I have been around in the furry fandom for a long time, going back to when ftp access at VCL was the online fandom. Despite that, for a long time I wasn’t active in the community, instead preferring to quietly watch others create their art. Now I'm trying to change that! I do industrial control and automation for a living, and try to be approachable so don't be afraid to note or shout at me. I don't bite and try and keep a good sense of humor! I enjoy talking about the furry community, science and technology, anthropomorphic art and the various flavors of lycanthropy. I am not a very touchy-feely person if I don’t already know you.

Generally, I enjoy watching others create art or I commission artists to create art for me. I like clean or tasteful nude art but, as this is the furry fandom, there is NSFW content in my gallery.

A long, long time ago I used to do non-furry traditional media art (landscapes and still life) and, after watching others create art for so long, I've decided to try my hand at character drawing. I am always working to improve my art. I love talking to artists about the process of creating art, digital art techniques and basic art principles. I enjoy art streams because, while we only learn by doing, I think some things rub off when watching others.

Interests of mine include lycanthropes, anthropomorphic dragons and other fantasy beasties (mostly anthropomorphic and usually feline) in general. Cheetahs are my favorite big cat, as you could probably tell from my character. When I’m playing an Elder Scrolls game (like Skyrim), I’ll be playing a Khajiit. I miss their cheetah-esque look in Morrowind. For the curious, my character name comes from a lycanthrope character I used to play back in high school and college. While I’ve never had anyone think I copied the name, I have been using it since about 1987. My cheetah character is more often just called “the cheetah” than his name. I don’t know why it’s so rarely used, but I think quaylak was the first artist to even ask me for it.

For a list of works I have commissioned, or am commissioning, and their status I try and keep this journal up to date.

Art Tools: SAI Paint as I love how it feels when sketching and inking. PS CS2 because everyone says PS is needed for serious color. Wacom Intuos (non-pro, the "new" Bamboo) Pen-and-Touch, Small.
