Our mere existence is enough reason to carry on. Never let others steal your lust for life. Life is all you have and it is all you will get. Cling to it until the universe says it's time to let go. Then rest, only then have you earned it.

Started of as an IMVU picture then changed to pictures I paid others to draw/received as gifts. I draw pictures of my fursona too, but never use them as avatars because I don't think they're good enough for it yet.

I usually draw my own. Once in a while I'll use an image that someone else drew for me.

Generally I draw my own, but this one is an experiment of something cool I did with a doll maker. Jovi's evil dragon/horse twin-thing, or something. If you keep an eye open you might be able to get some free art done, and if not there's always icon deals going about on FurAffinity.

I am closed for commissions. See my furaffinity for pricing.


I’m taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

Wanna find me in other places?

Well, at first I had my fursona but no avatar. Spent three years without an avatar, then one day I asked a very good friend of mine to draw it.

Paid him a bit for his work, and that was all.

If you really want an avatar you'll find a way, the most important thing is to have a clear vision of your fursona  ^_^
