the art and the artist 🌿

the artist & characters

HE / THEY ◦ CANADIAN ◦ MULTIFANDOM ARTIST 🪴

Hallo hallo, I am Tobias! I am a full-time digital artist that draws animal people. I create art simply for the love of the game. I'm grateful to have a professional career, but the monetization factor has always come secondary to the joy of being able to breathe life into a character or scene. I draw because I want to draw. I monetize it because I'm old and have taxes to pay.Nowadays if I'm not drawing I'm spending my time lore building, writing slow-burn fanfiction, and collecting trading cards. I enjoy TCGs for - you guessed it - the art. I am obsessed with the band Bastille and use their lyrics as titles for a lot of my work.

Some people only have one fursona. I have multiple, each one getting their own unique title-moniker that could suit as chapter titles in the autobiography I'll never write. Each character is their own realized individual, but it'd be impossible for me to make a fursona and not sprinkle a little bit of myself into them in one way, shape or form.My "main sona" bounces between Sebastian and Monochromius, with Arthenos, Euillcys, Loke and Octis being fursonas, broadly defined. Adontis is my mascot, with their face being my logo. Each of my characters has their own lore, with most having a lot of universe overlap.

I've been slow to work on my characters, having little time for the last five years to meaningfully dedicate to expanding their stories and lore. As of late 2026 I decided I want to change that, and so I'm starting to work on them a bit more. You can read a little more about each character on their pages below. I'm still working on these so they might be a bit rough around the edges:

• ADONTIS
• ARTHENOS
• EUILLCYS
• LOKE
• MONOCHROMIUS
• OCTIS
• SEBASTIAN

I was born a small old man and have been neck deep in art the entire time. My beginnings started out with DeviantART and Neopets, branching out later to Tumblr and then across a multitude of platforms. I embarked into freelancing full-time around 2020. My original fursona back in the day was Zephyrave and while I don't use him much anymore, he was with me for such a significant part of my younger years I hold him near and dear still to this day.

A lot of my worldbuilding and lore is written behind-the-scenes, but I do write a little bit about my characters on sites such as Toyhouse and Lorepository.

THE crescendo OF ADRENALINE🌿

sebastian

HE / THEY ◦ RAT / ???🪴

A rodent with an unusual dental makeup, Sebastian is a tall, lanky rat with pyrokinetic and megamorphic abilities. His demeanour is generally lax with a nonchalant attitude. There's very little that gets under his fur and problems always seem like a faraway concept.

• LOREPOSITORY PAGE
• TOYHOUSE PAGE

⟡
UNIVERSE & OCCUPATION

Sebastian's primary universe occupies a futuristic world where both the physical and digital self exist in a simultaneous reality. Malware started was once considered lines of code and scripts, but has long since evolved into its own self-actualizing threat to the mortality of online users - fully capable of possessing the original host user. His occupation provides digital "exorcisms" for corrupted souls, allowing them to regain their minds and bodies again.This universe involves locations featured in my artwork, such as 777 Station and Cosmicus Station.

Given the digital / tangible nature of Sebastian's universe, his universe has a lot of crossover with that of my other characters and might exist as a background element in their own stories.

⟡
physique & biology

Sebastian boasts a lean physique: averagely tall with not much musculature. His voluminous mane is a vibrant red, appearing to defy gravity with its overly bouncy nature. Though Sebastian is a rodent with appropriate incisors, his dental makeup includes premolars and a large set of canines that resemble a larger predatory mammal. It is uncertain what species Sebastian inherited this from.His tail is thick and pale pink with a thin layer of fur. When normally-sized, Sebastian's tail often droops behind him low to the ground. When in his much larger "kajiu" state, his tail stands rigidly outward like that of a prehistoric theropod.When in his immense form Sebastian's physique shifts into a lumbering, exaggerated prehistoric slouch. His extremities grow burlier allowing him to walk and sprint on either two legs or on all fours. Sebastian retains full awareness while in this state, however he is also prone to episodes of feral aggression.

