Man 2017 was brutal for the US, wasn't it.
Since there's too many bad stuff that's gone through the year i'm gonna spend the next 15 minutes trying to list the good stuff that did happen last year.
1) I have a regular paying job. I currently work at Soapbox Films and they do marketing for animated feature films and they have dogs around the office. Win Win. Biggest claim to fame is that I got to design a huge glass stain graphic and the title graphic card for the Muppets Take the (Hollywood) Bowl sometime early fall of last year. Commute's pretty long but it has helped me immensely in one particular aspect.
2) Paid off some debt
This one isn't so much as a feat as just an acknowledgement and appreciation to my family helping me out, I'm not so much debt free as I am no longer hemorrhaging with the interest buildups. I'm not drowning anymore but im still treading water, so there's reall
3) Met
NightMargin as she was doing a Los Angeles con <3
4) My laptop which sustained me over 5 years with freelance and help, finally conked out from a faulty motherboard. Fortunately it happened at a time I wasn't desperately in need of it (like freelance or during my summer classes), and I'm back to an actual desktop setup again. Feels pretty weird losing the mobility, like I'm actually settling roots now to where I live. And speaking of random roots, I own a baby succulent plant that didn't horribly die like the last three did in '16 and has in fact thrived.
5) Travel wise I've only gone as far as Palms Springs and Las Vegas, the former as a company vacation thing and the latter as a 3 day family getaway. Highlight was giving our pa two treats: letting him ride a ferrari driving at 100+ mph and then flying on a tiny helicopter with him and my brother.
I put a seriously low bar last year for myself, not so much on a lot of improvement just on finally being able to 'start' Necromancer.
So what's in store for this year?
Necromancer-wise:
I've completed a few pages but I don't want to start uploading them until I've made a buffer set so things can upload on a consistent basis. I also need to start looking into a place /to/ upload them to so any suggestions of where you all read your comics would be appreciated.
Storyboards:
Now that I have a computer back, I have to churn out a new portfolio so expect some more sequential artworks down the year.
That's all I've got in mind, I'm trying not to think too hard on what I'm supposed to do and getting bogged down by too many goals.
Hope you all have a grand new year.
