Hi, I'm Makii!
I’ve been an artist for over 5+ years, both in professional and hobby setting! Drawing and animation has always been an essential part of my life — it got me through one of my toughest financial times and will always be grateful for it.Through my work, I hope to share that same beacon of hope with other artists and my audience alike!
About yourself and your brand!
The name 'carleaux' comes from my real-life name, with a bit of flair added to it! Most of my work revolves around creating 'furries,' and it's one of my favorite things to draw. I love telling realistically optimistic stories, adding a touch of humanity through anthropomorphic animals.While I’m an artist who can draw just about anything, these little critters have become a big part of my branding!
