I will start by saying that 2016 and 2017 will not be very productive years, business wise, as far as I know yet. The boyfriend proposed to me back in November, so we're officially engaged <3 and wedding is tentatively October 2017. So, there are lots and lots of things to plan, do and make. Biggest project being the wedding dress. I'm designing and my mother is helping me make it 
. (She promised me in 1st grade that she'd make my prom and wedding dress. So here we are). I'm hoping I can at least do some sketch studies in the mean time to keep my skills sharp, because I'm noticing that they're definitely lacking as of late. The only products that'll be new will most likely be a result of making something for the wedding and going "hey...I got an idea" (saying that with more of a redneck voice makes it more amusing XD).
Also, business aside, a few other things to note. Next week monday is FINALLY my golden birthday. Super excited. I even have the next day off so I can go get a few birthday shots (I have -yet- to do the whole free birthday shot thing that we do in our area....but now this year I will, and then I don't have to anymore lol).
My coworkers and I are also doing a fitness challenge that involves $$$$ so that is plenty of motivation to get my butt going. I've gained 30 lbs since I was my lightest in 2013 and that's gotta change D:< We're all going to be super sexy for the summer, and that makes me incredibly excited. I want to be fit and healthy by the time the wedding comes, and so I can make cosplays I've wanted to for a long time but never had the self confidence for (since I -hate- my body. Ick).

I apologize for the fact that I've been missing here on dA for so long. There has been a lot of change going on the last few months that has kept me busy. Aside from battling many bouts of depression and anxiety, I've transitioned from two part time jobs to one full time job and one part time job, averaging about 50 hours a week or so. Goal is to pay off the school loans by next year October ish.
In the mean time, I've been using my two days off a week to pattern my 6 piece collection I hope to have finished by this fall. I'm not sure if I will (it's taking longer to pattern than expected) but I can definitely try! Hopefully by August I
At last....premium!
As some of you have noticed, there are some changes going on with my dA.
Loooooonnnng time ago, I used to brand everything with "SeikoMiwarui" because that was my alternative persona, but, as I move forward with my life, it is time to change. Rather than give up my tenure to start a new account (idk why...I'm strange like that), I just decided to buck up and get a premium account. I really wanted "AlizarinCrimson" but someone had it...sooo....CrimsonStarEmporium it is!
Eventually I want to learn how to make a template for a journal for myself but...that will have to wait >>; One thing at a time.
Some other new exciting things is t
I'm still here, I promise D:
Hey everyone! As you'll notice, I've been updating again with things from over the summer, and what have you. Most of it is jewelry, but, I may upload some drawings (graphic, or traditional....) maybe haha. Eventually I should get back in to actual drawing before I lose it D:
Either way. In May, our school held the fashion show at the Harley Davidson Museum in downtown Milwaukee and it was AWESOME. Pictures can be seen here, taken by my brother: http://jasonengebos.zenfolio.com/p974399554
I have to say, I'm pretty proud with how my collection turned out. http://jasonengebos.zenfolio.com/p974399554/h2bcd056e#h2bcd056e

I know this post is a few years old now and we only spoke briefly and time kinda got away from me - If you are still working on weight loss it's one of the few areas I'm knowledgeable thanks to my military past. It's REALLY important to practice a crawl, walk, run approach and not beat yourself up over the highs and lows. Slow, constant, and sustained burns are the best for a lot of folks if you can't handle high intensity workouts when you are starting out. I actually have a weight loss group on Facebook where a bunch of us folks are constantly motivating each other because it is a lifelong struggle for me and many others. The trick is just taking it one day at a time.
Also, congrats on the engagement and I'm taking a wild guess, marriage by now!
