Sorry it's a few days late but better late than never I guess. I have already made my journal about 2014 and now here's one with my resolutions for 2015 and I"m gonna do it in the same format I did last year:
~Things I plan to do in my personal life~
~Things I plan to do in my art~
Well guys I guess those are my resolutions. I may not accomplish them all but I hope to at least do most of them and I am guessing 2015 will be awesome regardless!
~Things I plan to do in my personal life~
- Land myself a nice decent-paying job with an excellent boss and co-workers. Even if it's not art-related, anything that helps me out will do. If not a new job, maybe get some sort of upgrade at the current job I'm working on...
- Save up and buy a car. I am still without a car of my own but I am saving up. I put $50ish in the bank every weekend I am able to and hopefully I can save up enough money to pitch in with my parents to buy a used car so I am able to get to places like conventions or a job.
- Spend more time with family. I said this last year but I have a new brother now and I want to be able to visit my sister and her husband plus they are having a baby boy in a month and I want to be able to hang out with him plenty too. Our family is apart a lot now cuz my bro and sis have both moved out and I will hopefully find a place to live in by myself someday so I want to be able to make the most of the time I have left with them...
- Develop better sleeping habits. I've actually improved over the past few months but I do tend to stay up too late or sleep in too late and I need to fix that or I could have health issues down the road. Also somewhat related: get exercise when I can and keep myself healthy.
- Clean and reorganize my room. I just bought a new 5-part shelf that I have used to put in some of my Legos on display and now I feel I really need to clean my room where I have all my art supplies and 'working desk' and stuff. It's gonna be tough but I have done it before so I can do it again!
- Collect the rest of the MLP Funko figures (an numerous other toys) if my budget permits it...
- Try to figure out if I shoud be dating or not. It's not on my top priority list but I have kinda wondered lately if I should have a girlfriend or not. I'll make a journal about it sometime explaining more.
~Things I plan to do in my art~
- Utilize Adobe Illustrator more for my art. Thankfully I've been doing this a lot lately and I want to see if I can master that program more to create higher-quality art and build up a good portfolio to use for interviews someday.
- Start using Photoshop a lot more and get a better pen and tablet that can help me with this.
- Get to contribute some art to "My Little Sweetheart" or some other collaborative pony fanart project.
- Get better at drawing the human body. I luckily have in the past year, but I know I can do better and I strive to!
- Learn how to do some simple animations in Adobe Flash. I guess the better thing to say is "find some time to start dabbling in Flash and not let other stuff get in the way!"
- Make more sculptures and improve with it and become as good as someone like VIIStar or something.
- Draw more butts!
~Things I plan to do in the brony fandom~
- Get accepted at a con to sell some art and make some dough.
- Attend said cons and be able to hang out and connect with my friends and hopefully be able to see some friends I haven't met IRL yet like , , and so on...
- Purchase a better mic to do voice acting with.
- Using a mic and some good editing software, start doing some 'analysis' type videos using my ponysona vectors.
- Work more on "Age of the Alicorns: Chaos Rising" and above all: START THE ASK ACCORD TUMBLR BLOG!!!!!
Well guys I guess those are my resolutions. I may not accomplish them all but I hope to at least do most of them and I am guessing 2015 will be awesome regardless!
New part-time job!
I interviewed yesterday and was hired right away! I'm going to be doing some packing, sorting and delivering for a local newspaper company that an old friend of mine from school owns. Only definite work days will be Thursdays and possibly earlier in the week. I won't get a whole lot of hours out of it so I'm still looking for another part time job or perhaps a full one if the benefits and rates are good. My current commission list has 10 slots full, but I'm going to still let my page say I'm opened in case anyone else wants to get a slot later. Those commissions obviously have yet to be started, but thank you to everyone who sent a message and I'll get the WIP sketches done for you soon.

Why I'm jobless and how you can help
I should've been forthcoming about this much sooner, but honestly I didn't know what to say as I figured things would've turned up by now. Well they haven't and I might as well tell you guys the truth. As the title admits, yes, I do not have a job and it's been that way for the past 6 weeks. Before we talk about that, let's go back to November of last year. Some of you might have seen when I made this status update: https://www.deviantart.com/aleximusprime/status-update/Sorry-if-I-scared-you-995107195 Well that got me to leave my job for one month because I was able to go back on December 19th when that asshole left for shoulder surgery. I returned to work and things were fine for the next 2 months, but then it got worse when he returned in late February. To understand this situation, I have to explain the manager. He has been a lifelong friend of my dad's and our family has good relations with his family, but his biggest weakness is he's too nice. He runs a decent business
Nightwatch's Flaws
Before we get started, just letting you all know, I have chapter 6 of Ester Dracos in progress, but there's a song in it which I'm composing, and as per the usual, it is taking a while to finish. After some difficulty, I have managed to come up with a tune now. It sounds good, I'm just getting to a more challenging section and it might complicate things. I actually have the first chapter of "Ghost of Grogar" complete (proofreading still needed), but I will wait on that one before it is uploaded. There are no songs in that story, so I should be able to get through it quicker, but I do want to at least get the cover art done as well as a picture of the "Harmony Clubhouse" tree, so please be patient. Trust me, it will be worth the wait. ***Spoilers ahead for those that have yet to read My Little Sister is a Dragon: Ester Dracos Arc*** In the most recent chapter of Ester Dracos, we learn that Nordo Dracos, the land Buttercream might have come from is governed by King Rubble, a dragon