⟡
abilities & skills

Sebastian's lean body leaves little physical strength to offer. Instead his strength relies on his ability to
exponentially increase his form's size. His monstrous form allows him to tap into elevated levels of power and deal immense damage.

THE ARCHITECT OF HUBRIS 🌿

octis

HE / THEY ◦ ANGELIC KING CHEETAH🪴

Sharp-witted and calculating, Octis is a wiry old man who rarely ever smiles.

• LOREPOSITORY PAGE
• TOYHOUSE PAGE

⟡
UNIVERSE & OCCUPATION

Octis' universe begins with an angel, slighted by his eternally stagnant position as the High Council of Adontis. Too high authority to meaningfully connect to his peers, Octis existence was a prolonged one of isolation buried in his duties. Fed up with the status quo, he made a valiant attempt to slay the only power above him. Instead, he found his wings burnt as he was cast down into the ocean of the mortal world.From there he encountered Captain, Castline, a burly old seafaring soul shackled to purgatory stasis delivering souls to the King of Purgatory himself: Asathanos. Octis negotiated his release from purgatory. To ensure Octis fulfilled his contract Asathanos sent along Turbatio, a monstrous hell-beast, to observe Octis as he carried out his obligations. Octis has little interest in fulfilling his end of the bargain. Despite Turbatio looming over him like a guillotine ravenously eager to reduce Octis' very soul to dust, Octis instead has set out to rebuild and amass power of his own.

Octis occupies an immense cathedral-style building that is ill-fit for the hyper-modern urban world that surrounds it. He portrays himself as a faith leader whose cathedral offers sanctuary to the damned and forgotten; only once these wayward stragglers step foot past the threshold of his estate, their minds and souls fall under his shackles for eternity. He commands a growing reserve of the supernatural, including his own hell-beast in the making, Zolix. Aside from Turbatio, the only other resident of his estate to preserve their agency is Octis' mute second-in-command, Gabriel.

⟡
physique & biology

Octis' thin frame doesn't offer much in physical strength. What he lacks in brute force he makes up for with his sharp mind and impeccable otherworldly prowess. Octis' wings were once part of his physical form, now cuffed by diamond-shaped crystals that are gravitationally tethered in place were they used to be. Though no longer attached traditionally, they act very much the same as they would if they were. A wing can manifest from its crystal at his discretion.His halos hover at an angle, positioned just above and slightly behind his head. Small orbs and hollow circles circuit these halos at individual speeds and can slow down or speed up in coordination with his mood.A thick, gold band is permanently affixed to his tail reading Inter Orbis. It marks the location where his halos used to occupy.

⟡
abilities & skills

Octis has a penchant for violence, with a heavy preference for hands-off peripheral combat. He may use his residual heavenly abilities or his primary weapon, a scythe named Keres' Lullaby, to shred his opponents to ribbons.Monochromius, Octis, and Arthenos are aware of each other's immortal status as divine entities. None address it.

⟡
weapon

Keres' Lullaby is an immense scythe with otherworldly capabilities. It can inflict damage on any entity regardless of mortality or power. This weapon can be summoned from or stowed away in the aether whenever Octis needs. It was crafted in a holy forge and is tethered to Octis' control alone.

THE FUTURE'S OPTIMIST 🌿

euillcys

HE / THEY ◦ BAT🪴

Scatterbrained but not at all unintelligent, Euillcys is an older man with an enthusiastic passion for botany and all things pertaining to clean energy. He carries himself with a bubbly, optimistic attitude, always eager to learn and hungry for discovery.He's quick to strike up conversation and make friends, though this often makes his scientific peers and superiors doubt his exceptional intellect. He specializes in scientific engineering - specifically in solar powered energy. His energetic demeanour has him recurrently passed over for promotions - something he hardly minds as he loathes the idea of being relegated to an administrative office life.

