Halfshell (also known as Halfshell Hero, Sabaka, and Sabaka'Zlo) is a furry artist who joined the fandom in 2003, after leaving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom the same year. While surfing, he stumbled on anthropomorphic art and was instantly hooked. He began to submit his own art and pick up requests, and was welcomed into the community. Along the way, he has chatted with individuals from Jaimetud Otter to meeting Sir Kain. Halfshell attended his first furry convention at AnthroCon 2005 with Sir Kain. Halfshell has met many furs online. After the trip to the con, Halfshell got his first Post Con Depression.

[edit] Fursonas

Halfshell Hero is Halfshell's main fursona. It depicts from the crossover from his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fanbase community to the furry community. The turtle character has gone through some changes once entered into the furry community. The ninja attire and black headband was removed and was left remained a common turtle for a few years, until some the TMNT community joined the furries, the red hair and then the blue cap then was added.

Sabaka (Zlo) Mahusky is Halfshell's first original character. Sabaka, the Russian meaning for dog or wolf; Zllo, the Russian meaning "demon", "evil", "devil". The idea for the character was spawned when Halfshell and a local kid were creating ideas for comic book characters. Sabaka' Zlo is currently being used for Ironclaw role-playing game, and is Halfshell's current fursuit, which is offically retired as of Anthrcon 2009.

[edit] Music

In late 2004, Halfshell was signed on the board of InflationNation where he and best friend Jaimetud Otter recorded “Blue’s Christmas” for the message board for his good friend Blue Dragon.

In 2005, Halfshell recorded "Leavin' the Con", a reflection of his Post Con Depression. After searching for parody furry artists, Halfshell found SonicBlu, and purchased his albums from FurNation.
