Artwork
Auryanne's artwork, which has been online since 1995, can be found in publications such as Huzzah, as well as online galleries including Yerf and her personal web gallery. Her production of fanart has slowed considerably since becoming employed full-time in 2002 as a staff artist for a popular virtual pet website. Currently, she maintains a daily webcomic, A Fierce Bad Rabbit.

The dragon
Auryanne is a young dragon of mixed heritage, combining features of both Western and Oriental dragons. Her coloration is a warm golden yellow, with a fire-colored mane that runs the length of her back, with broad brown leathery wings. In the tradition of her Oriental kin, she is aligned with a natural element: the sun.
