Hiii!! My name is Franco, the owner of ShadowedKing! I am a queer (genderfluid/pan) Louisville native artist. I create original work and fanart without the use of AI, specializing in digital art. I am a lifelong creative- in 2014 I kicked off my online presence with my YouTube animations. I am inspired by my various interests, with my love for Warrior Cats and Monster High ever present. Outside of art, I am passionate about toy collecting, claw machines and live performances!
I also love to sew and craft! I've been competitive cosplaying since I was a teen and have taken home a best in show award. I am able to create my own patterns and use varying materials in prop making. My skills range from garment construction, embroidery, foam work, fursuit production, painting, sculpting, hand sewing and whatever else I need to do to be character accurate.
As for my business, the name ShadowedKing comes from my fursona Shadow and my royalty aesthetic. My mascot Clairvoyance is the purple goat ghoul you see on my branding- I also created my own custom doll of them! I manufacture the majority of my products in house and individually cut stickers, prints, hand press buttons and carve/stamp linoleum totebags. My merchandise features characters from anime, toy lines, books, shows, games and other franchises, with a mix of my own original designs.
I have been vending since 2025 but have been a lifelong nerd and convention attendee. This website was created in partnership with my boyfriend/business partner Nick (SinisterSuns) who also supports with manufacturing and show appearances.
I am open to professional inquires and wholesale opportunities, please reach out via the contact information above. Thank you for your interest in my sparkly little world!
Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is my mascot/persona! They are both a Monster High (..college?) OC and also just a representation of myself. He is used in my branding and for self inserts, but her actual lore is that she's a theater major college student that gets killed at a frat party and digs themself out of their grave to get revenge. He uses the body parts of the attackers to stitch himself back together and the skin grafts turn purple. In other news, she's into social media and Hot Topic! :D
Shadow
Shadow has been my fursona since 2015! I made him in middle school on a whim to have a mascot and he has stuck around ever since with very little design changes. He doesn't have any deep lore or story, that's just me irl!!! I am actually a gray cat. He's a smug and confident little shit thats super fluffy and enjoys fashion. I have my own fursuit of him!! He's kinda taken a backseat to Clairvoyance in current years but I love him dearly :3
All of these cosplays are 100% handmade by me, and I designed the patterns myself! Notably, my Fearne won best of show at Louisville Pop Con in 2023!
