Who?
I am a freelance 3D artist and former software developer (he/him) from Augsburg, Germany creating furry 3D art and VR avatars.
During my first internet adventures in 1998, I found the name Kianga (pronounced key-UN-ga) in a Swahili dictionary, translated as “burst of sunlight after rain.” It reminded me of the beautiful ending scene from The Lion King, and I chose it as my online nickname. I learned that it’s a female name only after I had used it for almost every online account. It’s nice and short though, and I still like the image.
Many of my art projects are inspired by the fantasy MMO Guild Wars 2 and its fierce battle cats, the charr. I do not work for ArenaNet nor am I sponsored by them—I just love their work.
If you’d like to know more about my personal history and career and don't mind me rambling a bit, I've written a longer post about it. I also have a list of tools that I use for my work and personal life, if you’re curious about that.
I used to think of myself as politically moderate, but in recent years I've found myself leaning more and more towards the left. I value empathy and kindness, and I have zero tolerance for hate, bigotry, and abuse.

Navigating this website
There are four main sections: Pages about specific topics (like my commission info), articles (basically blog posts), my creative projects, and mementos—art I have received from friends over the years.
You can also browse all of these by categories (like 3D art or virtual reality), characters (like my charr warrior), or collections (like Charrtober 2021).
If you’re looking for a specific page, try the quick search or the site map.