• LOREPOSITORY PAGE
• TOYHOUSE PAGE

⟡
UNIVERSE & OCCUPATION

Euillcys does not yet occupy is own set universe, instead participating in the universes of other characters of mine.He is a brilliant innovator, fixated on all things correlating to solar-generated power and clean energy. He works as an engineer developing solar panel cells and optimizing them. Due to his work, Euillcys is habitually diurnal and thus is scarcely seen without some kind of caffeinated beverage in tow. Unfortunately this chronic jetlag has resulted in more than one instance of death - a death that is quickly reversed courtesy of Arthenos who granted him the ability without his knowledge.Euillcys also has an affinity for botany, a hobby he passionately engages in with Arthenos.

⟡
physique & biology

Euillcys is a tall, thin man with abnormally pointy ears for his species. His coat hosts a variety of small plants on its sleeves that are watered through a valve and tube system.Being a bat with highly sensitive hearing Euillcys gets overwhelmed with his mind scrambled by the background din of urban life. He may sport a set of noise-cancelling headphones to dampen the peripheral noise.

⟡
abilities & skills

Euillcys' supernatural abilities are largely unknown, and though everyone around him appears to be elementally attuned he is not interested in exploring the concept. Euillcys' skills lie in determinable science and logic.Unbeknownst to him, Euillcys is capable of controlling plants as if they were his very appendages. He has demonstrated capabilities of accelerating plant germination and bloom, but not once thought twice about the ability.Periodically Euillcys may shed pollen. This pollen is akin to dandruff: small and largely unnoticed. Contrary to the belief of his peers, this pollen originates from him and not the plants on his coat. This pollen can have a variety of effects on those around him, from mere allergies to unexpected changes in mental state. Euillcys typically sheds this pollen seasonally but may also shed it profusely during intense emotional moments.He is close friends with Arthenos who secretly bestowed Euillcys with immortality. Euillcys hasn't noticed nor does he question it, considering his moments of accidental death to be mere black-outs from overworking.

THE FORLORN INKWELL 🌿

LOKE

HE / THEY ◦ CARIBOU🪴

A caribou with a peculiar interest in the afterlife, Loke is an avid writer and well-practiced barista. He surrounds himself with icons and paraphernalia of the otherworldly and undead, including bones and other relics. Coupled with his mute nature, he appears off-putting to some. To others, he's the aloof, tormented heartthrob of their dark romance novella.

• LOREPOSITORY PAGE
• TOYHOUSE PAGE

⟡
UNIVERSE & OCCUPATION

Loke does not occupy his own unique universe, instead acting as a supporting character in the universes of my other characters.Enjoying a humble barista job in an unnamed cafe, Loke engages in a daily, unremarkable 9-5 without much fanfare. His day-to-day is a series of lattes and teas until he gets home and settles down for what he considers his real job - writing. Loke's passion for literature is a bottomless inkwell, churning out chapters of work over short time periods; though none of his works are professionally published. All of his works are published online alongside his library of fanfiction. He rarely dabbles in the fanfiction of other writers, vastly preferring original horror thrillers.

⟡
physique & biology

Loke's form is short and lean, with lengthy antlers that shed seasonally. His antlers have a gnarled appearance with tines that bend backward at the tips to form arrows. He dresses in semi-formal attire, frequently seen in a simple blazer and tie.An instantly apparent feature of Loke is his mute nature. Not a sound resonates through his vocal cords. He utilizes hand-written notes and text-to-speech applications on his mobile devices, using sign language whenever it is an option for him.

⟡
abilities & skills

Loke possesses paranormal abilities, including tapping into the spiritual and otherwordly. It is unclear how he came to acquire some skills, though he will never divulge the intimate details on his origins.He practices forms of divination for insight into past or future events. Select frequenters of his cafe approach him for his tasseographic prowess. Loke is well-versed in the art and will deliberately relay vague readings susceptible to broad interpretation when someone is treating his art like a trend or novelty.Loke is also an oneiromancer - diving into the meaning behind dreams and the wisdom they may hold about events yet to come.Both Loke and Arthenos dabble in dark magic, and both are aware of each other's meddling. There is a silent agreement between them to not bring attention to it.

