ISO: REQUESTS
2 min read
Long story short, my husband lost his job the other day, and it's turning into a massive, ugly mess, and we're not really sure how to pay bills while he job-searches around town. I think sometime soon I'd really like to open commissions and be able to feel that confident in my art. I think the whole reason I haven't been able to lock onto it is the fact that I don't have something to anchor me to working and give me motivation, so I'd seriously would like to try out taking requests to gain some practice and see if that helps me stick to things more thoroughly. And with that:
INFO:
- Not a first come, first serve. I feel much more comfortable working with things that offer inspiration.
- Please be polite to anyone else interested in this, and myself. I shouldn't have to say this but after some nasty shit with people unable to keep their personal opinions to themselves lately, I don't feel comfortable leaving this unsaid.
- I won't be letting you know I'm working on something for you till it's posted (likely), or till stock is found.
- Post character refs, ideas you'd like to see done, stock you really like, music that you'd possibly like to see some inspiration from, even quotes, poems, et cetera.
- Please don't request or post anything offensive, NSFW, or anything overly gory. Comments will be hidden if so.
- Kirins and Pegasi are very welcome, but expect some rust.

cat training advice??? please help
4 min read
EDIT: MY BENGAL IS A GEN. 4, NOT A GEN. 1/2. SHE IS SPECIFICALLY BRED TO BE A HOUSE PET BY HER BREEDERS.
i wasn't about to cave and start looking for advice publicly because things have been really good with my lil bengal lately, but good god, she's turning into a massive drama queen and it's getting ridiculous and difficult to break her of nasty habits so i need some tips on this.
as a note, i bought her KNOWING how bad bengals can be since i had very recent experience with the worst one of them all, and so far ali has been the literal definition of a saintly angel compared to him. there's just some things i can't get a grip on ugh
so a lil bit of information: i've been having issues with her waiting until it's nighttime and she sees my husband and i go into the bedroom for bed and then beginning to act as if she forgets anything she's learned and acted like during the day. she acts insanely stupid at times but i swear her brain goes above and beyond when she wants it to. the issue i'm having at night is that i'm constantly having to get up to find out she's nosing around the trash(something she knows she's not supposed to do) or climbing onto my tv stand, which worries me the most because its a 50' TV, and while it's not likely to fall because she's bumping into it, i still worry about it falling and possibly crushing and my other cat at night and me not being able to stop it from happening. i've also found out she's climbing onto the coffee table as well, another thing we thought we broke within the first week of having her.
apparently not :/
my other cat is a saint compared to her, but still tries to get in on the bad child actions but unlike the bengal, she learns in a snap because i can spray her with a squirt bottle and might as well have a thin line of urine following her when she gets sprayed. she HATES it, but my bengal just looks at me like i'm fucking stupid and a minor inconvenience when she gets squirted. if i get her in the face, she reacts and takes off but it doesn't teach the lesson.
after all of this i've come to putting her into my spare bedroom with her stuff to get her thro the night (a bed, litter box, water, toys, the works for her so she'll be content) because i can't trust her at all. my husband and i usually punish her and the other cat with snapping since the other cat knows that means "oh i need to stop sorry" and she caught onto it herself, but that's just to get them to stop and let them know not to do it. if we've got to do anything serious, they usually get a lil pop to the butt and we'll carry whichever one it is in the crate in our back bedroom for a few minutes and let them cry it out till they're quiet and seem to understand they fucked up. that's given me the best results out of all of her punishments, but i don't feel comfortable doing it to her for every lil thing.
so is there anything anyone used to break their cats of becoming a terrorist at night, and having an alternative to squirting them with water?? we do play with her as much as we can, our other cat plays with her to help with her energy and they have a great time, we're starting leash training later today because it's warm enough out to think of that now and i've heard in a lot of places letting your bengal out helps their wild streak, but i live in an apartment complex by a busy road, and she's SUPER obviously a bengal. someone would steal her in a heartbeat if she got let outside unsupervised, and either sell her(she's worth like $1400 and i can imagine anyone would lunge at big bucks for her) or keep her for breeding if they snatched her up.
also going to mention this cat is NOT going to be spayed anytime soon, and i'm gonna ignore you if you suggest spaying her for her attitude because she's papered and has an amazing coat and temperament past this stuff, so we're intending to have maybe one or two litters out of her if we can find a decent match for her.

ACCEPTING INTEREST OFFERS: sikeax

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING OFFERS OF INTEREST ON SIKEAX
Now accepting offers of INTEREST preferably around $300-450 USD
sta.sh favourites
Q&A
Is this a true sale??? Will I be able to purchase Sikeax's design and artwork with my offer soon?
the answer on this is no, and no. This is not a genuine sale, i'm seeing who is interested and what amount you'd like to pay.What will happen if I make an offer and the offer is accepted(in the future)?
We can work out a payment plan together if need be. At the decision of sale, I'll message you first before the journal goes up and we'll talk it out before any big moves are made. Again, this isn't assured. I'm only looking for possible interest and see who is gonna be part of the field.I don't have the money for it right now, but can work out a payment plan with you later. Can I still offer?
Yes! I'm more than happy to eventually work out payment plan. This is to see what people think she's worth compared to me. I'd also really would like the chance to be picky in the long run if she does go, so please don't feel bad if you offer and she does eventually go to sale, and you're not contacted. How do I offer?
Simply comment below with what you'd think you'd like to pay for her artwork if the chance arose. I'm not expecting or demanding that people go thro offers if they offer now and can't afford anything in the future. Join the community to add your comment. Already a deviant? Log In

- - i prefer payments to be in three parts: one at the start(i require this before working), one after a good work in progress is sent, and the last to be sent before it is posted(a blurred or image with large text over it will be sent before asking)
last but not least, i'll run thro the math and such and send you the quote and how you can do the payments so its much easier on the buyer. if you want to pay the payment all at one point and make this clear to me, i'm more than willing to do that.
