Sorry, there's no art;
Been busy with my new job,
But paychecks are nice.
I got hired as a Network Support Engineer at a pretty big company over here. I [will] basically work a call center helping harried system admins with broken networks that our products can magically fix (and it is kind of magical). It's been a whole lot of fun to sit in a room with other people who can do hexadecimal calculations in their heads (haven't had that since my first undergraduate degree).
Intellectual elitism aside, I am doing well. I have a couple big illustrations that I'm working on for a friend's wedding gift, and an art collab with another friend (she who designed the Imgur giraffe: affableanimals.tumblr.com/), and I'll post them when I can. I don't know when I'll get around to other things.
I know, I know. People only come here for the ponies. Whatever.

Not an art update.
TLDR: I had my players defeat Trump in effigy this weekend in a tabletop RPG.
So, this Saturday we finished up a two-part adventure in the D&D campaign that I'm running. Long story short the group (on the trail of counterfeit gold coins, a smuggled artifact, and a, literally, noble woman being held prisoner in her own home by a controlling authoritarian husband) faced off against a gold golem and an albino duergar (a dwarf race from the Underdark... er, underground dominions) who was using a machine to cast lightning bolts at people.
At the time I described the golem as looking like a giant screaming cyclopean baby, which was true, but in
2014: A good year
So, I haven't done a heck of a lot of art, but looking for a place to live in a new city is surprisingly emotionally and temporally draining. I have been spending my free time recharging the old batteries with a supply of new games (currently enjoying "Shadowrun: Dragonfall" with "Fire Emblem: Awakening" in the queue - I love me a good tactics game), and slogging through the anime offerings at Crunchyroll.
I have, however, made a List of all the viable project ideas that fell by the wayside while that other thing consumed my life. Once I settle into Seattle, 2015 will be a busy year. And yes, there will be ponies - as well as... well...

October update
I have been enjoying my much needed break from all the things. To catch up briefly:
* I found an eminently acceptable online printing service for the card deck. I just need to determine the best method to get them out to people.
* Dealing with plans to move to a different city by the end of October, and all the farewells I have to make before I go.
I have some pony-related illustrations on my plate (including another extended series - because I'm an idiot), and some really fun not pony-related illustrations that I hope, at least, a few of you can enjoy. And then there's the Move which looms ever larger. I really need to get on that... if o
A digression
As I sit here with, arguably, a week's worth of work left to do on the Tarot, I feel I should write about, well, depression.
First of all, thank you again for sticking around despite my sporadic and unpredictable submissions. I have mentioned previously that I am dealing, badly, with severe depression and suicidal ideation, as the professionals call it. There are reasons for it, actual and concrete, and suicide to me is a rational conclusion to draw out of it, at least in my case. I do not condone suicide if you're not me. It is hard to live with depression, it is hard to live in a space that engenders depression, it is hard to work when all