The Life Review OF AN ARCHIVIST 🌿

arthenos

HE / THEY ◦ KITSUNE🪴

An old man eligible for a senior's discount anywhere, Arthenos is an elderly kitsune enthusiastic about historical non-fiction and botany. When not sipping pots of tea or lecturing students on history, he partakes in hobbies such a bee-keeping, feeding park pigeons, and gardening.

• LOREPOSITORY PAGE
• TOYHOUSE PAGE

⟡
UNIVERSE & OCCUPATION

Arthenos' universe is non-specific, overlapping with the universes of my other characters.His occupies his time as a professor at an esteemed historical university. Though he's long surpassed his retirement date, he's kept on as a cornerstone of the faculty and an endless wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Curiously, due to the temporary attendance of his students and the turnover of faculty, his prolonged stay with the establishment has long gone unnoticed. He has been working at the school since its inception some centuries ago.

⟡
physique & biology

Despite being an immortal creature, Arthenos shows visible signs of age. Deep wrinkles take roost in the corners of his eyes and mouth, and much of his fur and hair has greyed. While capable of rejuvenating himself, he enjoys the accommodations inherited with his senior status and may occasionally take advantage of the public's perception of the elderly to feign innocence during minor acts of mischief.He has seven voluminous tails, each tipped with a delicate azure flame that is harmless to the world around it. While Arthenos' age should have him boasting a full nine tails and exalted status, these final two were ripped away by a higher power due to dabbling in questionable magical practises.Monochromius, Octis, and Arthenos are aware of each other's immortal status as divine entities. None address it.

⟡
abilities & skills

Arthenos portrays himself an enfeebled old man but possesses immeasurable power and skill. He seldom engages these abilities unless necessary, with the exception of a few occurrences.He is close friends with Euillcys and has secretly bestowed the bat with immortality. Euillcys hasn't noticed nor does he question it, considering his moments of accidental death to be mere black-outs from overworking.Both Arthenos and Loke dabble in dark magic, and both are aware of each other's meddling.

THE FETTERS OF A QUASAR 🌿

monochromius

HE / THEY ◦ KIRIN🪴

A kirin with reign over the threads between the interstellar, Monochromius is an older kirin that maintains an old-fashioned lifestyle. His mannerisms reflect an archaic culture, displaying prowess in social etiquette and chivalry despite neither finding necessity in the modern era.His tastes in aesthetics are rather antiquated, and he busies himself with hobbies such as chess, poetry, and practicing violin. He has a deep fondness for the melancholic sounds of the zhongyin erhu.

• LOREPOSITORY PAGE
• TOYHOUSE PAGE

⟡
UNIVERSE & OCCUPATION

Monochromius exists in each universe of mine by nature of his dimension-hopping. Whether he is actively present is another factor.He takes up the profession of an esteemed music instructor and tutor of classic etiquette. He is a friend of Arthenos' and the pair privately bond over eras long gone.

⟡
physique & biology

Monochromius' fashion preferences lean more modern, though this is more happenstance due to their ongoing popularity rather than a conscious choice. He dresses in formal or semi-formal wear, including garments such as suit ties, vests, and button-down shirts. He wears a single square gold earring in his right ear.Monochromius, Octis, and Arthenos are aware of each other's immortal status as divine entities. None address it.

⟡
abilities & skills

Being a kirin, Monochromius has otherworldly capabilities beyond the average mortal. His magic can be represented in artwork as inky shadow, glass fragments, or astronomic black holes.Monochromius' abilities can be comparable to the immeasurable raw power of the real-life Phoenix A*.

