The Galaxy Wolf

I'm Zikaur Dikura and represent myself to the world via my "fursona", a wolf living in the distant future who has modified herself in quite a few ways. She lives in a universe built over many years of writing stories and creating characters.

I'm an anthro artist who is always open for new challenges. Over the past 4 years I've tried to make my art my career and have taken on loads of fun commissions. My skills have increased greatly during those years, though I know I can do much, much better!
I visit two conventions per year -Confuzzled and Scotiacon- and always try and nab a spot in the Dealer's Den. Though I do hope to expand the number of conventions I visit every time. So if you ever visit either of those cons, feel free to look me up in the Den and have a bit of a chat. I love making new friends and talking to all sorts of people. I might be busy at the Den, but will always arrange some time to sit down and just chug down a few drinks and get to know each other.



This Patreon is meant for loads of "behind the scenes" content of my work, so those who want to learn from my process and art can get a first-hand look at my work. I offer doodles, sketches, full fledged work and the raw files (photoshop or sai paint tool files) of the art. Next to that I upload Speedaint videos to my Youtube channel for everyone to see. Subscribe there for the videos, though you can also watch them here. And finally, I'm offering monthly tutorial streams where you can join in, offer a subject for me to teach you and then even re-watch the videos as many times as you want after the stream has ended.

Next to catering to the growing artists and those wanting to learn, I want to offer something for those that just love my art and want to see more!
For you lovely folk, the ones who make all this possible, I offer various options for commissioning me through Patreon. As little as 1 Dollar a month already lands you a spot in the monthly raffle. For 5 Dollars a month you'll get a special little sketch sent to you on a monthly basis of your character(s). And after that there are many different ways to get lovely personal art from me, pretty much all of it with the option to have it printed and sent to you.

And because I need to keep myself happy, I'll be doing a monthly stream where I simply sit down and draw whatever I feel like. I need to start drawing more personal art anyway, so this will be a nice little practice to get back into drawing for myself. I will be updating my twitter (@ZikaurDikura) and my FurAffinity when it's time for the stream. I'll also send out a message here to make sure everyone sees it. However, if you feel like this still isn't enough warning, then you can always follow my Picarto (the stream site I use) and you'll be sent an automated email when I go live. This way, you'll always be prepared!

I want to use the support here to work more on big scenes, character creation, build a web comic and hopefully even work on animations. My personal passion and obsession lies with science fiction, so almost all my personal art will be related to that theme. Overall, I want to grow as an artist and expand my skills. 

Finally I want to make art my sole career and occupation. I'd like to be able to expand into the field of fursuit building and clay-sculpture-making. Though I know that I will always come back to digital and traditional art.
