My cat is having problems urinating again. She is straining, and only producing a few drops of urine and a drop or two of blood. I've seen this happen with her before but the all of the vets I took her to only did a limited investigation, concluded with a shrug of the shoulders. (The icing on the cake was the vet who literally squeezed the piss out of her, then said the results were inconclusive because there was bacteria in the urine, but it could've come from her fur. Amazing. Why take a sample that way if it could be contaminated so easily? Bah.) She's an older cat (about 12-13 years old), so I want to have her taken back and examined properly and that's gonna cost money. As I've mentioned, I'm already low on funds, so this isn't a great time, but she's getting old and I'd rather be safe than sorry. This is my furbaby, and she's been with me literally over half of my life. And before you suggest a GoFundMe or something like that, I don't plan on hosting one. I feel bad asking for free money. If you really wanna give me money, you can support me on Patreon (journal header) or send money to my Paypal account (journal footer).

As for the purpose of this journal, what kinds of YCH poses do you like? I apologize in advance if you hate YCHs. I try to be considerate when I post them. I always scrap them when they're done, and I almost never post reminder submissions using the exact same image (that's against the ToS, did you know? And it's very annoying for some watchers). However, this is the most stress-free way for me to offer commissions, so I'm hoping we can compromise. For those who DO like YCH, please provide your input.

I know a few people have asked for clean/general poses, and I see my adult rated ones go for a lot of money. I personally like mature or clean pinups like my current one, but I can go either way. I might dabble in a few fetish themes, like hypno, bondage, or paws. I was also considering offering a YCH with one of my ladies (Aeris or Melia), but that would have to be higher in price, as it's two characters, and I'm not sure if most people are willing to pay that much for my art. I have a TON of ideas for drawings that include backgrounds/settings, that I've been saving for my own characters, but maybe if they sold well enough, I could do them as YCHs instead? For example, I wanted to do one of a character underwater, swimming through a kelp forest. Or I thought it would be cute to have a character who was trying to catch fish, but after failing to catch anything, they tossed the rod aside and dove in, using their hands instead. Just little clips of characters doing things, full backgrounds involved. That's what I want to do with my art..

I'm starting to ramble. Any thoughts? Also, do you prefer flat rate or auctions? Sometimes my auctions go for really cheap, and sometimes they go for above my usual commissions prices (obviously better for me). Some like flat rates because they can snatch it up and know it's theirs, but others like knowing that they can grab the slot just by bidding the most. Both are legitimate and understandable so maybe I'll try both, but it's nice to hear thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Also, would anyone be interested in hiring me to color/shade sketches/lineart? I really, really enjoy doing that. Here are some previous examples where I only colored/shaded, did not alter much lineart:
