CanineHybrid

CanineHybrid is the online username of Riley Michelle Carbaugh (born 1990), a native of Colorado, USA. She is an artist who has received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media Arts and Animation from the Art Institute of Colorado. Riley is primarily a digital illustrator and fursuiter/maker represented as either a shapeshifting dragon or as a "canine-hybrid" character, a German Shepherd crossed with a dinosaur.

Riley regularly attended Rocky Mountain Fur Con (RMFC) and make appearances at most Colorado-based conventions. She first started creating fursuit costumes in 2006 and offers tutorials, progress photos, and advice for beginning fursuit construction on her YouTube channel. Her series of Pokemon creature costumes, including Charizard, Aerodactyl, Leafeon, Shadow Lugia, and Groudon (2007-2011), have competed for awards at various anime conventions.

CanineHybrid Creations
Riley formally operated as CanineHybrid Creations, which was officially adapted in August 2007 and state registered as a trade name in 2010. The business specialized in a variety of creative services: including design, character artwork, creature costumes, & animation, often hybridizing these artforms together to create unique projects. An online webstore offered a variety of molded and cast products intended for incorporating into the construction of creature suits. CanineHybrid Creations had obtained dealer's room space at RMFC each year from 2010-2015.

Original Characters
Riley has created several characters that are commonly associated with her work or identity and often have their own social media accounts and followings. The most notable are:
 * "Riley" a female German Shepherd Dinosaur, sometimes also seen as a normal G-Shep, who serves as a fursona. Known for being a half-finished fursuit, debuted in its work-in-progress foam state at conventions and acts as a visual aid for her costume construction panels.
 * "Tusaris" a female, shapeshifting, western dragon who has a human form (also named Riley and resembles the real life artist) and serves as a fursona.
 * "Skade" aka "Toast" a female were-raptor, who is known for her odd ability to transform into a raptor dinosaur by eating toast and habit of leaving her socks on during the metamorphosis.
 * "Topaz" a female gryphon, a hybrid of an aplomado falcon and an amur tiger. A realistic fursuit has been created of this character.
 * "Theod" a male Ruasonid, an original alien species that resembles an anthropomorphic raptor dinosaur; best known as the test subject for a pair of digitigrade stilts, created for testing applications in a future fursuit, and is also featured in the current logo for Mythimorph.
 * "Sonar" a genderless Dutch Angel Dragon based on a magpie, who is most recognized as an admin and webmaster for the species' community websites. A toony fursuit has been created of this character.
