Tragedy... Sketch off Saturday, Manga Translation Comissions
13 years ago
Hello everyone.
On Christmas Eve my ferret Bailey started becoming sick from some unknown cause. We ended up taking her to the vet because by the 26th, she was no longer able to walk on her own. She became anemic, dehydrated and progressed in her sickness, even though my husband and I fed her food and pedialyte water every 3 hours. We ended up admitting her to an animal hospital which she stayed in until her anemia and dehydration went away on New Years day. 3 days later we returned to the hospital because her situation did not improve. She stayed overnight in the hospital, and by the morning they told me she was on assisted oxygen, and the steroid treatment they had her on was not helping. Further testing proved that Bailey was stricken with cancer of the blood, lymphoma. In ferrets under 2 years, it's called Juvenile Lymphoma, and unfortunately this type of cancer is extremely aggressive and prognosis is very poor. I could put her on certain therapies to help her live longer, but the fact is, she would live the rest of her short life in agony and pretty much be "paralyzed", so the vet suggested we put her to sleep.
This past Saturday I had to make by far the hardest and most emotional decision I've ever made. Euthanasia is not like holding a love one in your arms until they fall asleep. It was very sudden and very shocking, and it's an image that I feel will haunt me forever, a feeling of guilt and regret that I will always have. I know I couldn't have done anything to help her, she would have gotten this disease no matter what, it's not preventable, and me keeping her alive would have been selfish. Taking her stocking down over the chimney was really difficult. I can't believe I'll never see her again. When my husband and I finally get our own home, we want to buy a spirit tree urn for her ashes...That way she can live on.
Unfortunately, because of all her treatment, we now have to deal with all her medical, euthanasia and cremation bills. As if I didn't struggle enough with my finances, we now need to pay off a credit of over $2,450. It would of been so worth it if she survived, now it's just a nagging reminder of all we lost. In order to now get my finances in order, I'll be doing a sketch off this weekend and currently have vouchers on my store (link below). I hope you all understand I'll be raising the price up $3 to a total of $20 a voucher, because of this large debt I owe. I don't plan to higher it again.
If you would also like to donate to Bailey's medical fund, you can donate via paypal to jitenshanokibou[at]gmail.com
If you would like to see Bailey, I started a tumblr right before the holidays of all my children. I have a picture of Bailey on my site, on the day she began feeling down.

**** MANGA TRANSLATIONS ****
In order to also help with finances, my husband is offering Manga Translation Services. His services cost around $3 a page (up to $5 if it's extremely text intensive) and he will give you a quote before translating. He does all sorts of manga translation as far as genre, so don't be shy to send him any sort of fetish material. He is married to me after all :3 Here is a sample of his work (2 pages worth):

If you are interested in translating a comic into English or Spanish (an extra 10% fee for Japanese to Spanish) you can contact him at s.nizama[at]gmail.com
He can also translate things into Japanese as well, but contact him for prices.
**** SKETCH OFF RULES AND REGISTRATION ****
1) You can purchase a sketch off voucher in my shop for $20. My shop is located at: http://www.e-junkie.com/jitensha
Some people have offered to buy more than one voucher to help me out. THANK YOU! Feel free to buy more if you would like to help and can afford it and are feeling gracious.
I ALSO ACCEPT AND GREATLY APPRECIATE TIPS! I don't expect them but if you feel I surpassed your expectations, it's a nice gesture. I wont ask, not going to judge if you don't.
2) After you purchase your voucher you will e-mail me at jitenshasw[at]gmail.com with your request. PLEASE (VERY IMPORTANT!!!) e-mail me with the same e-mail you purchased your voucher with. I will verify the e-mail with receipt before starting the sketch!
3) Please be READY with your commission idea when you e-mail me.
4) When it is your turn, I will sketch out your concept art live via livestream. If your request has very offensive material (Underage material, poop, bestiality, etc), it will not be broadcasted live to respect other viewers, but I will still do them off screen. Below is a list of things I will draw and will not draw.
5) All drawings will be sketch quality. There will be no backgrounds, and all images will only feature 1 character, or a close up of 2 characters (torso up). You can bypass the 2 character rule by purchasing 2 vouchers. A single character can be interacting with another thing, but not another human (giant body parts are excluded as counting as another human). If you have any questions, feel free to ask below.
6) Slots will be filled in order of received request e-mails that are correctly filled out according to rules. The list will be posted on Deviantart as they are requested. You do not need to join deviantart to see the list which will be updated here specifically: http://jitenshasw.deviantart.com/jo.....ions-347442871
7) You can use your voucher in the future to continue your commission for a discount. Instead of having to pay all over again, I can ink your sketch for $5 or ink AND color for $30 when I open up commissions again.