THE ANCHOR OF THE SCALES 🌿

adontis

THEY / THEM ◦ CRANE DEITY🪴

The logo of my "godbirdart" brand, Adonis is the omnipotent deity in my stories. Their role is the origin of the big bang, the divine force that defines all, and the ultimate authority on where and how souls are possessed and transferred during their life cycles.Even though they are technically a fursona, Adontis' omnipotent omniscience is why I won't label them as such. "godbirdart" came from a love of biblically accurate angels and a simple appreciation for birds. Adontis flourished and quickly grew into their own character - but placing myself in this metaphorical centre of the entire universe just doesn't sit well with me. Comparisons to godlihood should be earned honest praise given by others of their own volition, not a self-assigned label. I know that fursonas don't necessarily delve so deep into introspection for everyone and that this all may sound frivolous to some, but it's an arbitrary thing that lingers with me. I named myself godbird, but I don't want to be called god.Adontis is neither benevolent nor malevolent. Their morality lies in a grey neutrality leaving life to live itself with little to no influence by their hand. They perceive their creations much like curious eyes watching ants. They wish to see their creations flourish and thrive while acknowledging the bleak reality that each and every story must eventually come to a close.

• LOREPOSITORY PAGE
• TOYHOUSE PAGE

⟡
UNIVERSE & OCCUPATION

Adontis exists as the all-encompassing deity in each universe I create. Their presence varies depending on the story, whether it be the driving force behind Octis' story or a background mention in others. Any mentions of gods or the beginnings of creation in my writing places Adontis at the singular origin point.At one point they were in charge of all the souls conjured into creation. That also entailed observing the life lived by each one, and determining if it is ready to enter the afterlife's paradise. After a time, Adontis delegated this task of weighing of souls to their trusted council. Souls deemed with a good life enter the afterlife's paradise and may reside there for as long as they wish. Souls may either opt to reincarnate, forgetting their previous lives when they do, or return their energy to the cosmos as a kind of "permanent" death. Souls deemed unworthy of entering the afterllfe are sent to the King of Purgatory: Asathanos. Under his guidance souls are to be reformed and amend the wrongdoings done during their lifetimes. Unfortunately, no souls have been able to amend and ascend as Asathanos has shirked all his responsibilities since the inception of his role.

⟡
physique & biology

Adontis is an angelic avian of immeasurable size. Towering far beyond the stratosphere they seldom set foot upon any mortal plane of existence, instead remaining in an external dimension inaccessible to mere mortals. Their silky plumes ripple like the surface of water and drape around them like a robe. Their face is partly obscured by a set of wings covering the eyes that they do not possess.

⟡
abilities & skills

As the centre and origin of all, Adontis possesses incomprehensible powers of creation and destruction.

WORK UPDATES & ANNOUNCEMENTS

Any work-related announcements are posted here as well as to my Discord and Telegram Channel.

┌ UPDATED: 08 10 2026 𓅣 ┐

SCHEDULE UPDATE

✦ After a long stay with family over the summer, I am now back home! Today I'm catching up and touching base with those that reached out while I was away between September 30 and October 7.I am now back to work largely uninterrupted! While my heart isn't in tachycardic purgatory anymore, I am now on a strict four-day week rather than the unintended seven I used to operate on. I'll also be moving away from referring to my working days as "business days" to avoid any confusion going forward._{Work Days: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
Rest Days: Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday}I'll be updating my email footers, email auto-responder, as well as my Trello and website to reflect the schedule change.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

✦ A quick last note vaguely related to my health issues this year: please if you're able, do yourself the tremendous favour and defend your work-life balance and agency to say "enough is enough" or "I need more time" when you need to. Years into the future you won't be wishing you'd stayed up later to get more work done or answered more outside-work-hours emails or calls. If you're not careful, future-you may look back to see years spent working instead of living, possibly battling an avoidable health issue caused by overworking.It's no secret many people feel disconnected from themselves because work has infiltrated every waking moment of their lives. It shouldn't be this way, yet it is out of sheer necessity just to survive. If you can, set aside time to meaningfully reconnect yourself with and your hobbies and interests. Read a book. Do a paint-by-number. Try out felting or beadwork. Life isn't meant to be all work and while bills and rent will absolutely try to convince you life's a non-stop onslaught of punishment, partaking in at least one little hobby will do so much more for your long-term mental health than pessimistically resigning yourself to your job or doomscrolling on your phone ever can.
