With sadness in my heart, I'm aware that artist Shon Howell ( king-cheetah ) has recently passed away due to his battle against a liver cancer.
I never had much contact with him other than a few messages on Twitter, but he always seemed like a humble guy with a great talent.
May he rest in peace.

It was truly sad to hear we lost another great in the fandom! I hold close the designs i got from him as he did marvelous pics and even were the genesis to beloved characters i currently have! I hope his eternal rest will be a peaceful one!
Aw man, I hadn't heard. Bummer.
He was a cool and talented guy.

I remember him and his artwork from when I was a kid. He was a great artist and a friendly guy.
Very thanks for all Etonpot.
Rest in peace for this humble guy. Hope his soul pass the golden door.

Eu não o conhecia, embora conhecesse sua arte, é uma perda lastimável mesmo e devo concordar com o MaverickHunterDBoy que é um lindo tributo.
*Moment of silence for this loss of this beloved human being*
Never stops feeling weird when an artist you knew/followed passes away :(
RIP
RIP
Lovely tribute. Kinda makes me wonder what people will say when it's my turn.
"What a crank! -But we loved him anyway...!"
Shon was always a great guy, I wouldn't have gotten into the whole furry community without his art. He was a good friend too, and I'll miss him a lot. And your memorial drawing is beautiful, he'd have loved it.
For we are but dust, and our days are numbered. You made this woeful old world a better place, Shon, by being that rare thing, a good guy. Vaya con Dios, and may the love and prayers of all your friends become the glory horse that carries your soul to the clean Good World that comes after this filthy mortal one.
A fitting tribute to the loss of another talented artist. RIP Shon.
Fairwell King. i'll always remember you art in my early days when found myself a furry. Like many now lost artists, your style was iconic in the fandom. it now up to us to keep your memory alive and ensure your immortally in eyes of history. Rest in Peace Shon Howell.
Damn, Shon was so good at drawing cute big-boobed furry girls. I remember seeing his pin up stuff in mature furry magazines and comics back in the 1990s. I never got to say anything to ho,. but I loved his sexy female art stuff. Sorry about hearing about him being gone.
I learned of his passing earlier on Facebook. The Antarctic Press page there announced Shon's death.
How many more must we lose to such an evil disease?
How many more until a cure is found?
1 year ago I too lost a good friend to cancer. i will forever fight for those we have lost.

No... oh... I still have a shirt he sold from the company he ran with Brian Sutton. I'll dig it out and wear it in his honor.
It's so sad we lost such a great artist in the furry community! He will be missed!
I was wondering what had happened to him. His art was always so often posted and then...
He will be missed.
He will be missed.
Sucks he passed away at sucha young age. Atleast he is without pain now. that is small comfort though.
Beutiful art.
And i say as i said on Twitter. If you wanna do something in his Memory i´d suggest donating to cancer research, since they are largely dependent on donations from pepole.

This fucking stings.
You were taken from us much too soon, Shon. 😢💔

His pics were among the very first I found in the fandom. I guess you could say he played a fair part in me still being here today. May he rest well now.
Sketched a tribute as well but with his Cheetah oc. This is really beautiful! <3
At least we can enjoy his images on the account to remember the good times
There've been a lot of tributes to him.
I'm glad his archive has a lot of his stuff.

Thank you for posting this -- I had no idea he had passed. I was fortunate enough to purchase a few pieces from him over the years. He was always nice in his messages. I'll miss him and his work.
Shon's stuff is some of the earliest I followed. I always loved what his characters were saying as much as what they looked like.
A great talent and funny as hell. I will miss him.

May He Rest In Peace, although he's gone but he left his something to remember him by his art and his legacy .
Amen.
Amen.
Quit makin' me teary-eyed.
Gonna miss his art, man. I never did get a chance to meet him. Discuss putting his work on my website yes, but sadly never got to shake hands.

wow... i didn't know he passed away till i checked your gallery to see what's up with your awesome art then I saw this. I know the artist, not personally but know of them, watched them for a long time too but I didn't think he was having problems. I think I should have paid more attention. x_X I did see his recent picture of himself saying he was doing better? But that wasn't the case? Wow... This is sad but also a nice tribute.
May he rest in peace now.

I remember getting artwork from Shawn at A-Kon. If memory serves he was a very decent person, and it breaks my heart to know we lost him.
Essa foi a primeira vez que acontece a morte de um maior artista que eu sigo
Nos últimos anos eu tomei conhecimento de alguns artistas do fandom que partiram. Dois dos mais conhecidos foram o Doug Winger e o James Hardiman.
That's so sad, I've never know about him, but he irradiated good vibes, I can feel it from his art, hope he finds Peace wherever he'd gone, heaven, valhalla, La tierra de los muertos...
No not Shon He wa a good friend of mine. I know there were issues with him but he was a good furry friend
