So this is the entry that put me out of the Project Catwalk competition.
I'm not mad about it. I loved this entry and I told myself that if this was the entry that I was eliminated for, then that's that. I personally loved everything about this design, but the judges felt that her face stood out too much on the light skin tone.
I can't really argue with that, I just don't see it as a problem I guess. I know I could have used my voucher to get advice on it, but I adored what I made and honestly didn't want to change it.
This feels like the best I could have possibly done and therefore it feels appropriate to go out on this note. I'm not what they are looking for. I made it more than halfway, so I'm proud of that.
I enjoyed this challenge, but I can't say that I'm sad to have something taken off of my plate. I wanted to join this contest because I thought it would be fun to try something new with making avatars. It definitely was, but I also am happy to go back to making avatars that just make me happy.
I know that not everyone likes what I like and not everyone agrees with my sense of style, so I'll just be content to make myself smile. This entry did that and so much more. I love it so much. The judges didn't agree, but to me that is the perfect reason why exiting at this time feels right.
This is so much of who I am, I don't want to change to fulfill their requirements. If that means I don't win, then I don't win. I had fun and I'm grateful that I participated.
