Hey there! I'm Nickolaus Sawyer. I am a lakota (oglala) / white two spirit artist. I go by they/them.My art is all about following my interests in the moment. You'll catch me diving into character concept work, illustrations, and even dabbling in fashion. My real niche however are anthropomorphic figures and creatures - I haven't stopped drawing them since I was ten years old.I identify as otherkin, which means that I have a deep spiritual and personal connection to my personal fursonas. Drawing furries is a way for me to express my own inner nature, to explore and embrace the facets of my identity that align with anthropomorphic characters.Alongside my artistic endeavors, I actively contribute my time to the development and maintenance of the Wickercave website and species.

Some things that I really enjoy are linkin park, godzilla, my cat muffin, marvel, and retro video games.

Artificial Intelligence Usage

  • Submission of Pinewarden's artwork to any form of artificial intelligence identity, program, or generator is strictly prohibited. Pinewarden withholds consent for their artwork to be included or utilized in any such context.

  • Projects requesting a specific date that is within 4 weeks will be charged a 50% rush fee up front.

  • Note that the six month completion time is a maximum time bracket, is not necessarily the normal turnaround timeline of all projects. This timeline clause is here as a precaution to allow for emergencies to be taken care of, educational responsibilities, and other at home obligations the artist may have.

Private Projects

  • Private projects are accepted without fee if there is a "release date" that the artwork can be posted. If there is no release date, the individual will pay a 100% fee on top of the project costs. This is due to the exposure the artist is losing by not allowing the work to be posted online or in their portfolio.
