Deviation Actions
So, for the past 2 months I've been unemployed. I lost my job at my previous employer during a merger with their (larger) sister company. So I've been pretty depressed and stuff about that, but for the past few weeks things have been really picking up, pretty much to the point where I was having interviews, possibly several, every single week day. That took up a lot of time and I haven't had much time to work on artwork and things. Though, I have been working on creating concept art for a game under the project name 'Cascade'. I hope to release some of that concept art and 3d models at a later date (maybe not the 3d models, as I might not have permission to post that type of project asset).
But everything in the past week has changed a lot of things. I got an offer that I accepted for a job in Houston, Texas for[x]k/yr with some pretty awesome benefits, a lot better than my last job (both in pay and benefits). So, I'm really excited about that, and I am moving to Texas this Saturday and starting my new job on Monday.
I'm also going to do a lot more artwork that I'll be posting here. Not all of it is going to be good, I'm just letting you guys know that so that you're not going to be immediately disappointed with the quality or something. I'm going to work on trying to get 2 to 3 pieces of artwork done per week. They may or may not be digital. But, I've been thinking and I kind of really want to be a good artist, like someone who is at least somewhat known around the table. The only way to do this is to take what you do by storm, and do as much as you can and try as hard as you can to improve. Sometimes I forget that, that, you have to push yourself beyond what you think you are capable of to become something that you really want. So I'll be working a really hard on my artwork and such when I get to Texas. I'm really looking forward to it.
Anyways, I just wanted to give you guys an update since things have change a bit since my last journal and things.

Story Time!
So, as you've probably seen, there's been a lot of changes that have been going on around my account, my activity, and other stuff. There's some pretty good reasons behind this, and I feel like it's okay to share them with you guys in case you're all wondering why I'm doing 'x' or whatever.
So I've been dealing with mental illness for a long time, in specific, I suffer from Bipolar 1 and have some dissociation disorder. For a long time, I've had the depression part of my BPD kinda treated, I guess, but I was never really able to get the mania part of BPD looked at very well because it's... well... it's not like 'bad', you know? Whenever I ha
Who do you want to be?
When you aim low and hit high, Whether it be circumstance or skill, you end up being dissatisfied with an otherwise great result.
My goals were always very simple:
Become a computer hacker
Prove myself to my parents
Be better than my sister
Coming in at Age 22, I had achieved all 3 of those things and have been kinda on auto-pilot ever since. Now I have to answer the question, what do I want to do, and who do I want to be? What, do I want to be? If I had aimed high, I'd still have something to chase for, I'd still have something to prove. But I didn't, and now I'm just here, not sure where to go next. I've got a thousand inklings of what
Requesting Requests
So I'm going be be opening up requests (well, officially, it's not like I would have turned someone down if someone asked me).
The reason for this is that I'm having trouble doing art because I don't have anybody to hold me accountable for anything that I'm doing. So I'd like for someone to hold me accountable to for something that I'm offering (i.e. requests).
So, if you want something, feel free to ask. Two week turn around minimum. It can be as complex as you want it but needs to be of a digital nature (no traditional art this time).
List of things that I'm able to do (not conclusive both sfw and nsfw):
Pixel Art (maybe pixel animation

What was your first deviation?
In all technicality, it would be this one:
It was created with material from my old account and put together quickly without proper formatting. I almost los
