Your designs are so cool ! Genuinely look professional, super unique & creative dude!!! Stuff looks like something you’d see with big Art studios n stuff, it’s rly neat
the urge to mass fav your designs is crazy-
your art and designs are seriously awesome??? i've just been looking through them and they're so good, had to subscribe 😭
I noticed you had lps & schleich toys on ur merch list! Could I possibly have specifics for some you are looking for?
Hi there!!
No specific schliechs in particular, I just like ones that make good drawing references!!
So I guess it would depend on the model / Pose!
As for LPS, I actually got a bunch recently, and there are very few I’m still seeking! Mostly monkeys tbh!
hi!! silly question cuz im just curious lol
whats the highest selling adopt you've ever made and how much was it? :0
Hey there!
Well, I’ve been selling adoptable for nine years, but 2021 was the first year I broke 100 USD with a single design.
And LAST year was the first time I ever sold one for 1K!
It was cookie crock and this guy!

Since then, I started working full-time freelance, and I’m super grateful to be able to make designs every day!
Omg!! Carnivox? on toyhouse!? THAT'S SO COOL!! Remember me? RoseisBlind on instagram, das me!

AWW THANKS BRO!
OH totally, I actually use a free brush set by a Deviantart Artist, My lineart brush is the JF2 Ink Chisel!!
https://www.deviantart.com/jasonheeley/art/Jason-s-FREE-Procreate-Brushes-Set-2-UPDATED-814450225
(I highly recommend checking out all of his free stuff, it’s incredible!!!!)
OH HAHA that‘s really kind of you to say!!! I’ve been working my butt off lately trying to draw more expressive poses, so I’m really glad it’s been coming through! Well, I learn is by drawing real animals from observation, you can find pictures of animals running and jumping online, [a hack is to look up hairless animals, so that you can see the muscle structure!]
Other than that, just an enormous amount of practice! Also suggest doing studies of other artists work! Obviously don’t publish it or claim it as your own, studying other artist’s work is another great way to find what you like and what you don’t like!!!
Hello there! I’m so sorry to bother you, I would really like to commission you for a refsheet of one of my characters, but I noticed that your commissions are closed! Would you be alright with giving me an estimate of how much a sheet would cost for this specific character just so that I know how much to put aside until you open up comms? This would be the character I would get it of: https://toyhou.se/14756261.-gummie-worm-/16014458.cham-art
Thank you so very much in advance!
Hello there!! <3
Thank you so much for your interest, your character is gorgeous and I would love to work with them!
I’ve got a bit of a to-do list atm, but I’d be happy to take this commission now or in the near future!
You can see examples of my ref sheet comms here, I charge a base price of 150 for the most simple characters!
https://carnivox.carrd.co/#commission
For your character, I would most likely charge ~200 - 220, As I would def want to draw them in active poses and interacting with their tail and stuff!
If this is something you’d be interested in, please let me know! <3
Oh I am absolutely 1000% interested! I would love to do it as soon as possible. My bank account still has to recover a bit from Christmas spendings so once I get another paycheck I’ll send you a message asap!
Tysm for replying to me so fast, Im really looking forward to seeing how you draw Gummie 💙 Feel free to give me a little poke if anything!!
Saw you on Twitter and I just had to subscribe. Your designs are so cute! Hope to buy one some day 🔥w🔥
Oh wow I stumbled on your page and absolutely fell in love, your designs are stunning!! Can't wait to see what else you create omg (★≧▽^))★☆

AHHH thank you, that means to much coming from you!! Your designs are wonderful!!

Of course!! 😭💕 And that means a lot aaaaa!! You're a huge inspiration so I'm feeling super giddy right now lol Also, do you allow DM's? I have some stuff I'd love to ask you! ^-^
Oh wow I just read your profile description and it says that you're a visual art teacher in China?! :DD wow that's so gosh darn cool-
Yeah! I came here to an international school and I’ve been teaching Visual Arts to students from all over the world!
It was super awesome before Covid, because I could travel to Japan and Korea on Holiday, but still a really cool experience!

Hey there!
Well uhh, if I’m being completely honest with you, a lot of my ideas come to me as hypnagogic hallucinations!
Hypnagogia happens when you’re falling asleep (most people get it as a sensation of falling or floating.)
I get that too, but I usually get visual hallucinations, and with my eyes closed I’ll just see a series of mashed-up images!
They usually take on characteristics of stuff I’m interested or were thinking about, so at the end of the day, its just
my brain making unconscious connections between stuff.
HOWEVER, most of my designs are just me taking in stuff I like and changing it with some kind of idea or motif??
Like the Furby Dragon, I love the long furby, which made me think of a lung dragon, so that was that.
and my Blanket Manta design came from how I used to drop a blanket on my friend’s kid and it glided like a manta?
The best way to come up with creative Designs is to actively pay attention to the world around you.
Notice how things work, and try to make connections to other things! Once you get the ball rolling, it Get easier and easier to
make those relations between say, animals and objects! You get into this awesome flow state, where the ideas don’t stop!
SORRY FOR THE LONG ANSWER,
I love taking to artists about their creative flow!!
Heya! Since you're an art teacher, is there any tips that you can give when it comes to anatomy/ general art? I'm kinda still new to the whole art thing, sorry if this bothers you! But thank you for noticing! <3
Hey there! I sure can give it a shot!
(This is some of the main stuff I teach my Grade 9 / 10 students right from the start)
When it comes to anatomy and drawing just about anything, the more you draw, the more you will increase your observational and technical skills!
To improve at drawing quickly, I recommend doing practise drawings daily, even if just for 10 minutes!
And the best is drawing from observation when you’re learning anatomy, birds and butterflies and animals are excellent subjects.
Like any skill, if you put in the hours, you’ll see amazing results!
Another thing I tell my students about is the “canonical perspective.”
This is a phenomenon where even when looking at something in real life, our brain will tell us to draw it in the way it expects it.
When it comes to drawing from observation, even something simple like a mug, your brain will try to get you to draw it the
way it “expects” to see it. This is why most people draw mugs with a flat line at the bottom (it should be an oval usually)
This also happens with faces. ALL human eyes are halfway down the face, but the untrained artist will ALWAYS draw the eyes too high.
The video below explains it fantastically in the first 2 minutes, with regards to faces!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AImS4KG-Uw
Once you learn about this brain sabotage, it helps you to better observe that you’re looking at!
FINALLY, if you have a Skillshare account, I recommend taking Brent Eviston’s Art and Science of drawing course on Skillshare,
I learned a LOT from his classes!!
SORRY THIS WAS SO LONG, I’m one of those rambling teachers haha!!
Heyoo!
Ah i see, following your advice, ill try to do art everyday! Instead of birds, bottleflies and/or animals, is it okay if i draw hands instead (using my own hand as a ref)? I wonder how do you even draw a butterfly from observation.
ooo, i see! I learned something new today!! Ill watch the video you recommended me to watch so that i can understand more! <3
As a grade 10 student, i don't have a Skillshare account since i don't have paypal ;w; but if i do in the future ill def attend the class you recommended! :D
Its okay!! Idm reading long messages :3
and actually i would love to know more if you wanna share! <3 Im always up for learning new things.
(Also i would love to attend your art classes if that was even possible though im pretty sure that's not allowed aaaaa)
Sorry too for the late reply btw!! ;w; if you wanna continue this further we can do it in the DMs if you wanna to prevent having so much messages on your profile (if you don't like having a lot of messages on your profile)
Oh yeah for sure!
By observational drawing, I just mean using photo references, like drawing from real photographs of animals or hands or people!
That way, you’re learning from the source (nature). I recommend buying a cheap sketchbook for this, knowing you’ll fill it with practise stuff.
You caaaaaan practise digitally, but then you might rely on warp / liquify tools too much. Drawing traditionally will really train your hand better!
Oh sure haha, send me a DM, I’m happy to to help out however I can! <3
(Also I live in China, so my timezone is WHACK)
Thank! .w.
ah i see! Rip i don't have a sketchbook but i do have a thick book that doesn't have lines on them (basically just a blank page but with some cute backgrounds on it), maybe that would do then? .w.
I only do fullbody artworks/ ref artworks/ really big artworks/ small gifs/ colouring on digital, since i find it easier to do. But normally when i just wanna sketch some art (and not add any colour on it) i usually do it on a random piece of paper! And use my hand as a ref lol, or a random picture that i can take references on, depending on what i do .w.
Sure!! Ill send you a DM if i have any more questions to ask <3
As a person who live in Asia and close to China, i think our timezones are the exact same lol, right now as i type this it was 9:17am in my country byjdcefd
