==Art==<br />
<br />
Soda has contributed to the fandom as an artist and [[MUD]] coder under various pseudonyms since the late nineties including Miles Feral (an otter<ref>[http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/MilesFeral/ "Miles Feral"] defunct VCL for Miles Feral</ref>) on VLC, and Yves-Alphonse (a blue lemur<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/yves-alphonse "Yves-Alphonse"] - defunct FA for Yves-Alphonse</ref>), but only began taking commissions as an artist after he created a FurAffinity account as Paolo in 2008. He attributes his initial interest in the fandom to the art of [[Fel]], [[Greenmonkey]], and [[Fennec_(artist)|Fennec]],<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6901864/ "Influence Meme"] - posting by Soda, on his FA gallery. Retrieved December 5, 2011</ref> as well as furry-themed [[MUD]]s. He accredits his own artistic style to inspiration from [[Wikipedia:Manga_iconography|Japanese comic books]], primarily the genre "[[Wikipedia:Shotacon|shotacon]],"{{fact}}. So far, Soda's works have been largely [[homosexual|homoerotic]] in nature.<br />
<br />
==Fandom Involvement==<br />
<br />
Soda has expressed interest in creating an online furry art circle and even did so briefly with fellow furry artists [[Narffet]], [[INoby]], [[Keglunek]], and coder [[BearPatrol]] under the domain name EatGlitter.com in 2009. However, a lack of free time kept him from maintaining the webspace, and the project was postponed indefinitely. Even so, Paolo has since said that he "would still very much like to build a web space in the spirit of Verrocchio's workshop or Cormon's studio where a few like-minded furry artists could gather, collaborate, and address their fans in a familiar and entertaining way for free or otherwise. The experience would be very much fan-driven."{{fact}}<br />
