Chapter 2: REYNA

PJO Storyboard: The Athena Parthenos Trio in Albania

My 8 years-old cat Mikoto just had a kidney surgery that saved her life.

One of her kidney had two stones which were preventing her from draining urine correctly. The doctor said her kidneys were full of pus.

Post-surgery, she’s doing ok but we don’t know how ok she will be. But I have high hopes.

Now I have to pay her medical bills. It’s very expensive: almost 4000$.

So far, I spent 1000$ and I don’t have any more left to pay the bills.

I could save up some but it will take a lot of time which I don’t have.

I have to pay the clinic in the upcoming days and they don’t facilite payment. (They do but there’s a 4% interest).

It’s really URGENT. 

That’s why I created a gofundme page (link).  

I know I’m asking a lot and I don’t really like doing it but it’s my last solution. 

She’s truly the best cat anyone could wish for. 

She’s a lovely cat who likes to play and hang out near you. She’s really cute and my family and I love her so very much. 

When I first heard she was dying I was devastated I didn’t know what to do.

But she’s a true fighter. While her kidneys were slowly failing she was in tremendous pain but she kept going. She’s very brave.

That’s why I can’t give up on her and why I need your help. 

Help me let her have a few more years please. 

Here’s the link:

Please share a lot and if you could donate even 1$ it would help a lot. 

I would be eternally grateful.

Both her kidneys have stones now. 

The doctor said that her kidneys tend to produce stones which will eventually get stuck in her ureters. 

So she needs to have a new surgery soon. They will put plastic tubes that will act as her ureters and help her evacuate urine and stones. 

It’s a risky and expensive surgery but it’s my last hope to save my Mikoto.

The amount needed for this surgery will be the double of what it’s currently needed. 

So every penny and reblog count. 

I really need your help to save her. I know it may be ridiculous to pay this much for a cat but she’s truly like a member of my family.

She’s been there for me when I was going through hard times. She’s been one of the reason I could make it when times were difficult and one of the reason I’m still here today.

She’s a cat who wants to live and even though she’s not the toughest cat she doesn’t give up. 

I can’t let her go without trying everything to save her.

for all the artist following me

Have two sketchbooks: One for finished and high-quality art (stuff made with Prismacolor or Copic if you use that or art for your portfolio) and the other sketchbook for more messy doodles. This way you have a place to try new things and mess up as much as you need. When I only had one sketchbook I was scared to draw in it because I didn't want to mess it up

Do studies. I cant tell you how much I've improved just by doing studies of shoes, hands, noses, and all that. This works for when you have art block too since you’re not really making stuff up and just learning how real things work.

Learn from others. I’ve never taken a real art class because 1. I can’t afford it and 2. there’s no good art classes/programs at my school. I’ve been following several artists and learning from them over the years and they’ve helped me tremendously. Just please do not steal art because that is never okay.

Break down concepts. If you notice there’s something wrong with your piece then figure out why. You can’t get better if you leave mistakes and don't try to understand whats going on. If the color is weird figure out if the values look right or maybe its the saturation of the color.

Watch youtube tutorials. Here are some youtubers I think are pretty good art teaching all things art: Draw with Jazza |  DrawingWiffWaffles |  Proko |  Baylee Jae

Have an inspiration folder/blog. Sometimes you just need a collection of starry nights or a misty forest or even a French bakery. All of those things can help you get inspired to draw. It could even be completely unrelated to what you plan to draw.

There are no dumb ideas in the creative process. If you want to draw a lizard in a dress go for it! If you want to draw various pastries with faces do it! Don’t let the thought of it being too dumb stop you because if I’ve learned anything in my several years of drawing it’s that an idea can lead to another and another and another and you may get a really good idea just from doodling dumb things.

Here’s a few things that can get you started on drawing better:
