Fursona[edit]

TaniDaReal's fursona is a grey "schnolf" (wolf / snow leopard hybrid) with a black dorsal stripe. The schnolf replaced the former grey snow leopard version.

Fursuits and characters[edit]

Tani created and built four fursuits: Two of her characters, one old lioness form (2002) and new snow leopard (2004), one of her silver fox-wolf hybrid characters Savoy (2006), and one of her new characters Daiquiri, the Transilvanian Wild Dog, built together with Nightfox. She has also created another character, Michonne, a Belgian/German Shepherd mix who was based on the character from The Walking Dead of the same name.

  • Savoy - Savoy is a female silver fox-wolf hybrid character created and owned by TaniDaReal. The character was created in 2005. Since 2006 the character also appears as a fursuit. The old fursuit version made by herself (in 2006) was retired. Since 2012 she wears the new Savoy fursuit, created by OneFurAll.
  • Daiquiri - Daiquiri is a female Transilvanian Wild Dog (Lycaon pictus transilvanus), who is also a Vampire. The name derives from the Daiquiri cocktail, because of her sugar-like ear-tips[3]. The character was created by TaniDaReal in 2007/2008 and built as a fursuit by herself and Nightfox. The fursuit was presented first at Cologne Furdance Edition 2 in November 2008.
  • Michonne - Michonne is a female Belgian/German Shepherd mix based on the character from The Walking Dead of the same name.

Tani's art is well-commented on such sites as Fur Affinity and deviantART. She works with both traditional and digital media but also experimented with sculptures and plushie creations. She likes to draw a mix between toony and realistic art and has a fable for extraordinary fur markings and colors (including hybrid characters).

She also creates and produces furry items/merchandise with her art on it, like t-shirts, calendars or beer coasters.

  • The flippable Mood Badges, started in 2008
