Pushing Boundaries -- Featuring A.F.I Designs and Kyxe Skins & Shapes

I have been pushing the edge of what I know to new extremes here in Second Life as well as my paint program. I use Corel Draw X4 for those who know about those details. I edit most of what I do with simple cropping, the occasional retouch of a missed pixel, but not too much of the fancy stuff.

I want to learn the fancy stuff, and I imagine that's why I'm in the process of asking questions to those I know who are already fantastic artists in this realm. Not every artist works with fashion, and that's neat too, and exposes me to other points of view. I get impatient with myself at times.

I think I've always been that type of personality. Once I set my mind to learn something, I will eventually learn it but I'm my own worst critic and I always want to know it all NOW and I want it to look GREAT the first time out of the starting gate. Both of which, of course, make no rational sense.

I've done other things in Second Life; I've done a lot of other things really. Every 4-6 months, I put one idea down and try another. I get bored easily, or have gotten bored easily in the past. This thing with fashion, and modeling, and photography and blogging though... it challenges me, and after 2 years and 2 months I'm still working towards goals. I know I have a long way to go, but I know that with each step I take, and each boundary I push, I get a little closer.
