I love doing original characters because it lets me be as creative as I wish with the designs. I suppose that's the artist in me. HOWEVER, with creative freedom comes the constant anxiety that you could've designed something better than you originally had. Man, am I finding myself anxietied (because that's a word now, I declare it) over this Moltres-Jedi mashup. I decided to scrap the entire armor build that I ALREADY did because it was too bulky. I'll for sure use it in the future for another cosplay and I plan on recycling some of my feather pieces into both Zapdos and Artincuno, SO IT'S ALL GOOD. I wanted to make the armor part of the cosplay thinner, more feminine, and streamlined. I started with the shoes - and actually ended up doing them twice before I was happy with the design. I only have one done right now. Hahah. I currently have that and the headpiece done - ready to prime and paint - and the cloak pretty much finished, aside from a few details and weathering. Does anyone else deal with constantly wanting to change their designs?!?!I seriously have anxiety attacks over these things and I don't know why. I'll sit and obsess about pieces until my stomach hurts and my heart races, and then I have to change it. I have a hard time like the decisions I make and I'm constantly seeking validation for my work. I don't like that. I'd like to be confident in my abilities... You see, I'm having this problem now with the headpiece. I think it looks to Native American.. and I'm sure there's no way to tell until I have it done and secured and I'm wearing it for a bit. I'll probably end up changing it.. it's starting to give me an attack. Things in red haven't been started, things in purple have been started, and things in green are done.
