Hello. As stated above, my 2 2yo female cats are suddenly acting violent to our 1 7yo female cat. They are all roughly the same weight (8.5lbs) with one of the two being 10lbs.

Our 10lbs cat has been in her heat cycle (or I believe so?) for a week or so, and now her sister appears to be syncing with her. Typically they are just very vocal and try to coax our boy cat (4yo), but he is neutered and doesn't really care. We haven't quite gotten around to spading them but I fear this time we will.

As I was getting ready for bed, suddenly I hear cats screeching and wapping and found the two beating up the older one in my closet. They kept following her and attacking her so I crated them and separated. This morning when I tried to let her out to pee, the two (whom I already let out to pee as well a few hours before this) began the tirade again.

The smaller of the two, at other times will sometimes smack or be funny w the older cat, but never attack her like this. The heavier of the two generally doesn't do anything like her sister.

I'm upset now because the smaller one has been a problem on occasion but I don't want to re-home them. I hope this is just a heat cycle issue but what can be done if it isn't?

So, as the title states, I'm a little unsure about taking my style in a new direction. I guess it isn't quite a 180° from where I am now, but it doesn't feel more "simple" and flat than the work I currently have in my portfolio.

It's not that I don't enjoy the portoflio work, but that I always get hung up on composition and other art school prethinking crap that I find myself procrastinating the actual work in the end. Like, do I really need to do a research-project and moodboard for every illustration, even for a doodle?

I've been trying to get entry-level jobs here and there with the current portfolio but I feel so uninspired by it anymore, if that makes sense? I just want to draw and let what comes to mind fall onto the canvas!

Hello. I was looking at some older posts from this thread and noticed a lot of talk towards not doing mentorship programs because of money and other predatory reasons by agencies.

For context, I decided to remake my art portfolio for illustration only and while staying up late at night, I browsed through some illustration agency programs to see what was out there. I haven't really kept up with the art world as much in the last two years so I'm kind of blind as to what's all going on atm but I do remember looking at agencies when I was fresh out of school.

Do you think this is a good first step back into the art scene for me to get some work, what are your thoughts or experience with this?

Hi there. So I've been debating on downsizing from my current iPad Pro 12.9" (2022) for a minute now because I think I'm realizing how awkward it is for daily use. I previously owned the 11" Pro (2019) and had no real problems with it. When I upgraded to the larger size, I assumed it would be more beneficial to my art workflow but it doesn't really benefit me that much more greatly.

Alternatively, I've also been eyeballing the Mini 7 but I know that's much much smaller. I guess any insight on downsizing for art/illustration purposes would help. Thank you!

Hello there 🤠. As the title suggest, I had a questions about CSP EX for the iPad Pro. I was trying to find other boards in the thread but got confused by some of the licensing issues.

Is it even possible to download CSP EX onto the iPad Pro? I had used it before with my PC + Wacom for some time, but switched to my iPad because my Wacom was having technical issues and I eventually just stopped using it.

If I can't download it on the iPad, what other portable devices do you guys use to support EX? I saw one post mention the Lenovo Yoga, and I haven't quite looked into if Apple makes something like that (so I could possibly keep Procreate 🤞).

That is all, thank you!
