Hey there!
I'm just a fairly normal guy with an interest in bipedal animals (and other more normal things...theme parks, skiing, movies, etc.). I'm not much of an artist, but I do write stories. I am also a fursuiter and currently portray two separate characters.
My main fursona is a bipedal blue and copper dragon named Ampere, who was created as a laboratory experiment and therefore is known as a hybrid dragon. Through unknown means, he was given the power to harness electricity, and is therefore able to bend it to his will. He is friendly and kind to all regardless of species, gender, orientation, etc., but will not hold back against those who threaten his friends. The Drachenveld stories, which are my primary project at the moment, are about him and the world in which he lives. In September 2019, Ampere was brought to life by TunnySaysIDK and is now appearing at events around Southern California and occasionally cons beyond.
I also have a secondary fursona, which is a fairly typical red fox named Ferrum. Canonically, he lives in the same world as Ampere, but the two didn't meet until later in life. Ferrum is more of a utility character, and will be used primarily for scenarios where Ampere doesn't fit for one reason or another. Ferrum exists in fursuit form through a self-built partial I created as an experiment prior to commissioning a suit of Ampere.
In real life, I've got a mechanical engineering degree, but I'm currently employed teaching math and science to high school students. No need to say more about that, as it won't come up here often.

This profile is rated PG-13. Mature artwork may appear in my gallery and favorites, but adult artwork will not.
I'm looking forward to getting more involved in this community, as it's been something I've kept mostly secret for years. However, now is the time to step away from that. Feel free to say hi...I'm generally shy, but very responsive when others start a conversation.

Not Abandoned, Just Dormant

Wow, it's been some time since I really did much with this page, and aside from the random new favorites every week or so it's looking covered in cobwebs. There are reasons for this, but the TLDR version is simply that the past 6-8 months have not gone as I had hoped. I do expect to resume a bit more activity here in the next month or two, but on the whole will probably be less active going forward in general. If that's good enough for you, feel free to stop here, but if you want more details, go ahead and read on.
Basically, I resigned from my previous job at the end of 2022, and for the past twelve months have been trying my hand at self employment by doing the same line of work independently. Unfortunately, that has not been as successful as I'd hoped. I am very good at what I do, so I am confident in the services I provide, but my skills at the business side of things (particularly with advertising and attracting clients) have proven unsatisfactory, and as such my financial reserves for fun stuff have been zero since September, hence the lack of new artwork. I do still have a couple Patreon pieces I've been meaning to post and will probably do so in the next few days, but until I get my income stabilized commissioning anything is off the table. Speaking of artwork and Patreon, I decided to fully withdraw from the site during the purge of babyfur artists a couple months ago and do not currently have any plans to join a different subscription platform, so in general I'll probably be posting artwork here less frequently as I don't commission it that often.
What about stories? I did honestly intend to write more this year and had intended for The Outing to start the next set of Ampere & Ferrum stories, but once again external factors influenced that. Back in August, stuff went down in my local furry community that left me feeling uninterested in engaging with the fandom, and as such I largely withdrew from my creative endeavors. That continued until BFC reinvigorated the interest, but I have just been so busy since then I've had no time to get anything meaningful done. Again, the work stuff needs to take priority, but once that finishes I do intend to start writing a monthly short story once again. I am also committing to getting the first part of Drachenveld edited and published in 2024, though when is still uncertain.
What else am I hoping to do in the fandom this year? I'd like to make good on my goal of getting out to more local events, which I was doing up until August. I'm also hoping to get to more cons as I was only able to manage one in 2023 (TFF) due to finances. My targets for this year are FWA (or AC if it fits my schedule better), BFC, and PAWCon, but as always it remains to be determined which I'll actually be able to hit.
In summary, this year definitely had its ups and downs and there are things I need to rectify before I can resume normal activity in the furry community, but it is something I've felt the absence of quite a bit in recent weeks. For me, the fandom is a hobby rather than a lifestyle, and as such involvement waxes and wanes as other things take priority. So rest assured even if I'm not very active here or on my other accounts I have not left, I'm just taking some time away to focus on other matters and will be back sooner or later.
