Crys the Hybrid

2010 Guest of Honor, Artist

Crys grew up on the east coast, and her love of animals started very young. She started her life with a love of them, dressing up every halloween, drawing and scribbling them, everything.

As she hit highschool, she moved to Texas for her 10th grade year. She there met another prolific artist, Hazard. Hazard introduced her to the thought of more than just werewolves, and creatures of the like. She also introduced Crys to drawing more of a storyline based set of characters and a character to represent Crys herself. From there, Hazard and Crys became good friends and grew as anthropomorphic artists. It took them a long time to learn of the Furry fandom as it is and not what it looks like, however, they did finally succumb to the title of "Furry".

From there, Crys became an avid furry loving artist. She drew nothing but and started to improve exponentially! Finally in 2005 she decided on getting into the online community. She joined Deviantart and started to slowly post her work. Getting a tiny bit of a following, she made friends quickly and started to do art trades and learn the ways of the "fur".

After graduating, she moved to Dallas to go to the Art Institute. She was there for about amonth before going to her first furry convention "Oklacon". At Oklacon, her and Hazard met up and decided to start taking commissions for badges and small sketches. Here she truly learned about the fandom. And at this Oklacon, Crys met the love of her life, Skylor. they started to go out about a month after the con and they grew closer every day.

Within a year, Skylor had moved down, and they were back up at Oklacon again. After two years of trials and some serious tribulations they decided on moving up to Oklahoma. Where they now live!

Crys is currently Art Track Lead at a convention in Dallas called Furry Fiesta (www.furryfiesta.org). She did a great job and ran around like a chicken with her head cut off, but overall, everyone had fun.

She's a funloving person, with an adoration for any of her friends. She's also a fursuiter and a fursuit maker. (slowly learning of course) But She's teaching herself how to build better fursuits, paws, feet and tails.

In Crys's own words:

Take the time to view Crys's FurAffinity page.
