Artwork
Kierin joined Fur Affinity on May 17, 2008 under the alias Ryukaza, but later moved his page to KierinHyena on April 23, 2009. His stated influences and inspiration come from other babyfur and diaperfur artists such as OzzyFox, Fangkit, babylevithan, Padfoot_Sqaurepants, CrackaJackin, and Forg0ttenSouL.

Storywriting
Kierin began roleplaying in Digimon fan forums, but was often k-lined due to bad grammar and writing skills. In mid 2008 he wrote two dragon yiff stories; and posted them to Yiffstar, but later removed them in 2009 because of his un-satisfication with them due to his harsh improvement in writing.

In 2009 he wrote his diaperfur themed short story titled A New Life which showed much improvement in his writing abilities and garnered positive critique and comments from friends, as well as fans. He is currently debating the finish and release of a second chapter, and has since then released a much shorter lighthearted babyfur story that takes place in a daycare setting, stating it may become a series of short stories that will follow a Rugratz babyfur themed style.

His stated influence is Stephen King, he said that he improved his style of writing by analyzing King's own style and execution while he was on his King binge in 2009.

Trivia
Aside from drawing and writing, Kierin is also very fond of playing guitar, listening to music, skateboarding, watching anime, reading books and manga, chatting and roleplaying on Instant messaging, surfing the web, playing video games, watching movies (mostly Horror, Asian Horror to be precise), filming, ghost hunting and the paranormal, UFOs, numerology, and conspiracy theories.
