Sep 09, 2026- New Website! Trying out Carrd to see how I like it for a larger website. This is still a bit of a WIP, but is fully functional. I might make some more adjustments here and there!

Hi there! My name is Helen Lauzau, but I go by Dekeve or Pyro online. I am a 37 year old artist from North Carolina. I am a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design. I primarily create art digitally using Clip Studio Paint EX with a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. My main focus is animal, anthropomorphic and fantasy/sci-fi illustration. I take great inspiration from cats, video games, and the natural world. Much of my work is centered around my various story concepts and headworlds, which I also dabble in writing and world building for.


My Main Channel is currently on PiczelStreams are announced mainly through my Tumblr, Bluesky and Furaffinity accounts.To get email announcements please +Follow my channel.Feel free to stop by, watch me make art and chat!Back up/Alt Channel is on PicartoNote: For anyone new to my stream, I take a break every hour and am away from my computer during this time. It usually lasts about 15 minutes or so. So if you come in to the stream a see "Break Time" on the screen, I won't respond to chat messages until I return. I also mute my microphone during breaks.


RULESDo1. Respect me and others in the chat/stream
2. Feel free to ask questions.
3. Feel free to post links to your own art, but ask first!
4. Feel free to post links. I prefer they be SFW, but will allow some
NSFW if you ask first and give a warning/short description (i.e. Nudity, Gore, ect.)
Don’t1. Criticize my choice of listening material! Silently mute the stream and leave it at that.
2. Give critique, unless I ask for input or you are my client!
2. Correct other people's language/grammar/spelling/pronunciation.
3. Use the chat for role plays.
4. Advertise in the chat.
5. Record my stream sessions. Please respect my privacy and copyright.


Other than what is posted above, any topic is welcome in the chat unless it is considered offensive or I ask it to be dropped.I will do my best to answer questions in that chat, but if I don't answer right away, I promise I'm not ignoring you. I'm just not the greatest at multitasking. (This mostly applies when I'm not using a mic, but I do have two monitors and keep the chat on the second one. So I may miss your message at first, ether way)

FAQ1.What art program(s) are you using?
I use Clip Studio Paint EX primarily. I occasionally will try out other programs (mostly for fun), but it's rare.
2. Do you use a tablet?
Yes, I'm using a Wacom Intuos 4 Medium
3. What computer do you use?
I have a Mac Pro.
4.What streaming software are you using?
I am using OBS.
5. What should I call you?
I don't mind being called Dekeve, Pyrocat or just Pyro. Any of these are fine. Please do not call me by my real name unless I know you really well. Also my Pronouns are She/They. Ether is fine, I don't have a preference.

Commission Terms of Service

Revised 09-06-2026


🔸ContentI can draw/paint animals, anthropomorphic/fantasy creatures and humans/humanoids (although I find the latter a bit more challenging).I will not handle depiction of illegal activities, sexually explicit (x-rated) materials, hateful images, or trademarked characters without permission from trademark holder. Non-explicit fetish, artistic nudity, violence, gore, and humorously offensive work will be considered on a case-by-case basis. I reserve the right to reject any commission for any reason, without explanation.🔸ProcessDisplayed base prices are subject to change according to the complexity, difficulty, and scale of each individual piece.I work best when given a moderate amount of artistic freedom and when provided with clear and concise visual references of your character/idea. I can also work with a text description if necessary. (I welcome clients to provide me with their own drawings, even if it’s just stick figures, to get the idea across.)Depending on the type of commission and/or unless otherwise noted I will provide a few (2-3) thumbnails/gestures for you to choose from and for me to work off of. I will then refine the drawing and provide a clean sketch. At this stage you will have the opportunity to request minor changes to the sketch, especially if I have forgotten any details of your character that were clearly listed on your references, mentioned on the request form or in an email.Major revisions that diverge from the your original commission description/references and refined thumbnail (such as composition, color and background may increase the length of time a commissions takes, and will incur a rework fee.Please Note:--Your Character Here (YCH) commissions are YGWYS (you get what you see), with some room for alteration to better fit the character in the space/composition, at my discretion.--Minor revisions for YCHs will be allowed after the commission is complete, but only if I have missed a vital detail(s) of your character that were clearly listed on your references, mentioned on the request form or in an email.--Sponsored commissions are complete artist freedom, and thus will not be subject for revisions.Critiques and redline corrections for commissions above $140 are welcomed to ensure the best result. Commissions under $140 are considered small works, thus revised sketches are not factored into the price.I reserves the right to reject critique and redline pertaining to artistic skill or style preference (i.e. anatomy, coloring/rendering style, etc.) or if said critique reduces the artistic quality of the piece.*I do my best to accurately depict your character’s design. But if you are extremely particular about small details, anatomical features of fantasy animals/creatures, or coloring/rendering style then I may not the best artist for your needs. *(For best results I recommend familiarizing yourself my body of work and considering my strengths before ordering a commission. While I’m fine with a certain level of challenge, it’s best that it fall somewhere within my established skill set.)I reserve the right to recycle sketches/preparatory works/concepts that remain unused from your commission for other commissions (including “your character here” types of commissions) or personal works and projects.🔸CommunicationCorrespondence about commissions between the Client and Artist will take place solely through [email protected] (or VGen, if applicable) for the purpose of record-keeping and consolidation.
