Passion Projects
Everybody has dreams but to make dreams into reality, we have to transform them into goals.
I have a few, which to many may seem shallow and childish. But right now, I don't really care what others think about my dreams. I just wanna work on them so I can move on to bigger dreams.

1. Graphic Novel
- This is the one dream that I wish to achieve above anything else. I'll be really disappointed with myself if I don't. It ranks higher than finishing education, building a family, or acquiring my own house/lot. Seriously, for me its above all those other things which are considered milestones in life. My dream may sound shallow or impractical but it is my passion. I took landscape architecture and finished it because I thought it'd help me draw backgrounds. My first design plate was Konoha. It sounds silly... I want to finish a graphic novel because I love building worlds and sharing my personal experience. I don't care what other people say anymore. That's the minor part. The real challenge is the actual work I have to put into it... I've been doing it for some time now. The story, in essence is done... but the script is still in the initial stage. I've started writing it but haven't progressed at all since March. Then after that is thumbnailing/ story boarding... then panelling... then clean pencils... then inks... then tones... etc. etc. It's a lot. 2016 is year 3 for 'Saving Code Spyr' and I'm not even halfway this project. But I don't care. I just want to do it. Right now, the biggest thing that's keeping me from progress is my lack of skills and understanding of the medium.

2. Online Art Classes
- I've been self-teaching myself some fundamentals. Its quite tough but I'm happy. I haven't progressed much but I think I understand it better. I just need more avenues to apply it. I have a day job and its been draining all the energy I need to keep a momentum. I'll be off work soon because I'll be back to school so I look forward to more time for studying. I can't wait to get back to my master studies and still lifes. Maybe spend 4 to 6 hours a day on studying. While awaiting resignation, I've been inspired to work on other projects which I can apply the little that I have learned so far.

3. Visual Novel
So about a week ago, me and my programmer friend decided to finally start developing a Visual Novel. She'll be writing/coding and I'll be drawing. Its been fun so far. I've been brushing up with my unused 3d skills and is hoping to improve soon. There's a lot in the software on my machine that I haven't really explored. The past few days has been fun, I'm discovering so many new techniques and updating my skill set. I think I'm getting somewhere. On average, I've been spending about 2 to 4 hours a day modelling in 3d. If I keep this up, maybe I'm unto something.

Here's the agenda for June
1. Finish 3d model of School Campus
2. Finish 3d model Rendering
3. Work on Character Designs
4. Generate Character Sprites
5. Fix Commission Info

So expect more stuff from my Visual Novel project. I think its a lot easier than a graphic novel but have a lot of similarities. Hopefully I apply all the stuff I'm learning from my online classes and get somewhere with my art.

Refilling the Passion Tank
Well that aside, I wanted to place this in.

I've been 're-filling' my passion tank. Doing these projects will definitely burn me out in the long run. Even if I have all the passion in the world, I'm sure it'll run out. I'll make mistakes and I might end up hating it. I'm human, I'm bound to fail to some extent but failure, just like any parts of my life, is only a moment. Easy to say but hard to live up to. I experience that now with my day job. I've been losing interest fast and the things I used to love about it, now just tires me out. My alignment with my job's goals are now way off. Its been like that this whole week because I knew I was leaving work and I feel like I'm unto something new. It bothers me because I used to really really love this job. What if my passion projects fail in the same way when I'm out of that 'passion' gasoline?

I found this ted talk on youtube while contemplating on my lack of motivation.

He has good points. And I can totally relate to the writing stuff down technique. I used to write on a journal before and it has healed me. I don't anymore. Maybe that's something I should get back to (tho not on this journal). Another thing is that I tend to try working on everything at once. He pointed out that we should climb unto our goals, inch by inch because there really is no concept of finish. We just have to keep doing and going. We allot fractions of our time into the work we wish to pursue to build it up. Eventually, we get a hang of it and it becomes effortless.

I just wanted to put this here, as a reminder to myself to keep going for my goals and never lose sight of my dreams. Having a dream is the one ingredient that transforms mere existence into life.
