Missing some rent and internet bill this month, I get paid monthly and will repay you over the course of the next two months at a negotiated interest rate.

My cat has a tendency to want to inspect the cage but I don't trust her, and I noticed that my dog likes to get in her space. A lot. Which she doesn't like, and has the side effect of driving her away from the cage. So it's kind of like he's protecting them and doesn't know it (he LOVES to watch the mice doing their thing, and very cautious around the open door, giving me room to clean and feed).

Enjoy the doodle thumbnail, I promise the video is better.

I have a description, but I don't have the means to make my own digital art right now and I'd love to see what other artists think the character would look like.

​

If you're interested or willing to help me out with my world building project please message me or comment and I'll give you the character description.

For reference the genre is post-apocalyptic modern fantasy

I have a salt lick that slots in between the bars and looks like a carrot. Unfortunately the carrot salt lick created a gap in the bars because the part that clips to the bars was too thin and bent them.

​

A couple of days ago I was a Discord call with my buddy when suddenly there was a mouse on my desk. "WTF?!" I thought she was a house mouse at first. The only reason I spotted her when she got out was because she came right up to me on my desk looking for food, which is also how we determined it was my mouse and not a house mouse (she's brown and I've NEVER seen a wild mouse before).

​

I spent a few minutes trying to get her to crawl in my hand to put her back in the cage (I've had them for two weeks so she's BARELY hand tamed) and go to sit down thinking it was a fluke. She got out AGAIN! This time when I put her back in the cage I watched her and that was how I discovered the salt lick problem. Put her back in the cage and sat down...

​

She got out AGAIN!!!! I had forgotten to bend the bars back into shape...

​

20 MINUTES later after some bribery with a crouton she's finally back in her cage, and I watched her for 5 minutes to make sure she couldn't get out. She even went for the same spot and couldn't escape, only then was I satisfied. She's been safely in her cage since.

​

The reason I didn't notice the problem is the salt lick is intentionally in a very secluded part of the back of the cage to let them have their privacy, as that's where the water bottle is too.

I'm currently broke and waiting to get a drawing tablet to do this kind of stuff myself but in the meantime I was hoping someone or some people could do some character designs for me to add to my worldbuilding project.

Ditis is the land where the beginning of the story takes place, on the planet Aemor. This map was made with Inkarnate. I have no experience making maps.

In the centre of Ditis are the Aeterni Mountains, a powerful spot of concentrated aether where no temple stands. As the location where the first Aeternus to come to Aemor, Volus, it is extremely sacred to all beings. To the East is the human city Divitiae and its Aether Pool temple. To the west is the tiny human village of Wishbone. Consisting of only eight houses it's isolated from the rest of the humans by the mountains and river.

In the west is the Cinder Rift, where a city of Orks live and often raid Wishbone for food and resources. In the center of the Cinder Rift is a poweful Aether pool concealed by a magic desert. Directly to the south of the rift is the Dwarven mountain home of Lapisdok, and their aether pool. They are protected by a large mountain range, and have been working for nearly a century to expand their home to a neighboring mountain.

In the southeast is the Elven island Pulkra. The elves are seafaring merchants, visiting the mainland and travelling to the Dwarven, Orkish, and Human settlements with all kinds of goods.

To the north, the magical tundra with no name (maybe you have a suggestion). It contains an aether pool hidden in the center of the mountains. To the east of that is the prison island, Jokanaan. A horrible, cold, inescapable prison in the middle of the water with no boat access. The island is fully self sufficient as well, meaning no boats need to visit the island. It also has an aether pool, allowing powerful protective magic to be cast without weakening.

The land of Ditis

Cael, the physical dimension, can only be accessed from Aelius via aether pools, spots where the abundance of aether in Aelius leaks into Cael as pools of pure energy.

After being corrupted by the misuse of aether by Hollow Mages around the planet Aemor, the immortal, now god-like, beings known as the Aeterni have begun to spin creatures out of the aether, horrible beasts. The Light Aeterni, who went from being kind gentle souls to apathetic deities, brought forth the Paetrons into the world, dangerous territorial giants that appear in the forms of prey animals. The Dark Aeterni, who went from being peaceful and compassionate to malicious and foul, brought forth the Daemons, vicious hunters that appear in the forms of predatory animals.

They came first from the temples. Places of worship with weak protective magic where the beasts could feast on the largest aether pools before going off into Aemor. Massive terrigying creatures the likes of which the land of Aemor had never seen. When the largest beasts had come through the largest pools, the lesser Daemons and Paetrons came through even the smallest pools of aether as a means of manifesting in Cael.
