Creative Goals For 2026 (Games, Web, Etc.)

Greetings! Welcome to my kind of late foray into 2026. 2025 was not the most productive year in terms of quantity for me but it was still a time during which I produced quite a few good pieces. 

There's a lot that I wasn't done with and there's also loads I want to do in the future. So here's my list of creative goals for the year 2026. There's stuff for illustration, game design, web design, and some miscellaneous blog stuff too.

Illustration

1. The One Ultimate Comic 

Every year I tell myself I'll finally start on a comic and every year I can't pick one, get stuck in the script re-writes for months and so on. Literally nothing may change this year but I'm still going to damn well try. 

2. Finish the 2026 COTY Calendar 

Even though I only finished 6 months of the calendar in 2025, I was actually happy with how it turned out and I can see myself finishing up the last 6 months some time in March. 

3. Fairyary

Casual Fairyary this year with a focus on textured-painting and loose rendering in Krita. Last year was a lot of thick and distinct line art, which I like, but it has led me to neglect painting for nearly a whole year now.

4. Mermay

No concrete plans yet but I'll do something. 

5. Artfight

Freeing up all of July to take Artfight seriously this year. I want to make some really nice pieces for friends and mutuals. 

6. Inktober

No concrete plans either, I may skip out and I may participate, we'll see if any prompt lists catch my eye. 

Game Design

7. Blender basics

I haven't done anything in Blender since university but my recent interest in 2000s CG and game dev has really been marinating. Plus my brother is like a Blender veteran so I have an in-house tutor. Neat! And if he doesn't like that, shouldn't have been born after me, runt! I kid.

8. Nanoreno 

I really wanted to partake last year but I just ran out of time: I've been sitting on a lot of visual novel ideas so I think I can make a small demo in the month of March. 

Website

9. Javascript basics (again...) 

For the 1000th time... I'll be learning the JS basics. 

10. Store all assets locally

I already started but I'll continue to move all my site assets to be hosted locally on my site on Neocities instead of Tumblr. It was such a bad idea originally but I was afraid I'd have no space. 

11. Notebook Library

I'm going to continue making my notebook database and eventually building the microsite dedicated to my notebooks.  

12. Quiz Ring 

Not sure when but I'll re-design and launch my Quiz Ring, webring for quiz lovers. 

13. Icon-o-matic 

If I ever learn any type of image management-related scripts I'd love to have a database for the icons I've been hoarding for who knows how long. Wish me luck. 

14. Total CDwORLD update

CDwORLD is in need of an update, specifically the members' list and the CDs. It's taking a while which I do feel guilty for, but it will be done. 

15. Total fanlisting collective update 

The fanlisting microsite is also suffering but luckily it's almost repaired completely. Soon I'll have it updated. 

Blogging

16. A-Z blogging on finnymemo

It will still be fashion related this year but I don't wanna reveal too much too soon! Stay posted. 

17. Blaugust '26 

Same here, I've got the idea, I'll start to pre-write but stay tuned for August. 

18. Wrimo for Solo-RPG 

I've been thinking to do a little blogging about my campaign in Ironsworn on this blog as there's a lot of writing and art involved, it could be fun. 

And those are my main goals for the year in the world of creativity! Let's see how it actually turns out.
