Ever wonder what makes a good project here on PMC? Ever want to just get it seen to the point of your satisfaction? Or how about have you ever felt the need to achieve better things?

Well, I can assure you one thing right now and that's that it won't be easy. Making a good project is no easy feat, nor is it supposed to be a challenge. It only is a challenge when you doubt yourself. When you doubt yourself, others well too. But let's get into some of the points I'd like to get into, shall we?

Getting Started:
Well, first thing's first. Getting started on a new project can be one of the hardest things about a project. If you want it to be a good project, you have to take the time to plan it out to the point that you feel comfortable enough with starting it at. Take my last project for example, my Forestreium Tower project is, in all honesty, my only project in which I have ever truly sat down and planned out the look of it. Now given, not many of you can do what I've done in the past with my Crater Castle and my Sangrose Mountain Castle and expect to wing it and expect a good enough out come. But even when you do plan something out, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to make the popular reel either.

Planning for a project instead of just diving right into it is always the best option for you to take up, even if it doesn't land you on the popular reel and even if it takes up a lot more time. Making the popular reel is the least of your concerns. Getting other's to like it as much as you is the real challenge.

What the public thinks:
It shouldn't matter what the public thinks about your projects. At least not to you, it shouldn't. What I mean by this is that there is a bit of advice I've always have heard myself, but mainly in my art classes. This bit of advice goes something like this:

strive

Applying your skills:
Applying your skills to something that you're not comfortable with doing is the best way to improve your skills. It's best to branch out and try some new way of doing something for a change instead of always doing the same thing over and over again. By doing so, you're also helping yourself further down the road. So don't be afraid of making mistakes either. With every mistake you make, you can learn from that and apply it to later projects, including the project that you made the mistake on. Just because you feel like you can't do something, doesn't mean you can't. Just because you can't see the big picture, doesn't mean you can't see the solution. But most importantly, just because you can't see yourself on the popular reel, doesn't mean you won't make it.
