being less sensitive (especially in this community) and take things less seriously. I also definitely want to animate more and improve my animations. I want to get to know more people and make more friends (as always, honestly, what else is new). And I want to do better in school! (Again, what else is new?)
    Thing is, these don't have a deadline or something like that, so call them resolutions if you want. They're not specific to the new year, lol.

    Please do. :C

    1. College next year (first year) . Looking forward actually :)

    2. I'll be animating more non-maple stuff for Redux / AnimationRewind. Of course! Will still animate maple for Omen! Probably more skits.

    3. Going to finish up purchasing my gaming computer parts and start building!

    4. Continuing doing part-time jobs during weekend (every week once I start going to college)

    5. Looking forward to learn more about life and stuff. Pretty much something about being independant.

    My new years resolution:
    Not getting my balls busted and having to go to surgery and use all of my money that I had saved up on that so that I am broke for the entirety of summer.

    (2016 was pretty shitty for me).
