== Fandom involvement ==

Dracofoxy's [[fursona]] is a brown and tan [[folf]] ([[fox]]/[[wolf]] [[hybrid]]) with red [[hair]], golden eyes and two gold earrings. He also writes short stores about himself as a "hemming", his self-created [[species]]. <ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/331031/ The Hemming Species](March 19th, 2008 FA) </ref> <ref>[http://shadowconner.deviantart.com/journal/17415464/#comments The Hemming Species](March 19th, 2008 DA)</ref> <ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/746162/ What Is A Hemming?](DjblazingFire May 18, 2009) </ref>

=== FNN Interview ===

On September 7 Dracofoxy was interviewed on [[Furry News Network]] <ref>[http://www.furrynewsnetwork.com/2011/09/interview-shadow-conner-2 Interview with Shadowconner]</ref> showing his opinion on the furry fandom which eventually lead to a comment made by [http://www.furrynewsnetwork.com/2011/09/interview-shadow-conner-2/#comment-304634357 Fayroe.] this news interview eventually led to a discussion on [[FurCast]]. <ref>[http://furcast.xanacreations.com/archive/fc-52 FurCast Ep 52]</ref> <ref>[http://shadowconner.deviantart.com/journal/40511775/ Article most likely based on the FNN interview]</ref>

== Controversy ==
=== Fur Affinity bans ===

Dracofoxy has had a record history of being [[W:Ban (law)|banned]] from [[Fur Affinity]] multiple times, as well as attempts to evade his ban. Examples of these said accounts include [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/connerhemming/ ConnerHemming], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/Shadowconner/ Shadowconner], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/cobaltlecreed Cobaltlecreed], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/connerhemming16/ Connerhemming16], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/connerlupindo/ ConnerLupindo], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/kumoriconner/ Kumoriconner], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/macrofurry/ Macrofurry], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/canidane Canidane], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/BlacierReiwinn/ BlacierReiwinn] <ref> [http://www.flickr.com/photos/connerhemming/3987465079/in/set-72157622530760644 Blacier Rewinn Second Life]</ref> <ref>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/connerhemming/3993587686/in/photostream Blacier Reiwinn by Jake Lioner ]</ref> [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/farrahavon/ Farrahavon], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/djblazingfire/ DJBlazingFire], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/thelastwerewolf/ TheLastWerewolf], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tinythefolf/ TinytheFolf], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/iconner/ iconner], [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/officialcvm officialcvm] Also an account being the mate of Dracofoxy. [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/shaylaayame ShaylaAyame] also known as [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ayamehemming/ AyameHemming]

He claims he was banned by [[Dragoneer]] for adding art to his favorites' page.<ref>[http://comments.deviantart.com/4/6506415/1489580979 Banned for faving art](May 17, 2010 Deviantart) </ref> However, many of his bans were for harassment, stalking and threats to other users on the site. <ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1074007/ Journal about Macrofurry 1] (November 28, 2009) </ref> <ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1272901/ Journal about Macrofurry 2](March 15th, 2010) </ref> <ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1678203/ Journal about Shadowconner] (September 1, 2010) </ref> It has also been known{{fact}} that he antagonizes artists such as [[PawstheFox]].<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/pawsthefox/ PawstheFox] with such journals as [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1332847/ Second Day of being a furry] [http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/1335513/ Foxes are Monsters] [http://www.flickr.com/photos/connerhemming/4558892820/in/photostream New character]</ref>

Recently{{when}} he was suspended again for evasion on two accounts; one of those said accounts was [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/eamane Eamane] the new [[mate]] of Dracofoxy <ref>[http://eamane-fanclub.deviantart.com/ Eamane-Fanclub]</ref> Which led to this reply on [[Dragoneer]]'s [[deviantART]] page.[http://comments.deviantart.com/4/2409682/1993614295 Conner Remark]
On May 12 he created the "Eamane" account on the [[Fur Affinity Forums]] to post a thread about the Innuendo Region Minecraft Server. <ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/99398-Insuedo-Region-Minecraft-Server FA Thread on the Insuendo Region Minecraft Server](Posted on 5-16-11 on the FA Forums)</ref> It did not take long for someone on the forums{{who}} to discover they were the same person, prompting a swift ban from the Fur Affinity Forums.<ref>[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/99802-Rant-Rave-my-ex-came-back?p=2548775&viewfull=1#post2548775 Post on FA Forums]</ref>

