Traditional New Years' Resolutions don't work. I tried Art Goal Bingo for the first time in 2025 as an alternative to nebulous, vague, wishy-washy goals that I'll completely forget about by March, and it was a huge success! I got 3 Bingos last year, completed way more than I would have otherwise, and had a lot more fun doing it.
We're going again this year, and this time I roped my friends along ♥

If you want to join, you're welcome to use my template! I included a high res PNG since I made the template in Photoshop and Clip Studio doesn't seem to get along with some of the effects I used.

2026
Goals
01
Sell an adoptable
I used to do these a lot more often but haven't for a while. I also have a bunch of unsold ones lying around that could use new homes.
03
Launch 3 art packs
This one is my housemate's idea. It's not sustainable for me to keep relying solely on commissions for income, so hopefully these will help.
​
​
05
Redesign an OC or adoptable
There are a lot of old designs I've done that I think I could do a lot better now. Whether my own character or an adoptable, it'll be a fun exercise!
07
Draw one thing you've never drawn before
Always good to broaden your horizons!​
09
Do 2 hours of personal art a week for 1 month
Because I've been so reliant on commissions, my personal work has been pretty heavily neglected. My OCs miss me :(
​
11
Do a master study
Part of my trouble with art the past few years is feeling like I'm stagnating. I need to start learning from others instead of trying to brute force it on my own.
13
Finish one traditional piece
I used to be an exclusively traditional artist, and frankly I just really miss it.​​
​
​
15
Make 3 new print/merch designs
Since moving across the country, I haven't been able to get back into the con scene, and now all my inventory is outdated.
17
Finish 3 fully rendered pieces
I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of digital painting, so I want to keep putting those skills to the test.
19
Finish a seasonal piece 1+ week
before deadline
I've always struggled with time blindness, so holidays and monthly challenges usually sneak up on me and don't leave a lot of time to do art for them.
21
Finish 2 OC pieces
I actually do draw my OCs pretty frequently. The problem is they very seldom make it out of the sketchbook.
23
Finish a piece with a full background
Ahh, the bane of character artists everywhere. They say it can smell fear....
02
Finish one leftover piece
Like every other artist, I have dozens of unfinished WIPs gathering dust. Let's fix that this year.
04
Finish a paleo art piece
I've rediscovered my paleontology special interest and want to do some proper paleo art. Might get published under a different name, though.
06
Finish an art trade
I've have had a couple people asking me to do one for years now, but I haven't wanted to take on more while I have an unfinished one waiting. Fixing that too.
​
08
Finish a calendar piece
I've always wanted to do a calendar, and it's a free excuse to do a bunch of portfolio-worthy pieces.
10
Finish one sponsored piece
Sponsorships are something I want to lean into harder this year. The process needs some tweaking, but I want to have something to show for it by the end of the year.
12
Finish a fanart piece
I have a very complicated relationship with fanart, but I'm working hard to repair it. I need to learn that it's not lesser than any of my other art.
14
Stretch Break every Day for 1 week
As I get older, my body is reminding me more frequently and less subtly that I do, in fact, require breaks.
16
Enter 1 zine or anthology
project
These are really good at forcing me to meet deadlines, so I try to use them to finish pieces I want to do anyway.
​
18
Do anatomy studies
I notice occasionally that I've fallen back into bad habits and take shortcuts. Gotta address that before it gets any worse.​
20
Spend 1 week on nothing but personal art
No such thing as too many excuses to stop neglecting my personal work ♥

6 subscribe-star posts
Because it's so infrequent, I have a habit of uh...forgetting to post to SubscribeStar at all...
​
24
Do an 18+ comic
I've got a couple comics under my belt now. I think I'm ready to complicate it by adding more really weird sex positions.
