Hello! Glad to hear from you. =) Yes, I still work on things, though unfortunately a lot of my day job is under NDA (non-disclosure agreement), so I can't really chat much about my work ... and, honestly, that's most of what I do. So, since I figure nobody's really going to care about what I cooked for supper or where Gwendel and I went driving or how much progress I made on cleaning the house, most of what I'm left with to talk about on LJ is either games, or occasionally art. (For the latter, a lot of the art is for a specific project or another, some of which never even see publication =( so I can't often go posting THOSE on the virtual fridge either.)
Regards the MLP stuff, I'm entertaining the idea of drawing a bunch of "MLP adventurers" and posting a figure flat sheet pdf as a fan-made downloadable at some point. I just think it'd be funny to try to draw ponies in the roles of archetypical "adventurers," though some of them might require a little more work than others. (E.g., a "wizard" with a BIG pointy hat drooped down over the eyes, a cape tied around the neck, and maybe a star-tipped wand clenched in the mouth ... a "knight" with a big brush-topped helmet ala Princess Celestia's guards ... a "rogue" with a mysterious hood and perhaps with cloth-wrapped hooves (for sneaking minus that give-away clip-clop noise) ... a "barbarian" with a very shaggy coat and unkempt look and "war paint" ... a "bard" with, er, SOME sort of musical instrument that a horse could theoretically play (a kazoo?) ... a "cleric" with prayer shawl ... a "druid" with some holly and berries in her hair and little bird and squirrel and bunny animal companions ... a "ranger" with - er - not really sure how that bow is going to work at all, honestly....)
It must be frustrating to not be able to talk to anyone about what you do with most of your time!
I've been looking back at your older entries and peeking at the artwork, and I must say I like what I've seen so far. Definitely looking forward to the final result!
