Ferrets For Charity


I've become involved in a Ferret Rescue charity. It is all not for profit. I can't help with fostering the ferrets or adopting due to my current living conditions, but I'm helping with some marketing, products, etc.

I was wondering if people here would be willing to draw me some ferrets in your own style?
I would like images that I would be able to turn into any, all or one of these things:

Postcards
Badges
Tshirts
Birthday/greeting cards
magnets of different sizes (my favourite magnets to make are pretty tiny, so tiny images would be great too)
Anything else you can think of. You can draw them cartoony, olde fashioned, put ferrets in clothes, draw from weird angles, create something funny or sad or adorable... you can paint, do it digitally, whatever. But I'll need a digital copy of it so I can have a play. If you want to you can add a funny quote, or a Happy Birthday or whatever else. Puns are fun. Think 'what might sell'?

You'll need to give me permission to use the images.

The ferret rescue society pays for: rescue and transport (often resulting in personal injury from bites from abused ferrets), housing, food, medication and other health needs, veterinary bills, desexing, microchipping, etc for rescue and surrendered ferrets. They retrain them and socialise them ready for rehoming, which can take a long time. They give up big spaces in their houses, and a lot of their time, to care for these gorgeous animals. Some of the ferrets can never be rehomed due to the level of abuse they suffered. I met some that are deaf and blind, or were found completely traumatised in a sealed box in the heat of summer, or were found wandering with a collar imbedded in their neck. These ferrets need constant fostering and can never be rehomed.

Your donation of some art (of any level! Seriously, I could turn even a sketch into something) would be greatly appreciated.


Feel free to ask any questions about the society, my ideas, or ferrets.

Yes, you can definitely still help! Draw me some ferrets and then send me the files, that's the best way to help. :) You could draw a Christmas one, or something.

I would like to help, if I still can. I draw ferrets pretty well, so, is there any way that I can help?

I'll have to wait until the site looks more legitimate before I consider donating artworks to it. Sorry, but I've come across questionable places before. *waits patiently*
The artwork will not be going on the website. It'll be sold at market stalls.

Okay, just wanted to make sure. Sorry the website isn't more 'legitimate'. It's just like five people in my city driving around collecting ferrets and helping them, not a big charity.
It's not 'my' charity. But here's the only website they have. [link]

It's Australian, it's in my city. It's basically just a few men and women looking after like 20 ferrets in their homes each.

A link to your charity would be nice.
[link] . Basic website, but there's only a few people in the group. It's small and independent.

Looks nice, if a bit minimal.

Just one thing: It says Rescue's</ib>. That's not good. It should just say Rescues without the apostrophe.
I know. But it is not my site or my charity.
As long as people want to keep giving me things!
Would be amazing if you could do something in a month.

You probably already know this, but if you reply to comments, then it notifies the commenter :}
That's why it took me so long to reply.

Anyways, I'll practice my ferrets and I'll hopefully have something for you in a month ^.^
Yeah I forgot that. :(

Welp, your message got across :3
Anyway, I'm excited to help, since there's no Ferret Charities in my area ;-;

Ferrets~!! ♥ I love ferrets and I want to help, but unfortunately I can't draw them very well ^^; also I don't have access to Ps for a few weeks so I can't graphic.

For now, boost, and how long will this be going on for? In about a month, I can probably give you something more quality :>
