Goals for 2017

So, here is the post about my goals for the year and how I did last year! I feel like I was quite lazy, so my hopes and expectations for 2017 are high XD Looking back at last year's goals, I didn't do so good with them either...

Posts for previous years:
Goals for 2016
Goals for 2015

Goals achieved in 2016:
Take a group photo of my complete Azone crew
Make a custom DD Saber

Only 2 out of 7... And even these two were just partly achieved XD I took the Azone group photo back in May and there have been many additions since then, so it's already quite outdated, lol. And my custom DD Saber project is still a work in-progress - she only has the head with faceup, eyes and wig.

Also, I actually managed to achieve an older goal from the 2015 list as me and Sarg finally found the perfect sofa for our 60cm+ dolls! XD

Goals not achieved in 2016:
Take a group photo of my complete BJD crew
Take more photos of my figures
Make more cosplays for Ceci
Do not buy more BJDs (besides Undine)
Visit Azone International and Volks stores in Japan

5 out of 7. I'm not surprised that I didn't take a group photo of my BJDs, since that would require so much work and I honestly have no idea where I could even fit everyone neatly X'D I also didn't take that many photos of my figures... I did have a few cosplay plans for Ceci, but didn't actually make any new cosplays for her.

Our Japan trip didn't happen in 2016, so obviously visiting Azone and Volks stores wasn't possible either. Hopefully we get to make our trip in 2018, when I'll (hopefully) graduate from my current school :3

These are my goals for this year:

Take a group photo of my complete BJD crew

New try this year, I guess? :'D The biggest challenge is having the time and energy for posing everybody in one place, as well as figuring out what would be a good place for the photo.

Take an updated group photo of my Azone crew

I'm also hoping to take an updated group photo of my Azone dolls, including the ones that have arrived after May 2016 when I took the previous group photo. Posing smaller dolls is not as time-consuming as posing the big BJDs, so I'm feeling quite confident that I'll be get at least this group photo crossed off my goal list.

Make a mermaid tail for Undine

As a mermaid, Undine definitely needs a pretty mermaid tail that I can use for some photoshoots! I've been looking for suitable materials and hopefully I can get the tail done before summer, since that'd be the only chance for taking outdoor photos this year >.<

Work on the custom DD Saber project

I would need to start working on clothes next and I'm hoping to make at least one of her outfits this year. Still haven't decided for sure, but it'll probably be either the blue or red dress... Though I do love the white Lily version as well ;w; So hard to decide which one to make first, lol. It'll also depend on the availability of the materials.

Sew Medeia's Queen outfit

Medeia's background story has changed quite a bit, from an ordinary shapeshifter to Solamnia's Queen disguised as an ordinary country girl :D I've sketched an outfit that I want to make for Medeia, it is going to be another long project. I already have a few photo ideas that would require this outfit, so I really need to get it done!

Make short BJD photo stories

I used to make some photo stories years ago (back when I mainly had MSD and yo-SD sized dolls) and it's something that I've missed doing. I'm hoping to start making some photo stories again, at least short ones :3
