Kannos (previously Starfinder and Astray) is an anthro artist who lives in Southern California, U.S.A. She creates very detailed images, usually digital. Her Inkbunny profile includes "Fursona Species: Wolf-Dog (Kannos), Coyote/Wolf (Star)" as of 2012. She listed her species as "Wolf-hybrid" on Fur Affinity; previously she represented herself as a CoyWolf.

Kannos is also a photographer specializing in portraits and the occasional nature shot.

Kannos was slated to be a guest of honor for FurFest Northwest in 2006 before that event's cancellation.

Art scams
Kannos (as Starfinder) was accused of taking money for commissions, conbadges, and sketches, and failing to deliver the final product. She was also accused of "losing" artwork and generally breaching contract,   which let critics to circulated an online petition to ban her from selling artwork at Further Confusion 2006 due to her poor track record; this garnered 90 signatures.

Kannos asserted in 2007 that her recent track record with commissions had been good, with several satisfied customers and work completed on or before a deadline. Recent commissions she was unable to finish have been refunded in full. In January 2007, she said that she was "working to resolve everything with everyone", and requested that anyone who had not received their commission promptly contact her and give a description of the unreceived piece so that she may complete it. However, 2 months after her statement, customer complaints resumed.

Artists Beware
Posts about Kannos/Starfinder on artists_beware have been made from 2003 through to 2011 by various posters. As of March 2011, there were 17 posts in that community tagged "artist-starfinder/-star-/astray/kannos". Of these, three posts are tagged "resolved".

In June 2010, a poster to artists_beware stated: "I've also been speaking with her over notes/IMs for a while about the other issues that have been brought up by other people, and she requested that I let everybody know that if you have an outstanding commission with her, that you should politely (emphasis here) send her a note on FA regarding said commission."

Art style swipes
Kannos has also been accused of copying other artists' poses and styles, and of tracing photographic models.

FurAffinity ban
In April 2011, kayla_la posted to Artists Beware Dragoneer mentioned in a comment that "when she was brought back initially an admin was assigned to work with her, and people were getting art, getting feedback and from our perspective things were going okay."

On May 8, kayla_la posted an update stating "Dragoneer has informed me that he is giving her until the 13th, next Friday, to make good progress or she will be banned."

Kannos was indefinitely banned from Fur Affinity on August 29, 2008 due to "repeated non-compliance with the rules regarding providing credit to very closely referenced sources and lack of communication regarding this matter." On January 27, 2009 an account -Star- was registered and contained artwork previously published under the name Starfinder; the account was later suspended

On the day of her suspension, she posted a journal claiming that the further delay was a result of unexpected vet bills and began to solicit further donations to help pay them. This journal entry and all other contact information regarding commissions or payments were no longer visible on Fur Affinity by the following day.

Dragoneer commented on May 15, 2011:

Inkbunny ban
On May 19th, Kannos posted to her Inkbunny account that she will be "uploading work to this account again, starting with backlog stuff." Two days later, her journal post stated "I'm staggering it right now where I post a few backlogs, then take an equal or lesser amount of commissions, then more backlogs. That way it is fair. People get their art and I still can afford to eat and live. "

In August 2012 she posted:
