Farore Nightclaw

Farore Nightclaw (born 1986) is a polyamorous, asexual, panromantic agender artist specializing in fantasy, science fiction, and furry art who first started posting art online in 2004, but has been involved in the fandom since about 2002. Farore's pronouns are it, its, and itself or he, him, his, and himself. Its polycule is composed of itself, its long-distance partner Hale, its wife CassioBunny, and its metamour, CassioBunny's wife, P01D (who currently resides in the UK). CassioBunny and Farore live together in the furry household Strangehouse in San Jose, California, though Farore is Canadian by birth. Artistically, as well working on commissions, original artwork for prints or art show sales, and graphics for various pet sims, Farore likes creating resources for other furry artists and experimenting with different art styles. It also often works to create resources and support for the fandom in non-artistic ways, such as writing life advice columns, organizing and/or providing art for charity auctions and projects, and sharing information and resources related to BDSM, abuse survival, and mental health (among other things).

Farore typically represents itself online and at conventions as 'FaroreNightclaw' (without the space), 'OMG, Farore!', or 'The Art of FaroreNightclaw'.