=== The Deadly Wolves and copyright infringement ===

Dracofoxy also uses '''The Deadly Wolves''', previously known as ''Deadly Wolves Pack''<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XpWbfLPAHU Deadly Wolves Pack] (KaneTheShadowWolf Youtube Account)</ref><ref>*[http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/66248-The-Deadly-Wolves-All-Our-Life?highlight=Shadowconner ShadowConner Promoting his Band]</ref>. The band members, which were made up by Zach, were Dracofoxy himself, Fera Hemming, Waya Hemming, Kane Smith, and Ayame Hemming. However, this has been known to be false, considering many claims that he represents others' work as his own without giving credit.{{fact}} A few incidents of this included taking other artists artwork to using as covers or promotional material to promote his band.<ref>[http://shadowconner.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d2nmybs Band Cover of TDW Don't Look Down]</ref><ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3701569 The Music of Don't Look Down]</ref> The actual artwork of the cover is [http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3701569/ Rough Beauty by Fluke]. As well as ripping off songs from other music artists.{{fact}} An incident of this ended up having said songs being taken down as said on The Deadly Wolves band Fur Affinity page.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/944394/ Songs Taken Down] (September 3, 2009) Deadly Wolves Band</ref> Another relation to this would be [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/TheHemmings/ TheHemmings] an account which was created to be a similar band to The Deadly Wolves.<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/482893/ The Hemmings Song Request]</ref>

On April 2011, two [[Second Life]] videos that were posted on YouTube called “Sit Close”<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT9l3ev0dn0= Sit Close]</ref>, and “Whatever works for you”.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_fp9c-sTN4&feature=related= Whatever works for you]</ref> from his band The Deadly Wolves on his main YouTube account Conner Hemming. Eventually it was discovered quickly from several YouTube users that the lyrics were actually two stolen tracks called “Consider This”, and “Sounds of a crowded room from the album Say Hello by the band Born without Bones.<ref>[http://bornwithoutbones.bandcamp.com Born without Bones Bandcamp Page]</ref> This led to his main YouTube account, as well as one of his alt account, [[Macrofurry]] being terminated from multiple third-party notifications including one from GiantessKatelyn.com. On April 4, 2011, a DA journal was posted by Dracofoxy himself, explaining it as a YouTube glitch.<ref>[http://shadowconner.deviantart.com/journal/39620287/ Youtube Glitch?]</ref> On April 5, he posted another journal claiming his YouTube page was locked for 24 hours. <ref>[http://shadowconner.deviantart.com/journal/39630391/ Youtube Locked for 24 hours]</ref> On April 25 he posted a journal entitled Macrofurry Returns <ref>[http://shadowconner.deviantart.com/journal/40106632/ Macrofurry Returns]</ref> showing that his Macrofurry account may be restored but so far the account name is still terminated.

Also factual is many accounts mentioning, or associating The Deadly Wolves which would include [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ConnerFirehawk/ ConnerFirehawk], and [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/shadowconner/ Shadowconner]. But sockpuppets he made of his band members. [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ferahemming/ FeraHemming],[http://www.furaffinity.net/user/WayaHemming/ WayaHemming], and [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/KaneSmith/ KaneSmith] which were also banned. Other accounts that supported the band would be [http://www.furaffinity.net/user/jerboaman/ Jeboaman] <ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/793424/ The Deadly Wolves: Song Requests](June 21st, 2009)</ref>

=== Artists Beware ===

On January 26, 2013, a posting was made on the {{lj-comm|artists-beware}} community on [[LiveJournal]], stating that Dracofoxy (as Chronic Megedagik) had accepted money for an artwork commission. He then allegedly reneged on the deal, saying "it was canceled because you keep pestering me i told you my health comes first don't even try getting a refund, I closed my paypal long ago".<ref name="ArtistsBeware"/>
