About The Artist
I'm C.J. or you can call me by my art name Nya18 or by my various fursona names. I am Black/Native American born in Maryland, USA but currently reside in Oregon, USA. I am NonBinary/Transmasculine and use They/He pronouns.
I've been part of the furry fandom since 2007, but specifically started doing furry art in 2010. I have been drawing since the early 2000's and have taken courses on art & animation history & theory. I plan on taking more art and animation classes in the future to sharpen and improve my skills as an artist. I do art full time and love it. I love learning about other people's characters and drawing them doing a variety of things. Paying close attention to detail and getting the best result is what I strive for with my artwork. I absolutely love creating artwork for others. My artwork is primarily inspired by Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, and Aaron Blaise. I also take some inspirations from my own dreams, music, video games, movies, tv shows, and animated films/shows. Other hobbies include being a Lion King, Scooby Doo, and Garfield superfan, being a big Godzilla fan, being a big Disney and Cartoon fan, a fan of most types of Music, Video Games, Books, and Plants. I also love learning about different philosophers, astronomy, and cultures. |
