ShinAkira

2023-02-27T10:52:47Z

172.70.230.107:

{{cleanup}}
'''ShinAkira''' is a mixed-media [[artist]] who specializes in a mixture of manga and American art styles. He usually only uses traditional drawing methods rather than "new age" tools such as graphics tablets and [[wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]]. His [[fursona]] is a [[wikipedia:Cheetah#King_Cheetah|king cheetah]].

Shin enjoys [[role-playing]] with his friends online - usually as the character [[Eric Fox]] - by [[pounce|pouncing]] and otherwise fattening or inflating them.

Shin has many interests besides the furry fandom; he has a decent collection of animé from domestic to import as well as a collection of horror films like the [[wikipedia:Friday the 13th (franchise)|Friday the 13th series]], [[wikipedia:Scream trilogy|Scream]], and [[wikipedia:Night of the Living Dead|Night of the Living Dead]] series.

== Fursona ==
Shin, in addition to his primary fursona, has a character called Eric who changes species often and tends to take on the name of that species (for example, EricFox, EricCheetah, etc.)

Other characters include:
*'''Taru Coyote:''' A slacker druggie [[coyote]] who's a ex-pro skater;
*'''Shin FoxRoo:''' Shin's old "formal" fursona, he is a fox/[[kangaroo]] [[hybrid]] with various bionic limbs;
*'''Akira Rat:''' A [[Rat (species)|rat]] character;
*'''Eric Fox:''' A unusual fox from a different dimension who can expand to infinite sizes;
*'''Erik Kitsune:''' A 10 tailed overlord [[Kitsune (mythology)|kitsune]];
*'''Erick Roo:''' A gluttonous semi-albino kangaroo with a black patch over his left eye;
*'''TigerFox:''' A [[tiger]]/fox hybrid with super powers such as invulnerability and super strength.
*'''Scooby Otter:''' A Otter who subosivly is a twin brother to [[Eric Fox]]

=== Eric Fox ===

'''Eric Fox Vulper''' is a male orange [[fox]] character belonging to [[ShinAkira]] and is by far the most popular of his characters. He was created around 1997 as Shin's [[fursona]], but later became one of his characters.

==== Appearance ====
Eric is orange with purple on his fingers, toes and ears; he also has a tiger stripe on each of his cheeks. His eyes are gold coloured and slanted. He appears to be in his mid- to late-teens however is actually much older.

==== Character ====
Eric runs a book shop that sells not only books but [[anime]] and magical supplies too. Magic is a common problem for him, as it results in him constantly being [[transformation|transformed]] into a variety of different animals. He has a tendency to overeat or spontaneously gain weight due to an unexplained illness known as "bloatias", which can lead to him [[fatfur|gaining]] over 20 tons in weight. In addition to this, certain foods cause Eric to [[inflation|inflate]].

===== Wonka incident =====
At some point in the character history Eric was gorging on [[wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]] candy, during which he accidentally swallowed some [[wikipedia:Charlie and the Chocolate Factory|Wonka brand chewing gum]]. He bloated up into a large round blueberry, was promptly juiced and left a solid purple colour from head to foot - including his eyes. During this time he was occasionally referred to as '''Eric PurpleFox'''.

The character was later returned to normal but still purple in the story ''Eric's Vigilant Bloat'', written by [[RobCat]]. It wasn't until his fur fell out and he regrew his old orange fur, along with some pattern changes and new golden eyes that Eric was completely returned to normal.

== Artwork ==
Shin's artwork consists mostly of [[fatfurs|fat]] and [[inflation|inflated]] furs; as well as [[transformation]]. However his [[wikipedia:colour-blindness|colour-blindness]] prevents him from colouring his images.

Some people have criticized him for almost exclusively drawing male characters in his artwork. These criticisms have been ignored and, although acknowledging that his artwork is not the best around, Shin chooses to keep trying and improving.

His influences include cartoons from the 1960's to mid 90's and his friends, who help him with his artwork.

==deviantART hacker incident==
In December 2007, ShinAkira's [[deviantART]] account - along with many others - was hacked and vandalised, resulting in it being banned. Shin stated that this unaffected him, due to his planning to leave the site anyway due to changes to their Terms of Service.

[[File:Zaros Fullbody.jpeg|thumbnail|Zaros' Tweet from February 22, 2019]]
'''Zaros''' (born on March 31st) is a fursuiter, [[YouTuber]], photographer, artist, content creator, and student, who lives in Minnesota. He became a furry on June 4th, 2017. Zaros goes by the aliases: '''FluffyZaros''' and '''ZarosTheFurry'''. Zaros is currently working towards his Computer Science and Mathematics majors, as well as his minor in Spanish. He will be attending the UMD in late August of 2019. He is currently a [[Twitter]] content creator. However, on September 27th, 2018, he created a new Twitter account.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ZarosTheFurry Zaros' Twitter Page]. Retrieved September 29, 2018.</ref> (as of September 2018). He also runs a [[YouTube]] channel.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbHbMhuUYlvCR6NRo10HQ_Q Zaros' YouTube Page]. Retrieved June 26, 2019.</ref> (as of June 2019).

