Steve's fursona is a blue and black Tasmanian Devil with blonde hair and a blonde goatee. He also has cyan eyes, white chest hair, big feet, and, unlike most of Steve's characters, doesn't have pads on his hands.

Steve has 7 siblings but so far the only characters he has that he made fursonas for are his younger brother Dylan (also known as Gamma Ray and Gamma Ray II), who's a Rottwieler puppy and his younger sister Julie, who's a tiger, he's also made a fursona for his cousin Andrew (also known as Andrewthewolf), who's a wolf, and his best friend Leyland who's a Ferracox (Ferret, Raccoon, and Fox). Steve also has been known to love Punk music and has inserted multiple punk band references in his art (such as Sam wearing a Punk shirt or there being an American Idiot poster in his fursona's room). Steve's style is art style is similar to his friend Lewi's and author of his favorite web comic, Furthia High, QuetzaDrake.

Technique
Steve draws most of the line work for his art on Microsoft Paint, colors it with the texture tools and makes backgrounds on GIMP, and if he wants to smooths out the lines from Microsoft Paint and adds text and effects on Adobe Fireworks, sometimes though Steve scans pictures drawn on paper, colors them with the texture tools and creates backgrounds on GIMP, and smooths the lines out and adds text and effects with Adobe Fireworks. Steve on occasion makes animations, Steve either uses Adobe Flash or Adobe Fireworks to make them, Steve has just started using Flash so most of his animations are actually made on Fireworks, but he still uses both.

Steve used to do all the color on Microsoft Paint but as his art style evolved he started using more advanced programs, he started by using GIMP first, but only for making backgrounds and textured art, however as he started to crave more advanced art Steve started using GIMP to also color his pictures and create backgrounds, Steve also started to use Fireworks after he took a image manipulation class in school which used Fireworks for the program Steve picked up some pretty useful stuff from this so he started using Fireworks as well, he also noticed that Fireworks smooths out lines that are hard edge so he started using it to also smooth out the lines, Steve is starting to learn how to use Flash as well, however Steve still uses Microsoft Paint and GIMP as his main programs.

Steve's Main Characters


Along with Steve, there are other characters that play a huge role in Steve's story, however these characters often cause the problems that Steve needs to either solve, fix, or get them out of, each of them appear a lot in Steve's art.

Dylan Miller The Rottwieler Puppy:

Dylan is Steve's younger very supportive and very intelligent brother, Dylan has supported Steve through thick and thin, both of them revealed that they thought they were Bisexual (Dylan found out he wasn't Bi, just confused, so he is now Straight, and Steve fully accepted he was Gay) to the public as revenge against each other, after reviling that secret about the other person, both of them felt sorry that they did that to the other person, so they grew really close together. Dylan absolutely hates Andrew, but he's really close to both Steve, Leyland, and Jake. Dylan is very quick witted and very smart, however he is still not the most mature of Steve's main characters.

Dylan character is made of pure light, his character can dissolve his body into light particles, when he does this he can move anywhere as fast or faster than the speed of light, he can absorb light and use it's powers to shoot lasers, fire balls, and even if the energy reading is high enough can turn into a form called "supernova" in which his powers climb to extremely high levels, he glows extremely bright, and his hair (for some reason) turns blue when this happens, strangely his hair got stuck like this one time it unknown how but it did.

Dylan is 12 1/2 years old and lives in Michigan with his brother Steve and cousin Andrew.

Andrew Jensen The Grey Wolf:

Andrew is Steve's hot-headed, angry, and very skeptical cousin, Andrew is commonly known for getting suspended from school every other week, Andrew hates almost everything, Andrew was also known to have smoked and drank, however, he quit. Andrew has some anger issues but he and Steve still get along, Andrew and Dylan however hate each other, Andrew is okay with Leyland.

Andrew has been in a relationship with his girlfriend Stephine since early 2009, they haven't been having relationship problems, however Stephine hasn't appeared in current comics or submissions, "I haven't written Stephine out of the series, it's just that her character's kinda boring so she doesn't appear much anymore" Steve said, Andrew is a little mad at Steve for calling his girlfriend's character boring, but she didn't mind Steve saying that and since she didn't seem to mind it, Andrew let it go very easily.

Andrew is 18 years old and currently lives with Steve and Dylan in Michigan. Leyland Pearson The Ferracox:

Leyland is Steve's best friend, Steve often looks to Leyland for advice and moral support, Leyland has known Steve for 4 years. Leyland often at times is the most mature of Steve's five main characters. Leyland's character is the shortest of the four but even though he's short, he is very smart, mature, and understanding, Leyland often picks up Steve, Dylan, Mark (Jake), and Andrew when they're feeling down.

Leyland met Steve in a coffee shop, Steve was in a good mood and lent Leyland 25 cents to finish paying off his coffee, since he miscounted and didn't have enough, Leyland, being extremely grateful decided to enjoy his coffee with Steve, The two talked and became really good friends and through Steve, Leyland met Dylan, Mark (Jake), and Andrew, and Leyland has been a really nice addition to their gang they really enjoy his company. Leyland also discovered he has paint job skills with cars and even gave Andrew a brand new paint job on his car, which Andrew liked.

Leyland is 16, lives in Michigan, and is taking a class on mechanics and paint jobs at his high school. Jake Dillon the Mutt:

Jake Dillon is a Labrador, German Shepard mix, Jake is based off Steve's boyfriend, Mark Dillon. Steve used the name Jake for Mark's character because, Mark has always liked the name Jake and he prefers to be called that instead of his real name (but in Steve's journals, Steve commonly refers to Jake as Mark just because that's his friends know Jake/Mark as). Steve enjoys Mark's (Jake's) company though the two have only just started referring to each other as their boyfriend, they are really trying hard and are doing very well together so far, Steve still picks Mark up from basketball practice often, just like Steve does with Jake in his series.

Jake/Mark's character was introduced in late 2010, when Steve finally started dating a guy, Jake's character was casted as a mix of a Labrador and German Shepard because Mark (Jake's real name) owns a Labrador and German Shepard in real life. Jake's character was introduced right after Steve met Mark, at first he was only a supporting character because they where still just friends, later Steve started doing more things with Mark and they ended up in a relationship, so Jake then became a main character.

Mark A.K.A. Jake is 16, lives in Michigan, and is currently in a relationship with Steve.
