I'm in! Hope the rust wears off soon enough.
Pasting this from previous years because
I'm that lazy tradition. (And I haven't changed that much.)
My order is: Do whatever you want.
However, if you're anything like me, you don't know what you want. So here are some really unimportant and random things you can use as guidelines.
I like:
- Nature. (Including but not limited to the entire Universe.)
- Organisms. (Any, really. From fennecs to
Dictyostelium discoideums to potatoes. Dragons also count. Humans are usually pretty boring, though.)
- Dystopias.
- Low saturation.
- Smoooth animations. (Who doesn't?)
- Experimenting with concepts, styles, etc.
- "Meaningful" art (i.e. the picture is linked to some deeper idea), things that make you think and/or want to kill yourself. (Like philosophy in general.)
- Experimentation and originality; being surprised.
- Knowing you enjoyed doing it
I don't like/care much about:
- Artificial landscapes.
- Fanaticism in general. (Religion, money, cars, sports, women, etc.)
- Mainstream stuff in general ("nerd culture", "gamer", "otaku", memes, movies, etc.)
- Most of the things common sense dictates as disgusting or repulsive. (Except spiders et al. They're super cool.)
- Some pixel art styles: isometric, "modern", extremely old. (All of them with some exceptions.)
- Christmas. (Is that too hypocritical?)
Again, these are pretty unimportant and random, so don't stick yourself too much to them if you don't feel like it. Just challenge yourself (or not) and have fun!
