Many of us who discovered the furry fandom, found it through the art of great artists such as Wookiee, Dark Natasha, and others, for us lion fans we found an artist named " Lionus"  lionus / https://www.furaffinity.net/user/lionus/ Many of his fans seem to have lost contact with him.. He has suddenly stopped posting or faving arts on FurAffinity, His last upload was 3 years ago, last journal 4 years ago, and last favorite a year & half ago.. many of us who loved this furry artist fear the worst has happened, though even after research we could not find his whereabouts or if he has passed on or not. Lionus was one of the first artists to inspire me (and others) to venture in the fandom. with his lion art.
If anyone on FurAffinity.. know him personally, please let us know where Lionus is.. or have gone.. There are quite a few of us who are worried for him. Myself, Tallyhawk, leo_darkside, and others.

UPDATE: -I have been in contact with a family member of Lionus, and now of his whereabouts. Send me a message for more information. -FS
