🌈 A bit about Myself 🌈

Erika (aka Carnival or simply Carni) is a Tasmanian born, Aussie specialising in Anthropomorphic Design & Illustration.

At present I reside in Melbourne, (Victoria, Australia) with my wonderful housemates, 2 feline furballs, Domino & Raven, (🦎🕯Rest in Peace Blanc, March²⁸ 2025) whilst practicing the ancient art of 'Drawing cool sht'

I identify Pan, Poly & Demi with no strict preference on pronouns; use whatever feels right!

I enjoy endlessly working with folks in bringing dreams to life through creative expression!

Artwork, cooking, bedside philosophy, it's all great! ❤️

🔎 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 🔍

❤️ Are you currently Open for Commissioning?

Yeah! Kinda!

I run in-stream commissioning days a few times a month from which folks can order art-stuffs for on the day/following week turn-around! ♥

The Info page linked above will elucidate on;
• The monthly theme
• Examples
• Pricing estimation
• How-to-order details
•an FAQ and more!

🧡 Will you be opening for regular commissioning again?

I'm proper 'not sure' actually~

The Stream Days commissioing format is both easier to manage and has been really good for productivity and keeping turn-around time down (so it's hard to want to stray far from)

And if you are after something more specific (like a Conbadge, Ref Sheet, Avatar or Banner artwork, and ink-only with cleaner lines, etc) then asking about that prior and paying an amount sufficent to cover what you are after can still all be done through the Ko-fi Commissioning system :)

💛 How long is your Art Queue at the moment?

*Zilch! (thank gad!)

On the days, bookings will queue up in the order they are placed and paid for.

—But once started; orders tend to be worked on and finished up on the day, or in the following days before the next Scheduled Stream (if the day sees a lot of orders/gets super busy) ♥

_{I sometimes might have a project I am working on outside of commission-work also, but largely the new format has wait-times down to an all-time low! ^_^}

💚 Do you sell NSFW artwork?

I do not sorry! (/Sort of)

Anyone even lightly familiar with my work will know that a lot of the content I do cover can be very suggestive at times, so while some things might not strictly adhere to being entirely SFW; I will not sell work of an outright explicit pornographic nature.

Thing like;
•Artistic Tasteful Nudity
•Some 'implied, but not shown' content might be ok
•And some 'Convenient Censoring' also might be acceptable

But always check direct ahead of or when booking!

💙 Can I post artwork you have made for me from my own online spaces?

Of course you can! (You bought it afterall!)

🔹Would hope that crediting for the creation of the artwork would link back to me in some capacity too please though!
_{(via any of my frequently used Social-Media hubs or website direct )}

💜 Can I sell products that Feature artwork you have made for me on it?

Not without the purchase of a Reselling Licence.

(And depending how small or large your operation is will range from
•being a 3xbase (on top of a given order) as a once-off purchase
•to being an on-going Royalties% cut of annual or quarterly sales.)

*Resale Licences are up for negotiation on a case by case basis.

🔸 If you are hoping to use something I've made for you as a stand alone item (such as website banners, printing off a single personalised article of clothing, or a mug for yourself or a friend as a once-off present for example)

Things like that do not require a Resale Licence (as you are not then going on to make a profit from those) but a head's up with your intentions when ordering is appreciated! 😊
