About me
I'm Kamuniak and I'm furry. If you do not know what furry is, I wonder how did you end up to my page in first place :) But if you wish to know more, Wikipedia's article on furry fandom is a good, neutral place to start finding out.
Quick furry history
Have I always been furry? Hard to say, but at least I've been furry for a long time. I do remember how I loved animal characters in computers games. Starting from rabbit in Samurai Warrior (Commodore 64, 1987, I was only 11 years at the time). Then Kattas and Liontaurs in Quest for Glory and finally Khajiits in Morrowind. If just possible, I'm always playing non-human characters in games. When internet arrived, I noticed that I'm not the only one ;) who likes anthropomorphic characters. But then I also realized that I've actually been a furry at least 10 years before I even learned the word "furry"
For a long time I kept very low profile. Until finally, I attended Eurofurence 13 and I must say that I haven't had such a good time in years! I had so good time that I actually attended another furry convention, RBW 2007, just some months later. See my photographs from those and other conventions after these.
Likes and nonexisting dislikes
So, what do I like in furry fandom? This is pretty easy: fursuits and non-yiffy furry art. Even though I specify "non-yiffy", this does not mean, that I have something against yiffy-art or people who like that. Everyone is free to like whatever they want :) I just personally prefer non-yiffy art. Here's few examples of art for my taste: Princess (by Ashalind) and work by Hbruton.
Outside furry fandom I of course like nature in general but especially forests! Have you ever been in forest at the middle of the night? I mean in deep forest. No car sounds echoing from the distance or something like that. Go there, sit down and listen. Dark forests may actually be slightly frightening sometimes, but it's still so beautiful feeling to be there all alone.
And then there's of course computers and programming. I like to do things by myself, my gallery for example is "homemade" from the scratch.
What does Kamuniak mean?
Kamuniak means Blessed One. Original Kamuniak (or Kamunyak) was lioness, living in Kenya. She became famous by adopting 5 oryx calves and protecting them from other lions and other predators. Kamuniak-lioness was last sighted in 2003. I saw a document about it shortly after this and I think this is definitely most beatiful animal story ever. (Wikipedia's article on Kamuniak)
My "fursona" is not a lion and especially not female :) But I liked the name "Kamuniak" because of it's translation. Also, sometimes I have that feeling that I'm too weird for this world. I bet Kamuniak-lioness had that same feeling many times...
Fursona
What is my fursona then? When someone sometimes asks this, my answer is "something between snow leopard and wolf". I guess there isn't such animal in real world that would reflect my fursona perfectly. I made furry test once and its result was Wolf: You can be distant at times, but always enjoy the company of your carefully selected packmates. Well, that's me all right :)