== Fursona and Suits ==

Zaros' [[fursona]] is a [[wolf]] with light blue and white as his main fursona colors. His ears are light blue with a white outline, as well as a darker blue inner-ear fur color. His muzzle has two small blue triangles, partially resembling a fox, as well as whiskers. His eyes are dark blue. Between the blue and white fur colors on the arms and legs, there is a very light blue color that separates the two. His paws and feet are white, with blue fingers and toes. His tail is light blue on top and white on the bottom. He is 5'6" (167.64 cm) and weighs 120-130 pounds.

His fursuit is made by [[Lemonbrat]] and was completed on December 7th, 2018, where more edits were made later. Shortly after that, his two Latex Catfish suits were created, where one is inflatable and one isn't. Both have the same designs. After that, Zaros purchased a digitigrade bodysuit of his fursona, which is expected to be done after [[Midwest Furfest]] of 2019. Then, he bought a blueberry inflation suit and an inflatable latex suit of Zaros from Squeak Latex.

Zaros is planning to fursuit for all, if not most, of his YouTube videos.

== Twitter ==

Zaros' created his Twitter account in June 2017 when he first joined the fandom, which was his first social media platform for his [[fursona]]. Zaros rarely used his account until February 2018, where he briefly posted a little about his personal life outside of the fandom. A couple of months later, Zaros gained a small audience and kept growing as he made daily posts about fursuit updates, life stories, and artwork. His first post that gained an audience of inflation furries was on 'April 5th, 2018, where he posted a comic by Hornbuckle, and gained over 200 likes on his [https://twitter.com/FluffyZaros/status/981970807864819713 tweet]. On August 7th, 2018, Zaros reached his 1,000 follower milestone. On September 27th, 2018, Zaros made his final tweet on his Twitter account and stopped posting tweets for one week. He came back on a new account, announcing that his account was locked out permanently, due to a phone number verification lockout.

Zaros started his new Twitter account on October 4th, 2018, where he made his announcement on what happened to his other account. His Twitter continued normally from there.

== YouTube ==

Zaros reached his 10,000 subscriber milestone in April of 2020. His YouTube content consists of discussions, unboxings, and fursuit videos. His YouTube channel sparks a lot of attention from his skit videos, where he films them with Xandiel Fox. At the moment, Zaros films and edits all of his videos by himself, and has only partnered with Xandiel Fox for his videos. His YouTube artwork is created by RosePuppies. In June 3, 2021, he reached 20,000 subscribers.

On '''September 3, 2021''', his YouTube channel was terminated due to a blueberry inflation skit he uploaded on April 12, 2021 titled "Zaros' Embarrassing Blueberry Transformation". The video was '''flagged for violating YouTube's sexual and nudity policy'''. It was revealed that Zaros' channel was falsely terminated because someone had purposely false flagged his video to get him terminated from YouTube. To get his YouTube channel back, he had to file more than 45 appeals to YouTube Creator Support via email. On November 24, 2021, Zaros' channel was lifted from termination. However, his blueberry transformation skit remained deleted by YouTube. From there on, he put warnings in the description of his videos that involve inflation.

On January 16, 2022, Zaros uploaded a video of his fursuit with an inflatable belly by Lemonbrat. The video was later '''aged-restricted''' by YouTube due to it being '''falsely flagged''' by someone else.

On March 1, 2022, Zaros achieved 25,000 subscribers. Unfortunately, on March 9, 2022, his channel was terminated for the second time for the same reason: '''violating sexual and nudity policy'''. On '''May 28 2022''', Zaros had announced on his Twitter account he will no longer return to YouTube as it remained terminated. Zaros explained in his tweet that '''NanTheKiwiUwU''' was responsible for his videos getting aged-restricted and his channel's termination. He has also linked a Google Doc file of a script that was meant to be for his YouTube video to explain why he was falsely terminated on YouTube. He will continue to uploading more content on '''Twitter''' and Tiktok.

== Hobbies ==

Zaros started to do photography and videography after he bought his camera. He started with photography first, which then changed into videography in December 2018, where he filmed his fursuit unboxing. The second video after that was an unboxing of his latex suit. He continued to unbox suits and started doing skits, suit up videos, and story videos. He enjoys doing skits as a hobby and likes to edit them and turn them into videos on YouTube. He plans on continuing his skit videos in summer of 2020.

== Personal Life ==

Zaros lives in Minnesota with his household family and one dog. Zaros plays PC games but never posts on social media about the games that he plays. However, he had a [[Steam]]<ref>[https://steamcommunity.com/id/zaros206 Zaros' Steam Profile]. Retrieved September 29, 2018.</ref> link on his Twitter account, which was later replaced with his [[YouTube]] channel. He does not watch furry YouTubers.

He mainly focuses on classwork, and does not often appear visible on Steam during the school year. However, he keeps creating content on his Twitter and YouTube accounts during the academic year.
