I had a conversation today with one of my best friends growing up and as we were talking about my new found venture, we came to the same conclusion that I need to step out of pre-made designs and make my own. I had that thought in my head for a while, but the complication was how to get the exposure I needed just doing my own work. In other words, you see my costumes, and they all (save for one) relate to World of Warcraft or Diablo. This is all well and good, but the reason I took this route of creating pre-existing costumes, was for the recognition; it was my way of saying to the world "Look what I can do with this!" and then show what else I was capable of designing. In a way, my current path is part of a loosely laid, yet so far effective plan.
So what's next? Well, it's in the works. I'm beginning a careful process of getting the essentials taken care of so I can fully pursue my dream without any hitches. It's not going to be easy and I don't expect it to happen over night. But I'm not going to give up. When something doesn't work out, I have to adapt and change my game plan.
I've started drawing again and I'm digging up my old sketch books.. believe it or not I used to have entire sketch books filled with fashion designs.. I'm going to tap into any and all inspirations and I'm going to make this happen. This is what I'm passionate about. This is what I loose sleep over (in a good way).
I will make this happen.
