Alicia Marie Boros

I'm very humble about my work and thankful for everyone who has taken the time to watch me, leave comments and favorite my art since 2001.

While also an artist, I consider myself to be an admirer of anthro/furry art first.
A friend introduced me to the VCL archive in 2001 and encouraged me to try anthro art because he noticed that I drew dragons a lot. I feel that anthro/furry art is a perfect fit for me because I really love animals, wildlife and drawing.
I haven't been able to stop drawing them since!

My artistic inspirations are Jim Balent (he penciled the Catwoman comics in the 90's), Rage1986, Shinigamigirl, Jay Axer, Allison Theus, Orange04, Silverbobcat, Evana, Dominorose, Balaa, Mayra Boyle (Huskie), Hibbary and Dark Natasha.

My Art and Education

When I uploaded my first 'furry' drawing, I had NO expectations of actually selling my art. It's been a learning experience dipping my toes into the business end of the fandom's pool. I've been gradually learning what my limits are when it comes to subject matter, deadlines and work loads. I've received a lot of encouragement and negativity along the way, but I try to take something meaningful from each experience.

My main gallery is on Deviantart:

The VCL has my work from 2001-2007, so you can see my beginner anthro art if it interests you:

Trades

Please do not draw art for me and call it a trade without talking to me first. I consider it bad manners to draw something and expect me to make you something in return. I'm not incredibly picky when it comes to who I trade art with, though I would like a fair trade. All I ask is that they try their best and don't skimp out on effort. I like drawing characters I am not accustomed to and I view each trade as further practice for myself. I also love to receive artwork of my main character/fursona, Guyver47.

My trades status is currently full/closed. I will announce by JOURNAL when I'm open for trades.

*Please note: I do NOT role play online. If you see someone pretending to be me or claiming my art as their own on any forum or especially on irc chat/furnet, please e-mail me. I have had several incidents in the past where an individual signed up under my name pretending to be me. My name should be banned on Furnet IRC by my request.

Art Usage, Referencing and Reposting

I have no problem with my art being uploaded online to websites, as long as my copyright remains intact and the image isn't modified in any way other than SIZE. (You can share my art on sites like Myspace, Photobucket, Imageshack....etc)

If you see an image you would like to reference or learn from, feel free to use it for help. If you would like to post the art you created from it online, please let me know. There is such a gray area between referencing and copying, but my main concern is that you learn.

Do not alter my images to remove the copyright or use my art in any way to turn a profit. Do not trace my art, change the colors and claim the work as your own. I will ask you to remove the art, contact the site host your modified images are on for their removal and if necessary, pursue legal damages.

Thank you.

I must say that this is one of my favorite art galleries on elfwood (also on devinart) i like your style and guyver47 is very cool. by the way, how did you come up with that name? just wondering. keep it up! Alicia Marie Boros replies: ""Guyver47" is derrived from the Guyver anime and live action movies. I love all of them, my favorite character being Guyver 3. I created a character for myself.
