Political ads, redux

Do they really think we voters will see this doom-and-gloom ad saying "Candidate X is a CAREER POLITICIAN who received ONE MILLION DOLLARS of TAXPAYER MONEY over a 32-year career" and not be able to work out that this amounts to a salary of just slightly over $30k a year?  Are public servants and their families supposed to wear sackcloth and ashes and abandon their vocation after some arbitrary number of years, now?

...Don't answer that question omigods I just want this election to be over already.

Inktober, results

I know there are still a few more days left in the month, but I'm not going to have any more pieces completed before then.  So here's what I managed to create for my special Inktober project, which was to produce line art for as many Noema cards as possible.  My goal was to get four cards done, one per week with a few days left over for buffer, and I am reasonably happy to have actually done three.  (There was a point during the Empress where I thought I would be lucky to finish two.)

Ignore the fact that they are different sizes; that is entirely due to me not caring how they're cropped when I flatten and shrink the WIP file for these preview images.  All the final versions get cropped to a uniform size and then shrunk to an appropriate size.

Cards below the cut out of courtesy.

Next: the Visionary.  Which I have no idea what I'm doing design-wise.  And at some point I'll be coloring and finalizing these three, as well.
