[edit] Fursona
His fursona is an anthropomorphic fox with blue fur rather than the standard orange. It is unsure what specific class of fox his fursona is, but others believe it to be the arctic fox due to Azura's love of colder weather. He created his fursona to reflect his personality, and feels that the color blue is perfect for his fursona because, according to him, "it goes well with any other color." However, his fursona does not have a surname and he does not intend to give it one.
[edit] Evolving as an artist
Around December of 2004, Azura had developed a strong interest in writing fictional stories. His style was heavily influenced by RPG-style videogames produced by the Square Enix company, mostly by the popular series known as Final Fantasy. After he had created a story which he wanted to develop further, an inner desire to illustrate his characters emerged, and he decided he would learn how to draw. It took Azura a total of four years to develop his artistic technique, which he is still trying to develop further. He realized that most of the characters he was drawing were anthropomorphic, but he didn't know the term for it at the time, nor did he come to discover the Furry Fandom until September 2008. He decided to become a member of two art communities, DeviantArt and FurAffinity, to share his passion for art with other people.
[edit] Participation in the YouTube community
Azura came up with the name for his fursona on the spot, simply replacing the letter 'e' with the letter 'a' at the end of the word 'azure,' meaning "blue." One day he wondered if, in fact, that name did actually exist and wasn't just an improvisation. He decided to search for the name at YouTube to satisfy his curiosity, and came across the YouTube channel of AzureBlade49, also referred to as Azura. Both impressed and entertained by AzureBlade's videos, Azura was eager to give back to AzureBlade for his contribution to entertainment and wanted him to feel appreciated. Azura started to create drawings of AzureBlade's anime-style persona, as well as the personas of his group of friends, known as the BS Battlers. Not only did it allow Azura to express his appreciation for AzureBlade, but it also allowed him to become better at drawing human characters. He later befriended an up-and-coming team of Let's Play-ers known as Aledog and Daikrai, also known as Team Alemaxhaxs, and has provided them with avatars of their own and background art for their channel.
Azura's channel has mostly been dedicated to what he refers to as "epic randomness," or random videos made with the intention of evoking laughter from viewers. His current projects include an abridged Spider-Man film and an animated Power Rangers spoof series called "Go, Go, LP Rangers!" starring AzureBlade and the BS Battlers, which features MapleStory sprite versions of the characters.
[edit] In and out of the Furry Fandom
Azura registered for FurAffinity shortly after becoming a furry, and has been submitting his anthropomorphic art there ever since. However, he soon discovered the problems that he knew he had to face as a furry. He did not realize at first that the fandom was full of anthropomorphic pornography (commonly called yiff art) and that many people were under the impression that every furry in the fandom was addicted to it as well as to bestiality. He has dealt with many furry haters and YouTube trolls, and has since been searching for a way to both end the furry stereotype and help the yiff-addicted furries to try something different with their artistic talents. He has always wanted the Furry Fandom to be something clean and family friendly, and he hopes that it can one day be recognized as such.
Azura began to distance himself from the fandom in the early months of 2010, trying to establish himself as his own furry artist rather than linger amongst recent tension and drama. Despite this, he continues to keep in touch with other furries of the fandom.
