AZION
FREELANCE ILLUSTRATOR
Hello, and thank you for visiting my page!I'm Rikkun Zukheo, you may also know me as AZION the Rare Protogen or thanshuhai online. I’m half Filipino and half Vietnamese, and I’ve spent my life here in the Philippines. I’m a pretty laid-back, introverted person who enjoys life’s quieter moments.I've been a self-taught artist since 2012, focusing on anthropomorphic (or furry) art. Art is my way of telling stories and expressing myself, bringing life to imagined worlds and offering a glimpse into how I see things. I’m constantly seeking to grow, both in my art and personally, and I'm excited by the journey of self-discovery it brings.Nature, friends, family, and the work of fellow artists are my biggest inspirations. I paint because it feels like sharing a piece of myself with the world, and I hope you follow me along in my creative journey.

DRAZERK SPECIES
What is a Drazerk?
- A Drazerk /ˈdrɑ.zɜːrk/ (DRA-zurk) is a dragon-shark-inspired shapeshifting species. They possess slit pupils that can dilate, a forked tongue that can appear whole, and are generally fluffy but can also have shark-like skin or dragon scales. They are typically tall and long in stature. Drazerks are elemental beings and, like dragons, have the ability to breathe various elements.Can I create my own Drazerk?
- Yes! Drazerk is an open species, so feel free to make your own. However, please refrain from copying the marking combination of my fursona. I only ask that you credit me by including the note: "Drazerk species by @thanshuhai" on the ref sheet.What key features does a Drazerk have?
- Drazerks are inspired by dragons and sharks. The markings are entirely up to you, and you’re free to add any traits such as horns, spikes, fins, shark skin, dragon scales, tufted or pointy tails, or similar features. Additionally, you can incorporate mammalian traits like paw pads and tails. There are no strict guidelines, so feel free to be as creative as you like.What differentiates them from a Sergal, and did you take inspiration from them?
- Drazerks have a tapered snout, unlike the straight, angular head of a Sergal. Their ears are more fennec-like or canine-like and do not point backward. Drazerks also lack brow tufts and have more than 12 teeth, giving them a resemblance to a dragon or shark. Their body structure is significantly different; while Sergals have a protruding sternum and a avian-like stance, Drazerks exhibit a more anthro-dragon-like posture and anatomy. And yes, I did take inspiration from Sergals, as my fursona used to be one years ago. However, the features I liked diverged from their typical anatomy, so I decided to create something unique that allows for more creative freedom while drawing inspiration from the species.
My Drazerk, my main fursona:

ABOUT MY FURSONA
Your text is clear and well-written. Here's a slightly refined version for improved flow and precision:Rikkun essentially represents me.My character has multiple versions reflecting different sides of myself: warrior, military, medieval, modern, futuristic, tribal, and more. Each version allows him to exist in a range of settings and situations.As a shapeshifter, Rikkun can take on various forms, including entirely different species. I enjoy imagining him transforming into different creatures. Although his story is still evolving, he was once human before undergoing a transformative change.Rikkun’s element is fire, uniquely rose-red in color, which he can breathe out, fitting for a dragon.
"A curse or a gift"
Rikkun's transformation from a Human to a Drazerk.

BIOGRAPHY
Thanshuhai (pronounced tan-shu-hai, born December 11) also known as Rikkun Zukheo, I'm half-Filipino, half-Vietnamese freelance furry artist from Lucena, Philippines.A former Bachelor of Science in Information Technology student, I worked part-time as a cashier and computer technician before becoming a freelance artist.
If anyone would care to read, I do have a life story page here. But I rather have it not be announced to the public.
FANDOM INVOLVEMENT
I've been a part of the furry fandom since April 2012. I sort of knew the fandom 2 years prior to that. Its when I accidentally stumble upon the community when looking up HTTYD, I searched up "Night Furry" instead of "Night Fury" and that's when I saw werewolves on DeviantArt. I've been following a lot of artists since then and started my interest in art. I've started doing some art and posting it online, one day someone locally invited me to a furry Facebook group and got to learn more about the furry fandom, and that's when I considered myself a furry.My first fursona was a a brown fur Fennec Wolf, and it stayed like that until 2016, when I changed the fur color to gray with orange accent and called the species "Wolfennec".In 2020 I changed my fursona to a Sergal Hybrid with a black tip muzzle while keeping the same colors. But after 2 years the colors and design grew out of me and I wanted to simplify the design and change the species to a "Drazerk" which is a Dragon, Sergal, Shark inspired species.

My family comes from Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. My mother is Vietnamese and my father is Filipino. They worked together at the airport there until the Vietnam War led my family—along with my two eldest siblings—to move to the Philippines.Growing up, we lived a modest life. I was raised in a single-parent household with my mother, as the youngest of five siblings and now one of the last surviving two. Life was simple, and I’ve always been a reserved, quiet person. I struggled academically as a slow learner and didn’t read well until the 6th grade. However, I excelled in areas I was passionate about, especially gaming and computers. In high school, I worked part-time as a cashier while teaching myself computer repair. By the time I reached college, I decided to study Information Technology, diving into programming, graphics, and digital art. Around then, I also discovered the furry fandom, which inspired me to start drawing. Unfortunately, after two years, financial constraints forced me to leave college. Since then, I’ve focused on freelance work to support my family.The furry fandom has had a huge, positive impact on my life. It helped me find my passion and opened up opportunities to support my family—especially my sister, who is a single mother, and my nephew, to whom I’ve become a father figure. I am immensely grateful to the community and everyone who has supported my work over the years. Now, my goals are simple: to live life, create art, and share it with all of you. I wish happiness for everyone.I owe so much to my mother, who made countless sacrifices for me and my sister. Despite being in a foreign country, losing three children, and dealing with my father’s absence, she’s been my constant support and my hero. I miss her deeply, and I want her to be remembered.
In memory of my loving Mother.
