2021 DA Usage Update

Weelp. I might have accidentally mass-deleted my DeviantART notifications a moment ago~ .. Getting through all of the mile-and-a-half high stack of old comments and replies was something I had aspirations of finally getting through one day (but could never quite chip down into at any rate faster than that would flood in also) And with that now way to easily evaporated (with no way to easily bulk select chunks for deleting) and seemingly no recovering those either, that is indeed properly gone to the wind~ My apologies if there was anything ever sent along that left you waiting on a response, and you're seeing this now also.. -I do appreciate every word of encouragement, kindness and support offered throughout the years that started becoming too large for me to get my arms around each day/week/month/year. If there is anything urgent you might want a response on, please send a direct Note, or better yet bump an e-mail along to: mail@carniART.com

I otherwise do not really check the messages on this website as often as other ports of call, Social-Media wise. Those now being

(Thanks!)

..And Still pluggin through the last of the pending Commissions Queue too

I Had hoped I would have had all of that done by now (but perhaps that was fairly ambitious of my initial predictions in hindsight) So to see a Listing on what is still being worked off, and the progress-stages of those, [check out whichever journal is the latest submission on FurAffinity] Once that has been all squared back to 0 & my website launched fully I shall be opening for regular Art-Commission Ordering once again; but until then I still host In-Stream Art Events a few days a month each month which run Pay What You Want (over a min of 15$aud)

& those are generally a pretty fun party event too, non-buyers welcome also! ^_^

This Feb Schedule shows a little bit more info as to: • What to Expect and examples of the In-Stream commission scribbles • How to Order • Dates and Themes for those too

March Schedule to be announced soon

Best place to stay up to date with daily activity is my Telegram Channel;

Apart from that; DA has become more a location to post finished works in a gallery system (that, to be fair, isn't as well organised with it's folders as it could be) but Also sports a SUPER handy in-gallery-only Search function too (which makes folders a little redundant in that way) :S So Kudo's DA! you still have that function over other websites I use presently! X3

AHH MISSED OPPORTUNITY for making that on a FRIDAY the 13th THIS YEAR. NOOOOES/DANG IT) and then the following Thursday (the 26th) -and very maybe/potentially a last one on the final weekend (28 or 29th) Shall see! ♥

For catching those when they are on;

-Check Out/get plugged in on my [Picarto Account]

-Or see announcements/updates/etc [over on the Telegram Channel] as they happen!

-Otherwise, will aim to put up Streaming posters here & around my active social-media in general as that's on also!

Another Member behind the Scenes also!

You have likely met or seen them in passing around the edges; but now Officially role-trailing :devmeltoria: into being the CarniART Secretary part-time! 🎉

Thus far we are seeing how that all goes over this month and the next; they are taking up a bunch of the back-end Administration work in order to free up my hands towards doing more of the drawing-part (making the whole endeavour more efficient!)

Touch-wood that all things go smoothly (..and love to have them full home-working freelancer by the turn of the year if things line up!)

But socks before shoes!

-Get through 2020 and see what the future brings :)

Chipping away through Commissions Queue

Apart from the above, just doing my best to chip through and get the current work-load queue all squared and clear but the end of this year if I can!

On, what feels like, the home-stretch and excited to have that all done with to re-open properly shortly after into a brand new strong 2021! ♥

STAY SAFE and KIND to one another as always!

We're almost through this hard year and rocketing towards better times!

Catch ya all soon!

Head Up & Moving Forward. Be the change we want to see in the world

Big Changes to Illustration Gig

• [Website Coming Soon!]

• New Telegram Channel up and running! Need to be on Telegram to make use of this I believe(*?) and [check that out here!]

Created it primarily as a Commission Ordering info hub, but might also use it to highlight:

• -Stream Events

• -Special Offers

• -Updates on other New & Exciting things coming up

• -& also serves as a Nexus point for sharing nifty creative resources too!

• New Work-related E-mail Address: mail@carniart.com Switched most things over to this now, and it'll be a much easier centralised location to keep track of work-related correspondence!

• Commissions Closed for taking new Orders (for the first time in years)

This is needed to clear the current List fully back to 0.

*But fret-not! Will still catch the odd In-Stream Scribble-Com Stream over on Picarto & may host the odd YCH Auction through that too in before that is re-opened official again

• Switching up a lot of how I am likely going to run it all behind the scene (which means good things for the front-end, not just a price-hike, don't worry!)

Things like:

-Accessibility for customers, old and new will increase

-Queue and turn-around times I hope to keep down a lot more than they have been prior

-More special-offers and Events highlights more often

-Increased personal project time (towards more fun things available, like Postcard packs, a Perpetual Calendar, Apparel and other 'my art on stuff' Items, and finally.. MEBBE FINALLY that yearly Calendar I have been wanting to take up again since 2013!

• One of the ceilings I'd hit prior was the limited amount of man-power I have to accommodate what it takes to grow what I do larger.

(Being a one-person outfit means I can only reasonably stretch so far and do so much) But that might be changing in the (hopefully) near future! Have a few close-friends helping out right now, but would like to extend that to paid-admin work by the end of the year if I can! ♥

This Year has indeed been Rough

It largely has had it's ups and downs for me personally. (as I'm sure everyone is feeling. or worse) Whilst on one hand my self-employed Illustration job doesn't really change all that much, working from home already, its been pretty killer in not being able to see friends in person, nor attend not just conventions but a large part of everything outdoors at all (with Melbourne Australia experiencing some pretty pretty harsh lock-down)

& for good reason of course with a world-wide Pandemic this serious (which is more than understandable.) There is even a silver-lining in what the switch-up in dynamic has presented as far as a breather from the cycle of; Convention prep > convention attending > convention wind-down > then back into Con-prep again. And a sorely needed overhaul to the Illustration Gigs business-end has been in order for a rather long time. •There has even been some happily accidental opportunities that have presented themselves in being able to better run it all and have that be more profitable with less time having to be put in also. (And I'm almost certain that with so many being stuck at home with only digital means of entertainment more at their disposal, there has been a bit of a boom for streamers & smaller-time freelancers all over also too) •So Looking ahead and aiming to put in preparation-work in order to re-launch revitalised and both-feet forward into 2021 and beyond! ❤

And Finally!

And with all that outta the way here's 2 rad something to end off on! [Double Birthday Scribble Stream event!] on tomorrow/the 7th Aus-time! [And CloudCuckooCountry's Latest Vidya!] If your at all think-y, Read-y, a Literature buff (or Novice!) whom likes to to learn stuff; this is for you!♥
